I don't like hate other people taking my ds (15months) out without me. Single mum, another year at uni, mum, sister, or Nursery take care of ds when I'm working. It took me a while to feel comfortable leaving ds with anyone without me being there at all, going back to uni meant I had no choice and I accepted that. Now if my mum or sister mention getting a car seat so they can take ds out I get really annoyed and jealous. I know it's irrational but it hasn't settled and I would go as far as to call in sick if they had made plans to go out with ds when they were looking after him. I don't know if I'm scared of not being there if something happens, or if I'm just not wanting to miss anything, but I need help to overcome this
I feel like everything regarding ds is up to me and I enjoy being a mum and taking care of him, and I want to take him to these places and have those memories I don't want someone else to take that from me. I feel really protective and panic if I don't hear from the person caring for him when I'm at work. I don't like people changing the food I give him or introducing new things, or buying things I wanted to get him, not with everything but important milestone type toys. My mum refuses to tell me what she's bought him for Christmas she said it's a surprise, this really annoys me I feel like she's trying to control things and disrespecting me even though I know that's how I'm acting. It's just a deep rooted feeling I have where it makes me feel sick to think of someone else doing things I feel I should do
