Grandma wants to be live in nanny... Rant, plz help!!!!
Tell me if I am wrong for feeling this way... I'm 25 weeks right now with my first baby. Hubby and I didn't plan this but we are very excited!!!! Well my hubby's grandmother is wanting to be a live in nanny to help us with our baby girl and so that we can continue working and she can work as well... To her it's a win-win however upon thinking about it for a few days and being honest with myself, I realize that I cannot live with another person in my home besides by hubby and our baby girl. Becoming a mother for the first time is overwhelming- I cannot imagine having his grandmother moving into our apartment with us as well robbing my privacy and peace. My home is my sanctuary and I'm very introverted- I need my space in order to be happy and mentally healthy. Also, she is quite difficult to deal with, I don't imagine her listening to our wishes when it comes to our daughter, and I can already imagine the mess that will be in my home with all of my stuff, hubby's stuff, baby's stuff and her stuff. I would feel like my home is not home anymore, I know it. Hubby seems optimistic about the idea of her coming... Even though we would pay her every week, we would be saving money with her care, however honestly, I'll make ANY sacrifice for my baby girl except for this. I'd rather be a SAHM or pay more and have my baby cared by someone else that would NOT be living with us. I just don't know if my bf will accept or respect my feelings about this and how he will feel when I suggest we have someone instead of his grandma caring for he baby... Am I just being selfish?
