Being entitled is never a good look for anyone. Even if you believe you are correct, it is always a good idea to seek another opinion because we sometimes have our heads too far up our butts to realise we are incorrect. That’s why the AITA subreddit exists in the first place. People can ask strangers on the Internet questions and get a general consensus on what they should do and whether they are right or wrong.

However, sometimes their behaviour is so entitled that we are taken aback. This is especially true in the case of entitled parents. Just because you have a child does not entitle you to any special treatment. Setting a bunch of rules when your family wants to come over and meet the child is one way to alienate them.
That is exactly what is happening in this case, and you can read the entire story for yourself by scrolling down.

#9 Their families have tried making them understand but it isn’t working.

I understand setting a slew of rules to keep your child safe, but this is overkill. Wanting visitors to be vaccinated is a reasonable request, as is the smoking rule. However, none of the other rules are acceptable to me. It's almost as if she's blackmailing her family with the child. And I'm astounded that she refused to let her sister visit despite the fact that the college student offered to do more chores instead of giving a gift.
And who asks their guests to clean up around the house in exchange for seeing a child? This is all very strange and screams entitlement to me.
