No. It's her right who she wants around her child.

I think it's reasonable to expect people to behave appropriately around a child, however if you are a person who curses but don't curse in front of the child I don't see how it would pose the child any problems (though I think cursing is a sign of a weak mind). I doubt the newborn will pick up on the cursing, but I understand wanting to protect a tiny baby, and as the child gets older it will be more important. I don't want people cursing around my daughter (she's 2 1/2) and I have asked complete strangers to watch their language if they are cursing around her. Most of them act embarassed and apologize because they realize that cursing around kids isn't appropriate.

no shes being a good mommy. She doesnt want people who curse and have bad habits around her baby because she doesnt want her baby to have those bad habits. Her baby might be to young now to pick up on them but she wont be for long...and your friend is probably just weeding out those people from her life so her daughter has only good influences around her.

not at all!
"it takes a village to raise a child".
if your village is full of people who will raise your child in a poor manner, then, by all means, find a new village.
what i'm saying is that, as parents, we have a responsibility to raise our kids in a safe, caring, healthy environment. taking your kids around people who curse and have bad habits is not a good thing....no matter how old the child is.
my husband is a marine and every marine i've ever met has a tendency to curse quite a bit, inluding my husabnd. now, i can turn the foul language on and off pretty easily, myself, but my husband doesn't.
we just had our first born and, now, anytime i hear him drop an f-bomb or anything else i remind him that he needs to curb that stuff.
bottom-line--she's the mommy and she gets to decide how she raises her kid. if she doesn't want him around people who do bad things and curse, then good for her!
take care.

Good for her...Gotta love new mommies!
My major concerns will be smoking and drinking. I don't want anyone who is doing that to be around my child. Cursing is another story I'll have an issue w/ that myself. My baby will probably come out speaking the unspeakable from hearing me yell at other drivers in traffic...lol.
But its not unreasonable for a parent to ask that you don't smoke in the house while her child is visiting. Smoking can cause SIDS, ear infections, respiratory infections, just to name a few. Why should my baby suffer because of someone else's habit.

Oh, undesirable toddler. i grow to be petrified of SIDS additionally, yet i could no longer think of continually waking up my toddler! it sounds as in the adventure that your buddy is having some form of post-partum psychological ailment, heavily. there's a distinction between being overprotective and what she is doing. Does she have a husband or different relatives member which could step in and check along with her? If something get her a sort of pads that toddler's sleep on which will sound an alarm if the toddler stops respiration, consistent with possibility she'll relax sufficient to enable the undesirable toddler sleep. yet particularly, it appears like she desires some form of psychological wellbeing intervention, her toddler can't enhance and thrive if he would not get sufficient sleep.

You can only protect your child so much. She'll be in for a rude awakening when she see's what her child learns when they go to school. And they will be more then eager to learn if they are so sheltered like that. And I'm sure she has some bad habits herself. I can understand not wanting someone to curse though. It's a rule at our house...no cursing!

I understand not wanting anyone to curse around the baby. But I think she'll have trouble with keeping people with bad habits away from it. Everyone has bad habits including herself. She'll quickly learn that she's being unreasonable.

I think she has every right to be protective. Why would you want someone around who is going to teach your child bad things? Tell that person to knock it off around the baby or stay away.

No, She's just being a good mom. If she starts now when the baby isn't aware then it will be natural as the baby gets older. We all need to protect our kids! Thats a good thing!!
