In recent years, the idea of consent parenting has gained a lot of traction.<\/strong>

The concept is fairly simple. Caretakers teach children the importance of boundaries from a young age. While many praise the idea, some believe it\u2019s over the top.<\/strong>

In 2022, a mother took to Mumsnet, a forum for parents, and asked if she was being unreasonable for banning her mother-in-law from changing her newborn\u2019s diaper.<\/strong>

Her reason and the other parents\u2019 responses are below!<\/strong>

The mother, who went by Mum070322 on the forum, called upon her fellow parents for help after a situation she encountered with her mother-in-law.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cI\u2019m very keen on consent and protecting my baby\u2019s privacy and prefer that only myself and my partner are the ones to change [my son\u2019s] nappy,\u201d she wrote.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

However, she added a daycare worker or someone who is babysitting is allowed to change their diaper.

Dad puts a diaper on the baby.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cA while ago my MIL was over and my baby started crying and rather than just give him back decided to take it upon herself to change him (I was standing right there) he continued crying throughout the change and she gave him back straight after but it annoyed me as it wasn\u2019t her place to change him.\u201d

At the time her child was 4 months old, and she was \u201ctrying to be nice and friendly\u201d by not saying anything, but she wrote that recently her mother-in-law has been \u201cmore overbearing\u201d and she wants to draw a line.
