Is there anyone who knows how to contact tech support?

Recently cut off contact with partners family; 10 week old baby involved. Was it selfish or unfair to do so?

  • We recently cut off all contact with my partners family; simply due to his mothers behaviour. His mum has a lot of issues; she smokes pot in the house every evening (along with his dad and his older brother; (he is 24 and still lives at home) The rooms are constantly filled with the smell of marajuana and often other types of drugs (weed, speed, pills and tobacco) are left out on low surfaces (tables, work tops and beds) His brother often dries 'magic mushrooms' out on the heater (could easily be reached by little hands) too and his parents think nothing of it. His mum also likes to drink every few days on top of taking drugs each night. She is a YOUTH WORKER! His mum knows i am young, at first i expected she just wanted to help us out and offer support to us with the baby but when i found out i was pregnant she started to make bitchy, rude and offensive comments towards me. She has said many hurtful things on many occasions one being "If you don't bond with the baby quick enough i will take her off of you" Others include "When the baby stays with me she will be dirty and i will have to bathe her because you won't be able to" She has also told people in the area she lives (including my friends and family) that the baby belongs to another guy and even told my partner not to be too 'disapointed' if he turns out not to be the daddy. That comment hurt me so much as this is a complete lie and my partner is the father of the child. His mum heard rumors beforehand and then decided to spread them which i think its highly immature and cruel. She thinks my baby is hers and has even resorted to buying nursery furniature for her bedroom as she seems to think the baby is staying over at her house. She expected me to let my daughter stay over at hers and also on weekend when she was days old. She used to tell me what was happening, she also made a rota between HER family members (the aunties) that displays what days they are having the baby to stay at their house. I have NEVER met the people and i wasnt happy with the idea. I am having a lot of crap thrown at me from his family members. Many of them didn't want to know me before i got pregnant and all of a sudden they think they can get involved. I previously mentioned also that i am not happy with the fact they think its fine to have their staffy dog around the baby. I am even having to rehome my dog (he is a small dog, terrier size) because we want to make sure that the baby is safe. People say their dog wouldn't hurt anyone but any dog can become scared, jealous or confused when faced with changes such as a baby and i do not want to risk anything happening to my baby. The family laughed in my face and have refused to put the dog in a different room when the baby comes round. I had my heart set on getting a small tattoo done for my baby and was recently advised by my tattooist that i shouldnt get the tattoo due to the medication i am on (blood thinners to treat my blood clot) so i am now unable to get the tattoo done. My partners mother recently found out this and is now getting a tattoo dedicated to my little girl. When she told me about this she looked smug because she knew that i couldnt get a tattoo done. I recently discussed this with her and she started crying and apologised. Me and my partner walked out of her house and didn't speak to her for just over a month. She then called up crying and said she wouldn't get involved but now she has done it all again. I spoke to her about several things that i am not happy about but she is not willing to change. She constantly calls me and DEMANDS to see my daughter & keeps pestering me about babysitting her. We recently said to her that she will not be able to see the baby unless she comes to my house, she will not be able to take the baby to her house and she will not be able to take the baby out. She aggreed that she would come and visit but has only done so ONCE in TEN WEEKS! We recently cut off contact and now I am being ganged up on by the family. Was it selfish or unfair of me to cut off contact?

I would cut off contact just based on the drugs alone.

Think if the house was raided or something while your baby was there she would be taken away. I'm on your side and you shouldn't let this bother you your the mother of this child not them. If you don't want to see them too bad for them if they really cares they would change

I would cut off contact just cause I want my baby to be safe. I wouldn't want her to grow up in an environment with drugs around her. I wouldn't keep in contact unless the family really did become clean.

Must be difficult dealing with all the drama of being and mating with trash, I guess. That's pathetic that you ditched your dog because you couldn't be bothered to care for both an infant and a pet at the same time. You do realise millions and millions of homes have children and pets, and that getting rid of a dog for no good reason is an irresponsible thing to do, right? Why could you not keep dog and baby either supervised or separated? Ridiculous. Anyway, sounds like you made some poor choices in balling this dude, and getting heavily involved with his family and their dramas. The part about the tattoo is absolutely hilarious. That and the "rumours" make clear what sort of...are you not even aware of what the deal is here, is there no self-awareness at all? "We are all in the gutter, but some of us are looking at the stars," wrote Oscar Wilde. Try a little harder with the 'looking at the stars' part, a little less with the rutting with the other trash left strewn in the gutter, kwim? These sorts of dramatics do not exist independently of you; you can choose to not fight with these people. You apparently prefer the drama. "We recently cut off contact and now I am being ganged up on by the family" makes no sense. How on earth would you know that you are "being ganged up on" if you had "cut off contact"? Don't fight with a pig -- you both get dirty, and the pig likes it...

I must say that if I was you, based on the description of what is going on with your partner's family. I would have cut off contact too. It is not selfish for you to want your baby to be safe and well taken care of. You are the mother of the baby, and your partner's mother does not have the right to "take things over". I think it was a very good idea to just allow the family to come over to your house if they want to see the baby. If they are not willing to make changes then they could at least be pleased with your accommodations on the matter. You are not being unfair. Don't be manipulated into thinking you are doing something wrong by trying to protect your baby..
