Okay i have a delima! I need help with... my mother inlaw to be lives about 1 hour away from us! My son is only 2.5 months old and she wants us to let her take him for the weekend! I am the only person that has taken care of him since he was born and the only person that has done his bedtime routine! We have let her watch him through the night when we are there and I could never sleep knowing that he is with her! Once we were there for a day and I brought a huge can of formula, that has never been opened and she was the one watching him and the can was 2/3 gone when we got back an i know he didnt eat that much because thats like20 bottles! She feeds him so much that he vomits! We tell her his routine and she never follows it! Then we get him home and he is a nightmare to get back into a routine! What should I do? What should I tell her? He cries even when my fiance is home alone with him! Atleast until i get back! Even when he holds him and im here he cries until I pick him up! She told me to let her watch him because her 10 and 7 year old will be home! What does that have to do with it? I dont know what to do! She told me that I have to cut the apron strings but its hard because two years ago I lost a baby boy due to preterm labor and had to pull the plug on him... So its hard to let go right now... What should i do?
updat: Kyle thinks that im paranoid and that its no big deal! He says that i just done like his mother and thats not it at all... he told me that he doesnt feel comfortable that carson goes to my moms house but he still goes! UGH MY MOM LIVES IN TOWN AND I CAN GO CHECK ON HIM IF I WANT!!!! or if she has a problem i can go there in the night... unlike kyles mom who lives out of town and she wouldnt give him to me even if i begged her to if i drove there to get him!
Zhara is almost 2 and i dont trust my mother or her fathers mother with my daughter over night,,,she doesnt even go to her dads house over night nor will she ever if your not comfertable with your son being that far away from you over night then i wouldnt let him go. i feel a child is too young untill at least the age of 3
I guess I am an idiot then because my daughter has stayed over night with my MIL and my own mom she stayed the 1st time with my mom at 3 mos old and I trust my mom she watches over my dd very well and if my mom wants to smoke she does OUTSIDE and has my 16 yr old brother watch my dd for a few mins. As for my MIL she watches my dd every once in a while because she knows her limits as when she is getting worn down but does a great job with her also THANK GOD i dont have a mil from hell I have known her since i was 14!
