Spring Momma 🐞🐝💐🌿 • 31| Married 💍 SAHM of two 👧🏻💕 👶🏻💙

So I’m 17 weeks pregnant and I️ have a two year old that since she was months old my mom has always asked about taking her for the day(s) so she can bond with her grand baby, I’m all for bonding but she always wants to take her far from me that 3 hours away or to another city 6 hours away from me. I don’t understand why, I️Ts not that I️ don’t trust my mom it’s just that I’ve never been away from my daughter for more than a day and vise versa. I’ve tried explaining to my mom about taking little steps taking my daughter for a few hours at first and easing into it. I️ get anxious thinking about my hospital stay when I️ give birth and being away from my daughter and how she’ll cope. My daughter is super social by the way not clingy at all but after a while not being around mommy or daddy she starts crying, she loves being with her grandparents but nothing I️ recommend to ease both of us into not being around each other is never enough for my mom. I️ don’t remember staying with my grandparents four hours away until my sisters and I️ were in our preteen years.

I️ don’t telling my mom that the trips she wants to take my daughter along on are too far because I’m always hurting her feelings but that the same time I feel I️ have to go with my mommy sense.
