My MIL has said that once bump gets here she would like to keep baby once a month over night which is very nice of her but the thing is i'm very worried about letting her due to her views on child care but as my mum will be taking baby feel i can't say no.
My main issues are she believes that babys should not be picked up unless being fed or changed even if they are crying she says she left her 2 DS in the bouncy chair or cot 24/7 which i am just now happy with.
Her youngest DS by BIL didn't sleep well so she left him down stairs at night to cry alone without a baby monitor so she could sleep to me i would worry that if something does happen she wouldn't know.
And lastly she believes children should be seen and not heard and has in the past labled by 4 yr old niece a little madam for joining in a convo (which was about her starting school so i see no problem with her havin her own opinion on it) so i worry as baby gets older will be left to play alone constantly and not allowed to join in.
She is not the type of person either me or DP could speak to about it as she would just say she'll do it her way and it never hurt her boys (which is debatable youngest is gettin bullied and wont stand up for himself as doesnt know how and DP left home at 16 and had drug issues in the past with E and weed)
What do you think?
