End of maternity leave

Hilary

The end of my maternity leave is coming up in a few weeks and I could not be dreading going back to work more. I wish so much that I could be a stay at home mom, but unfortunately it just isn't doable for us financially. My husband and I are extremely lucky to have both sets of our parents close by and willing to watch the baby while we are at work. I am so thankful that we have them, but at the same time I feel possessive over my baby and can barely stand the thought of anyone besides my husband or I watching her. I know it is completely irrational, but I cannot help how I feel and I almost feel like my MIL is excited for me to go back to work so that she will have the baby all to herself. Does anyone else have similar feelings? I'm hoping once we get into the new routine I can get over my feelings, but for now I'm dreading every day closer to the end of my leave :(
