It's not the breeders who want me to hold it... it's my own HUSBAND!!!! He doesn't want me to make HIM look bad in front of the only family he still speaks to.

Either the connection between the two of you and your husband's nephew is based on ties of affection, or it is based on a hope for inheritance. If the latter, you two could show up in ogre masks and scream at them and they'd still try to salvage the relationship. If the former, what kind of ties of affection are so fickle and conditional that they require deception instead of being yourself, in order to meet expectations?

Avoiding holding a baby is pretty simple. Keep your hands in your pockets so you don't look like you're ready or interested. If they hold it out, don't accept. "No thanks, looks like s/he is fine where s/he is". Stay standing so you don't have a lap to put the baby in. Keep talking about non-baby stuff. It's worked for me, anyways.

It's my dh who is trying to maintain the relationship. The nephew does look up to him like a second father figure. (as his father is 1000 miles away and doesn't really give a rip anyway)
