Should I be pissed at my mother.
My mom baby sat my daughter for the 2nd time tonight while my SO and I went out for dinner. I came home to her passed out sleeping on the couch holding her. And immediately felt SOOOOO angry. She didint even hear us come in. I did tell her once she woke up that I was mad at her for falling asleep while holding her.
I have fallen asleep holding my baby. I don’t feel like a bad mom for it. Being a sleep deprived mom doing this by myself for the majority of the time, I feel like I have to cut myself some slack. It happens. I’m sure my mom has already fallen asleep with my baby. We are only human. That being said, it’s your baby and you’re the mom and you make decisions on what you feel is best for your baby.
I've been cranky with my hubby as he trends to doze off, I tell him if you are getting tired put him down if, he's not ready he'll cry and you can just keep getting up to comfort or stand up and walk around to comfort him so you don't fall asleep. I haven't let my mother in law watch him yet but I fear this with her as I've seen her sleep in a chair in tiger, afternoon and c early evening so not just late at night. Honestly I most likely won't have anyone watching him he's bigger so he's less likely to be smothered.
I don’t think that’s ridiculous to be upset about that but it might feel more serious to you because of your mama bear hormones! Also, your mom probably did the same with you when you were a baby and you survived it! I’d just ask her not to do that again!! Maybe she could just put the baby in her bed before falling asleep.
Lol she raised you . You survived. I get what you’re saying, but just let her know how you want things done and I’m sure she will comply.
