Dd is 10 months old. Since she was born SIL has made it clear that she wants 1:1 time with her which I gave brushed off. She used to take her off me when she was really little and hold her for hours, even when she would start to cry she was reluctant to give her back and I ended up snatching her back a few times.
For the last few months DD has had a clingy phase and wouldn't go to her at all so the stopped asking for her and I thought the novelty had worn off but I have found out the she has been asking DH for 1:1 time with her and has made her a bedroom in her home for sleepovers when she gets a little bit older.
I discussed with DH that I am not happy with this and I don't mind her having her for an hour while I pop out but I don't want her doing sleepovers. DH is happy to go with what I think but thinks we should allow it when she gets to around 2 years old as he used to sleep at his aunties and loved it but I don't want her to. AIBU to think that I didn't have a baby to pass her off to other people?
I really don't understand why family members insist on 1:1 time. SIL visits at least once a week for several hours and spends the whole time with DD so why does she need her by herself?
