I've had several family members perform baby blessings in the home without any bishopric member president. It's up to the discretion of the bishop. Some are reasonable, others are controlling.

Our bishop came to our at-home baby blessing. He may have been trying to knock you down a peg, but you should know he or another member of the bishopric would have had to have been there if you blessed your baby at home. That's just how it works in the church.<br />I empathize with your frustration, but try not to let these types of conflicts come between you and your relationship with your Savior. Everyone, including bishops, can make mistakes, but try not to put your bishop in a negative light for all to see.D.Butlerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03978038219898812044noreply@blogger.com
