Mother in law came over a few days ago before baby was born I said it three times no kissing the baby when he is born. He is only two weeks old she kisses him and immediately said she was sorry and forgot. I’m feeling a bit upset/ angry about it because I feel like my boundaries never get listened to or remembered or respected not just with this but with my own mother to.
This almost makes me want to cut contact with her again as she is already on a tight leash we went ten years without talking with her and we just started talking again and allowed this visit.

At the very least, don’t let her hold your baby again. Since she can’t remember, you can’t take changes.
You could call and tell her no visits for a set number of months, plus she needs to seek medical treatment for her memory issues. Tell her you are doing this to protect your newborn from disease. She did it on purpose. NOR
OP, you are not overreacting.
What did your spouse say & do when his mother kissed his child and then quickly (fake?) apologized?
