Ladies please please Help! I need real advice 😞my baby is 4.5 months old. My husband bought us tickets while I was pregnant and told his parents he could watch baby. Well the time is here. And I don't know how to tell him this but I am completely uncomfortable leaving my baby with his family. His siblings have some issues I'm uncomfortable with. And his sister has handed the baby to her 7 year old daughter (husbands niece) to hold in completely inappropriate ways (niece was on an exercise ball by the STAIRS and my sister in law handed my newborn to her to hold on the ball!) My brother in law has some issues and he just makes me uncomfortable. I've told him I'm uncomfortable and he assures me his mom would make sure nothing would happen and she'd be fine. I don't know what to do. I don't know if i should trust my husband telling me his mom wouldn't let his siblings do anything stupid and leave my baby with my inlaws or I should stand my ground and say no. I hate this scenario! He's her father and a wonderful one at that I don't want to undermine him, but leaving her there leaves a pit in my stomach. What do I do?!
@babyamama if I dont trust a situation I go with that feeling...your mommy you are the one who knows better before anyone...
@babyamama stand your ground... My hu sband and his family are kinda similar .... They think I should be fine with his 10 year doing stuff and holding(walking) with my child... Ummm no, I keep saying no... A 10 year...at least my step daughter is no where near mature or responsible to do anything... She literally walks into walls from not paying attention to anything... Call me mean...I don't care, my child safety is what comes first....
Yeah I would just stay home, maybe you can go next time, I understand this so much
if you have a bad feeling always trust your gut. I always leave my kids with my dad or mom they always take great care of my kids I never really leave them with my bd parents if I do it's very rare..
@scarapella1, yes I could leave her with my parents but I don't know how to tell my husband "no I don't like your parents so she's going to my parents" 😞 then I'm wondering if I'm just being mean because I don't like them and don't want to leave my baby there. I don't know
That's a tough situation to be in. Honestly if you are that uncomfortable leaving your baby with them I wouldn't do it. Go with your gut feeling on this. My parents, I trust immensely with my boys. My husband's parents, no way. They are not trustworthy. I would tell your husband how you feel. It's your child and her safety that matters at the end of the day! I hope you can work this out. Is there other family that could watch her that you trust?
There's a reason your intuition is raising red flags. Trust your gut mama. If you aren't comfortable, don't do it
