Naturally, I called my mother-in-law and begged her to get a flu shot before coming over. Her response? She literally laughed and said, \u201cBack in my day, parents weren\u2019t this uptight.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Yeah\u2026 no. I held my ground and told her flat out: she\u2019s banned from my home until she gets vaccinated. I wasn\u2019t gonna risk my newborn\u2019s health just because she thinks vaccines are optional. The next day, a man shows up at my door with a bouquet of flowers. He says, \u201cI\u2019m here from your mother-in-law. She wanted me to deliver this\u2026 and her apology. She got the shot this morning.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>I legit smiled so hard. My baby\u2019s safe, and honestly, it feels like maybe she finally got a tiny glimpse of what modern parenting looks like. I know it\u2019s a small thing, but it felt like a win. So, Bright Side, was I overreacting by putting my foot down like that, or was I right to be firm?<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>I just had a baby a few days ago and, like any new parent, I\u2019m super paranoid about germs right now.
