Feeling a bit blue

This is my 2nd baby. I remember with DS around 10-15 weeks I was a bit blue randomly! I felt low

but it’s happening again :( and just want to vent I just feel a bit pulled in all directions

my DH wants to go on dates etc and I do too but I don’t like sending DS out a lot for childcare. I don’t like sending him to MIL as I don’t feel she follows thr routine We have for him and I just don’t enjoy him going to her (he’s only been babysat by her twice). My mum has him 1x day a week while she’s off work so he isn’t in nursery for 5 days a week so we’re very grateful but I don’t feel like I can ask for any more as that’s a lot

my mum constantly goes on about how she’s the grandma who does more (she is inrecognise this) and makes me feel guilty but I have overwhelming worry when he goes to MIL so I’ve thought to myself like why would I have him babysat if I can’t relax a tiny bit?

so I just feel like I need to try and keep everyone happy and everyone just thinks I’m unreasonable and don’t want to do things in my relationship or help my mother out a bit. And it’s not that
