Today, I went to the hospital to visit my aunt and her newborn baby. The receptionist gave me the room number, and I went and my aunt was in the bathroom so I cuddle the baby, only to find that the woman who came out of the bathroom was a complete stranger. I was holding her baby. FML

Thanksgiving
Questions about your love life, a burnt turkey and the cousin who knows everything: Thanksgiving, a contact sport.
Today, I drove to the hospital to see my newborn. I went to the room, picked him out of the crate and held him. Then I heard the toilet flush and saw a woman who I didn't know come out. She screamed. My wife was in the room next door. FML
Today, I was at our local park and saw what I thought was my sister holding her baby. I walked up behind her, kissed her on the head, and said, “You’re such a good mum.” It was very much not my sister. It was a very confused and now probably traumatised stranger. FML
Today, I gave birth to a baby girl. Where was my husband after the agony finally ended? Standing just outside the room, flirting with a nurse. FML
Today, I tried to make it right by visiting my girl in the hospital after she had our baby. I fucked up by freaking out and dumping her since I didn’t feel ready, but now wanted to do the right thing. When I got there, another guy was kissing her and holding my baby. My best friend/cousin. FML
Today, I gave birth to my daughter in a hospital corridor. The nurse who took me to my room afterwards tried to comfort me by saying there'd been worse incidents; she said that two years ago, a lady gave birth in the parking lot. That was me too. FML
Today, I gave birth to my firstborn child. Somehow, my mom and mother-in-law made their way to the delivery room, and walked in mid-push. While they were escorted out, I overheard my mother-in-law asking the nurse how her son, my husband, was holding up. FML
Today, I met my wife's mistress, at the maternity ward in the hospital, after she gave birth to our second child. FML
Today, I visited my Aunt in hospital. Another patient got jealous, so she threw a tantrum. She threw things at us, pulled her drip out, threw herself to the floor, screamed, pounded the floor with her fists and pissed herself. My aunt is still waiting for a new room, and the staff blame me. FML
Today, I was at the airport to pick up my mother since my baby is due soon. As she arrived, I smiled wide and opened my arms for a hug, but she walked right by me. Apparently, being pregnant makes me unrecognizable. My husband and I had to tell it her was me, her own daughter. FML
Today, I had to go to the hospital. While I was there, my mom started hitting on a doctor. Later I saw them making out in the room next to me. FML
Feel like sharing it with the other FML users?

That is very true, regardless if the baby belonged to your aunt or not, you cannot just pick up and hold a newborn baby without even asking for permission. Also I can't remember another serious comment by perdix besides this one.

If she's a helicopter mom watch out lol But seriously, I would have just asked who you were and why are you holding my baby? To leave with a baby you have to have a car seat at the hospital I was at, so not so scary. As to the germ thing, does anybody actually do that?

Saying it's not so bad because the person couldn't actually leave with the baby is like saying it's not so bad if your house is ransacked as long as they didn't take anything. The violation is still valid. It's not so much about thinking this stranger is trying to steal your baby as much as you feeling violated that someone would touch your baby without asking you first. As a new mother you're running on instinct and your number one priority is keeping your baby safe - seeing some random cuddling your baby will kick your defenses into high gear. And as for the germ thing - yes, there are people who do that. The hospital I had my one daughter at wouldn't even let the babies out of the nursery during visiting hours to minimize the exposure to germs. Family members and friends could see them through the glass, but that was it. Dads were allowed special visting time after everyone else had left to cuddle with baby.

Kinda your fault... It's just your cousin. You should've waited for your aunt first. YDI OP.

Who knows, maybe OP and their aunt are really close? Just a theory, so I wouldn't get too upset over the whole holding the baby without its mother's permission thing. As for the situation at hand... FYL indeed.

YDI, you don't just grab someone's newborn without asking, even if it's family.
