Am I Wrong for Not Wanting a Babysitter the First Few Months?
Venting: Am I wrong for saying I'm not going to need anyone to watch my child the first couple of months? My mom and sister are getting on my nerves about how they want to babysit her. I'll be a stay at home mom. What I need a babysitter the first couple of months for? Plus I want to breastfeed. I know they mad because my husband and I decided to move to Houston but this is my family(baby). I told them the can come over at anytime then they complain about that. Telling me to drop her off...wrong you want to see her you can come to my house. I don't care if I'm being selfish right now. If it was my sister's child I'd go to her and spend time with her so my sister can nap. They'll realize when I'm at home and not driving to them that they can come to me.

Nope, nothing wrong with this at all. I've always had the mindset that the best person to watch your child is you. Not saying there is anything wrong with having someone else watch them but I'm the same way you are. And the bigger bonus you get to be a stay at home mom!!! That's great! They'll get over it and will drive over.-- Your good mama!♡

@julia1roxie thank you! They just complain so much. I understand that they want to spend time with her before we move but dang I'll be trying to breastfeed. I'm not trying to just pump and have her take a bottle. I thought I would feel bad about telling them but I really don't care about their feelings 😐. And if i go over to them all I'd end up doing is staying and sleeping at they house..which I can do at home. They can come over and watch her while I clean or something.

Not selfish at all. I have to draw the line at how often they come visit. My younger sister wants to basically move in. Nope!

@swdemopulos1 it's just annoying. I understand it's the first baby but dang just call and let me know that y'all want to see her. They expect me to drop her off they will realize that I'm not doing that if they want to watch her they better come to my house

Spend time with your baby. The bond breastfeeding is like no other. My son didnt spend the night with my mom until he was almost 2. And that was only one time lol take your time. Let them know when you are ready you will tell them

My son is 2 almost 3 and has only been watched by someone else maybe 3 times for only a couple of hours, we don’t trust anyone to watch him properly

@naylaa @lareina_kk it's not that i don't trust them it's that if I need it I'll ask. They want to babysit and if that's the case then they can come babysit at my house but don't ask to watch her and expect me to drop her off...makes zero since
