Hi,
I'm new and have only recently found this site
I'm having a disagreement with my MIL. She's a clean freak and believes that babies (all children really) should live in sterile environments. I don't believe this as I feel it compromises a babies/childs ability to build immunity.
After spending the majority of my pregnancy telling me I should get rid of my dog, as he will obviously harm the baby [shocked] (I didn't get rid of him). She is now saying that she should do the majority of the baby sitting when I eventually go back to work (only a few days a week) as she feels my parents aren't suitable as their house isn't sparkling clean (it is clean just not to a clean freak level) and they have pets .
My parents volunteered to do most of the baby sitting and I said yes as they are a lot less highly strung than my MIL. MIL is now not speaking to me and it's annoying my DH. Our DS is our first baby and both our parents first grandchild so I understand that they want to spend time with him as he's fab but then I'm biased :)
AIBU to not let my MIL baby sit very often?
