A first time dad has angered both his own parents and in-laws by insisting they all follow an extensive list of requirements when visiting his newborn son. He and his wife welcomed a baby boy three days ago and 'held off' on visits for the first day, as the dad admitted he was a 'very anxious' new parent. The man explains that neither of their families are clear on 'boundaries' when it comes to newborns, with his parents being very 'old fashioned and thinking letting a child eat dirt is better than any vaccine'. On the other hand, he says his wife's family 'just have a tendency to be very me me me'. In an effort to nip any potential problems in the bud, the dad sent out an email laying down his visitation rules - but it's led to him being branded 'rude' and 'demanding'. His rules were: You can't visit if you feel ill No children under 18 because 'schools are breeding grounds for viruses' Visitors to wear 'light' perfume or no perfume at all Always agree a visiting time first Visits only between the hours of 9am and 5pm No gifts because 'it'll be a hassle to bring home' Keep visits between 3-4 people at a time He wrote : "I felt a little overbearing, but my wife read it over and said it sounded fine."

"Then my mother starts up and tells us that we've been very rude and cold and says that as grandmother, it's her right to visit the baby when she pleases and she shouldn't have to 'RSVP' to her grandson's birth. "She calls me impolite for sending out a 'demanding' email like I did and insists that if I regulate my son as strictly as I did his visitings, he'll grow up resenting my wife and I. "We told them to go, and my mother told me she raised me too well to have me be so rude to my own family. "My mother-in-law said that if my wife didn't 'crack down on me', they'd never be visiting again. "My wife has changed her tune about the whole thing and thinks I was being too combative. "I really don't think I was that wrong in exercising my boundaries, and I think that them not listening is proof it was needed." After asking if he h
