Do I sound rude?

Before I got pregnant even till before I give birth, I underestimated the love I have towards my baby. Back then when taking care of my niece/nephews, I get annoyed and impatient really quickly. Now my baby keeps me awake all day long and occasionally cries yet I feel happy. I became really protective of my baby (first baby). My mil keeps asking my husband to bring my baby to see his grandmother (which we probably visit during new year and the last is 2 years back). I have no issues, but my baby is barely a week old. She hasn’t got her vaccinations done nor is her immune system built up yet, I’m really worried and annoyed. Is it wrong for me to feel this way?

I would feel worried and annoyed too! Your baby is barely a week old, which means you are still in early days of your confinement - you ought to be resting fully at home, and not be dragged out to visit someone you and your husband are not even close to! If you agree to this, your MIL may continue imposing such inconvenience on you without any regards to you. Please don't think it's wrong of you to feel this way. We didn't make babies to fulfill our parents'/in-laws' wishes. Our babies come first.
