My sister had her baby a couple weeks ago and I traveled there with my parents (which you should not do when you are 35 weeks pregnant .) Anyway, at the start of the visit, I told my parents we should wash our hands before holding baby and not kiss the baby. Especially since my mom frequently gets cold sores (though she didn't have an outbreak right then.) They were fine with the handwashing but were still kissing the baby on the head by the end of the visit. I didn't push it, of course, because it's not my baby and my sister was right there. When we were leaving, they asked if they could come visit me and the baby in the hospital. I said yes, but that they would not be kissing the baby unlike this visit. They said they misunderstood. 🤷
This isn't an unreasonable/unrealistic expectation, right?
