Her AUDACITY.

I'm on episode 5, and I swear to god I'm a pretty peaceful person, but I want to punch some compassion and empathy into her.

Not only is she a doormat, trophy wife who smiles and cheers at her husband cheating on her (literally what Teja said about her, a cheerleader) but she's also a homewrecker (that man was in a damn relationship AND getting divorced) who proudly dislikes her step-kids from the first marriage?

I know most of this is scripted, but I the facial expressions on her face when talking about anything from his first marriage can't be faked.

Ew.

My husband and I agreed to put a list of wants/want nots before announcing to our families (so it's completely our opinions/not swayed by anyone) and then we'll revisit them at 6 months and then 9 months and see what we want to keep/add/discard.

Anyway, the baby passing around thing came up, and we're on completely different sides. He does NOT want anyone near our newborn until it's safe (1-2 months?) and while I get that he's coming from a place of care and overprotectiveness, I want our baby to meet everyone. I want her/him to get all the cuddles and feel all the love from both of our families.

Maybe this is idealistic or naive thinking on my part, but I don't see anything wrong with it as long as no one is sick/everyone washes their hands and sanitizes properly, etc. All of them do those things anyway because we have doctors/surgeons on both sides of our families, and they've instilled sanitization in us so much so that everyone has a dispenser thingie in the foyer.

Anyway, I'm rambling. Maybe I'll feel differently at 6 months or 9 or when baby is here, but I don't think so? I don't think hubby is going to change his mind either, so can anyone explain to me why a lot of people are against it?
