This is my first post.. hello everyone. I think I'm looking for a mixture of opinions and advice, so I hope I'm in the right place.
My son is seventeen months old. He's a fairly good sleeper, but he still wakes occasionally in the night - just for cuddles, not for milk or anything - and when he does it's often only me who can settle him.
Recently my Dad and Stepmum have been nagging me to let him go and stay with them again (they had him to stay once a few weeks ago when DH and I went out with my brother and his girlfriend for a bit of a "couples" night). I'm not happy about this. Babysitting was one thing but DH and I rarely go out together so we don't need them to babysit all the time. They said it's so I can have a break, but they don't seem to understand that being a parent IS my break - I had a really crappy time of it up until I became a mother and there's nothing I enjoy more than spending time with my little man. I just don't feel right about sending my baby off to stay with someone else for "no reason". I know that they like seeing him, but so do I! I don't want to miss one single minute of his baby-hood because it flies by so quickly! They, of course, think I'm totally out of order and ridiculously possessive.
Am I?
