Am I wrong?? Leaving your 2day old baby

Question

First a little about us: So my (almost) husband and I have been ttc but difficulty due to PCOS. At 20 We are planning a wedding and building credit to buy our fist home. 
My future brother in law who is 26 and his child's mother who is 23 just brought a baby boy into the world... They planned it with no job, no cars and living with there parents. They are fighting over DNA!  At two days old left the baby with me for 2 hours today! 
I think about all the amazing people and families we have meet ttc and how they would kill for that baby. It kind of got to me today!!! I feel like I am being such a bitch!! 
Am I wrong for feeling this way?

Answer

I personally agree with you, I could never imagine leaving my 2 day old baby (as in, not being like at max a few rooms away for a shower or a nap.)  From the other details of the story though, it sounds like they have a lot of other crap on their plates right now.  Even though you are wishing for another child of your own, be thankful you are not bringing a child into the world under their circumstances.  Seriously, how lucky are you that they trust you enough to leave their 2 day old with YOU?!  That's pretty sweet.  Also, how lucky is that baby boy to have an Aunt like you, to love him, and snuggle him, and watch out him from the start?  Is this story crazy in my opinion?  Yes!! But it's also awesome they have family like you to be there for them and help them through this tough time and transition to parenthood.  😀

Answer

Leaving a two day old baby for two hours? Not really a huge deal imo. I could easily nap that long or longer after giving birth while someone keeps an eye on the little one.

But if you aren't comfortable with watching the baby, just say so.

Answer

Yeah, I agree that I don't really see the big deal about leaving the baby with you for two hours.. I feel like you may just be jealous, which is nothing to be ashamed of (I really mean that politely) just do t take it out in them.

Answer

I'm a nanny, and the family I work for just had a baby. She's only 3 weeks old. But, even the day they brought her home, they left me with her for a couple of hours while they got situated and whatnot. I don't see a problem with it. If it's someone you know and trust.

Answer

I think ur just overreacting a bit & I agree with the other posts sounds like ur just jelous  
Which doesn't mean ur a bad person. I myself wouldn't want to leave my newborn baby that long either only if I had to go to the store

Answer

It was only 2 hours.

Answer

I would never leave my new born baby. My daughter didn't go anywhere until she was 6 weeks old and I took her to my parents house so I could go to my 6 week check up then I went straight back and got her and I was 18 years old.

Answer

Did they leave the baby for something weird or just to have a couple hours of recouperation?

Answer

Personally, I wouldn't leave my 2 day old baby w anyone for any amount of time I'm too paranoid

Answer

I totally get where you're coming from and I don't think it's just jealousy like these other ladies. I'm sure it's everything combined not just them leaving for 2 hours. I have a sister who TOTALLY parents differently than I do and often leaves her daughter with any friend and I can't imagine doing that, among other things. It's hard when all you want to do or all you do, do is try your hardest to be a good parent and you work your ass off and you see other people kinda acting like it's no big deal.
