Girl no I agree 💯 with you ? My daughter is about to be 5 in 4 weeks and am just now letting her stay the night with people outside of me and her father. His mother is crazy ASF for even saying that.
MIL keep our daughter 2 weeks or a month at a time,but that's because I'm in heart beginning stage of heart failure and getting ready to have heart surgery the start of the year
You could give designated days every other week. Like, Fridays and Saturdays every other week?? So they can still spend time with grandchild and you also can have a 1-2 day to get whatever you need done outside or inside home. It’s not neglectful or you being a POS at all. Take that village!
So she was supposed to have them 1 night and they didn't bring your kid back on time ??? I would absolutely never trust them again. If you don't want to let your kid over with them, you don't have to. I adore my In laws but we don't do sleep over and we spend time all together whenever we are all available.
As far as her not bringing the baby back , it was forgiven. She actually had a valid excuse and she's the only grandma my child has. I still didn't like that very much but I didn't express any concerns to her and just knew the baby would be safe with her.
My husband’s parents live in another country and I don’t have parents at all and I never have... His parents wish they could live here where we live and be in our children’s lives on a regular basis. You’re lucky to have people in your life who can/want to be there! 🫶🏼 If I were you I would definitely share my baby with my in laws.
Yikes I’m sorry but this would make me crazy. Like if they didn’t bring her back when they were supposed to I would go and get her. It’s up to you if you want to make it a regular thing but I think as the mum you decide, you don’t need to bow to pressure from them about them wanting to have the baby at theirs. It’s your baby!!
Yeah, bringing the baby back at the agreed time is a prerequisite to watching the baby again. A day late is not "the right time." Trusted or not, keeping your child away from you is kidnapping. I'd have been at their door letting them know, now is good. You don't have to be any 'kind of mom' to be against this. Future sleepovers will simply not be possible...
My Husband's parents are completely trustworthy with children, they're good people , but I don't want to look like a negligent POS and just give my child away to her grandma for no good reason.
