Tips on dealing with MIL

Any tips on how to tell MIL not to kiss my baby without being too offensive? This MIL we had told her through SIL but she obviously disregarded what we said to her and purposely kissed my baby on his lips. I was so disgusted by her. Out of respect (even though she was disrespectful to our wishes but I don't want to stoop to her level), I want to tell her directly not to do it during our next visit but do not want to come across as rude. Appreciate any advice! Thanks!

On lips is unacceptable, on cheeks still boderline ok. Actually we cant pleased everyone, u are nice enough that u dont want to offend her. Ask your husband to do tell your mil. If not then just tell directly, we cant pleased everyone. Sometimes us mothers we try to please everyone but then it just affect us. Being direct is also not offensive. When I am in confinement, my family would just come visit and sometimes pass toxic remarks to me, and i learned it the hard way because i let them, our body n mind have gone thru alot, so now do things thats good for u! Take care of yourself ya!
