New Mom Says Sister-in-Law Asked to 'Take' Her Newborn After Family Visit

Her husband rebuked the remark, with readers urging strict boundaries.

Overview

  • The account comes from a Reddit post describing a first family visit weeks after the birth, later picked up by UK outlets.
  • The poster says her sister-in-law doted on the baby, resisted handing him back for feeding, and offered unsolicited pointers.
  • During the visit, the sister-in-law allegedly said she could "take him off your hands" because she had been trying to conceive for three years.
  • The husband confronted his sister and told her never to repeat the comment or say it around their son, while their mother said it was a joke.
  • Commenters urged the couple to set firm boundaries and noted the story is based on the mother's firsthand account without independent verification.
