My boyfriends mum family (including him) seem to always want to take my baby although i wont let them, its really depressing me that he wont back up my descisions and i have tried to compromise by taking her to his house once a week but they just want more and more.. what can i do? am i being silly?

No!! you are not being silly at all, I was in exactly the same situation after having my son, and no matter how much I tried to include them it was never good enough, however, there is light at the end of the tunnel!! a year on, I am happy to let my little man go on outings with his grandparents, as I know how much they enjoy him and when I see him enjoy them I know I am doing the right thing, and to be honest I quite enjoy the break, although I am always glad when he's back! but he is getting a big boy now, when he was a baby I felt so protective towards him, so go with your instincts, I always did, even if that meant upsetting the out-laws (in-laws!) every now and again, they will get over it, trust me, in the meantime your baby needs you and you need him so enjoy and don't feel bad :)
