Newborn grandson barred from Thanksgiving dinner because grandma's new boyfriend “doesn't like kids,” suggests getting a sitter instead of hosting a baby: ‘I feel betrayed that my mom would prioritize this guy over her grandchild’

The first holiday season with a new baby is supposed to feel magical, at least for the parents; the baby might actually be a little discombobulated by all of the crazy new sounds, sights, smells, and tastes. This last December, I got to celebrate my baby cousin's first Christmas with him. He was only 6 months old at the time, wearing an elf costume, and drooling happily while we passed him around like a hot potato. Nobody cared that he cried a little during dinner or that his parents had to bow out a little earlier than usual. Honestly, having him around made the evening better because instead of getting into squabbles, we all just gushed over how cute he looked in his jingly little elf hat. 

That's the sort of experience this new mom wanted to have with her 7-month old daughter on Thanksgiving at her mom's house. Except she ends up finding out over a phone call that her baby is not welcome. Turns out that grandma's new boyfriend of less than a year "doesn't like kids" and doesn't want a baby "ruining dinner." Instead of standing up for her granddaughter, she actually suggests that her daughter find a sitter and come celebrate without the baby. When she refuses, she is accused of putting the baby "before family." That left everyone – me, our narrator, the internet, even the baby – wondering exactly what constitutes as "family" to this lady if not her literal newborn granddaughter.
