In-Laws Expose Newborn to Illness

One mom is facing backlash after she banned her husband’s family from seeing their newborn for 6-12 months. Her mother-in-law (MIL) and sister-in-law (SIL) visited the baby, who soon fell sick. Upon taking the baby to the doctor, the mom found out her MIL had been exposed to the flu and her SIL’s husband had COVID the week before. They had lied about their exposure, even after the mom asked if they’d been around anyone sick. After confronting them, the mom decided to ban them from seeing the baby, but her husband and friends think she’s wrong for making the decision without him. Let’s see what the internet thinks of this situation…
