Interfering inlaws!

Ladies and gents I need your help!

The only way I can describe how I feel at the minute is:

When you get into a new relationship and your other half is taking is rushing ahead and taking long strides while you want to take baby steps..

So if you understood that, you’ll know that these inlaws are doing some things that I’m slightly nervous about!

My baby girl is 1 week old!

This is my first child and I’m very anxious about letting anyone but my own mother take care of her. - as any new parent would be.

They have built her a nursery to stay in when she’s with them - in the future

They’ve brought a bath and changing mat and the other essentials a ‘Parent’ in my eyes would need.

They have asked if they can look after her once/twice a week. EVEN with me being on maternity.

Now I know this sounds wonderful that they are so helpful and wanting to do everything possible. But I feel as though they are trying to take over.

It’s making me more anxious to let them look after her because they are rushing a head before me.

Can anyone help me calm my anxiety down with this as I don’t want it to strain my relationship with my partner, his parents or our little girls relationship with them?

Did anyone else feel the way I do?
