This is partly a going back to work thread and partly AIBU....
We live close to my MIL & FIL therefore it makes sense for them to care for DD when I return to work part time in July/Aug but the thought of them doing so makes me feel sick!
Even before DD was born I have felt as though MIL is trying to take her away from me. DD is now 8 months old.
By the time DD was 3 weeks old I was informed her 1st birthday party would be at their house and I could invite my parents if I wanted to!
Recently I left DD with her while I went to meet a friend but was anxious about doing so. When I returned to collect her here was no one home. MIL has said they would go for a walk but I informed her when I would be back as DD would be hungry and I had to get her home for her lunch. MIL could not understand why I was upset they were home as DD was fine so I should be as well.
I feel she has NO respect for me as a mother and is always trying to take over.
I feel guilty for wanting to return to work at all but know I need to. I know MIL will take good care of DD and that I need to get these feelings under control but am finding this almost impossible to do!
Any thoughts?
