I'm the bad guy
Okay so hubby's mom is in town & she's been here for 2 weeks. She's practically spent everyday with my 2 month old, takes him in the room closes the door .. Bonds with him .. That's fine. I started back work on Monday (8-15-16) it's a 2 hr commute to and from work plus I work full time . So after 52 weeks with my bundle of joy it was my first full day being away from him .. VERY hard . So she watched him for the 14 hrs a day this whole week.. One thing that I was trying to prepare for was the mom in law stepping in & sort of overriding your parenting NOT on purpose obviously. My baby eats every 2 hrs and she was trying to stretch his feeding schedule, which I feel isn't necessary right now being that he's just 2 months. Not only that I noticed if it turned into 3 hrs he would cry hysterically and would fall asleep in the middle of his feeding because he's so exhausted from crying. Need I mention my baby isn't cry baby. Then she would assume if he whines a little it's cause he has gas but I know when he does and would suggest I give him meds which I'm not fond of medication I rather take the natural way any day. I don't like to feel like I'm being forced to do something I don't want to
Let me get to the point. Yesterday afternoon I was at work and the baby was with his grandmother, (hubby mom) she put him down to sleep and a little while after he started to whine and cry in his sleep like he's having a nightmare so she said she picked him up and tried to wake him up and that he wouldn't wake up , she started to lift his arm and legs and they would just drop. So she panicked and called everyone but me. (Which I was sort of pissed off about) and a niece of hers told her that the baby was going through a growth spurt. I got home and she told me this but she started it off with "I had a little scare with him" which automatically put me in panick mode. She said he was only drinking 2 oz a feeding. (He drinks 5) I immediately just wanted to hold my baby . Bad enough I was already spending so much time away from him. I was so worried with the way she described how everything happened . The next morning I just wanted to spend some QT with my LO. She came in our room and asked to get him and I jokingly wined "nooo :( " because i didn't want her to take him in the room again . I still gave him to her she said I'll stay here .. Then she gave him back and that's when it all went down
Hubby now is making me out to be the bad guy because I didn't want to give my son to his mom.. If you guys could understand how bad I feel right now from having to spend less time away from my son . So now she's keeping her distance and his hubby throwing it in my face that I'm wrong. I have to go back to work tomorrow and all I wanted to do was spend time with my son especially after that little "scare" .
Trying to explain how I feel to have hubby I'm not getting anywhere . He's stuck on how she's visiting so she should have the right to have him when she wants because he will be with me for the rest of his life.
Smh . Disregard my Seperation anxiety and how this makes me feel to leave my son for the first time in the care of someone else .
I'm just so stressed out .
