i have 2 boys, my youngest is 14weeks and yet again i find myself worrying over the fact that i want to be the first to see him do things
i thought after my first child this obsessive behaviour would have gone but it hasnt
i wont let my inlaws look after him incase they give him his first taste of food, (fully breastfed at moment but coming up to food stage)
or his first taste in chocolate or some other sweet food that somehow they insist they should try because they 'want it'
i remember when ds1 was 6mths old and we were over there at xmas, my fil really wound me up because even though he knows how i feel about it he told me he let him have some chocolate to taste and he loved it (i later found out he was winding me up but thats not the point, it didnt help me having a crap xmas night)
i know i should feel like this but cant help it, until i have done all his first's i dont want them to have him because they will do as they like anyway even if i say no
they are not really the problem, perhaps its me, when ds2 first came home from hospital, he was in his car seat when neighbour knocked the door to visit, i had to quickly take ds2 out of carseat so as i was the 'first' to hold him in my arms in my house
i had to be the first person he laughed at (although i am not too bothered if he laughed at dh or ds1 but it cant be anyone else)
i am the first person to give him gripewater/calpol etc so i can see his little face
please either tell me im not the only one like this or tell me that you also do similiar
i can understand many mothers want to see there childs first step etc etc but i seem to have gone to the extreme and its something i just cant let go, its like an obsession
