advice pls ! (a bit long)

Laquanza • 23, 3 year old daughter ♥️ Aries girl. Looking to meet new mama’s.

I moved to Florida and moved in with my boyfriend and his mother. (That wasn’t initially the plan but that’s how things turned out) I left my 3 year old daughter behind with my mother so that i could get things situated before she got here and she wouldn’t have to see me struggle or have to go through the struggle with me. My plan was to have her stay with my mother for about 4-5 months and I return and get her because everything should be situated by then right?

She ended up only staying with my mother for 2 months because I found out that her grandparents ( on her father’s side ) where trying to plot to get her taken away from me before I got back. Now here is a little back story to that situation, Her father was taken away from us last year due to him being murdered. NOW her grandparents feel that they have a right to dictate my life and stop me from living ...

Now that i’m about 5 months pregnant things haven’t been the best. I wasn’t able to accept many job offers that I got because she came so soon which led to me not working now and not being able to work for the rest of my pregnancy so money is very low. I’m struggling to feed us, and also it’s always bickering between my boyfriend and his mother about chloe and i having space in the house. (which we barely have any of) I am frustrated because it’s one thing for me to go through hard times but i hate that she has to go through them with me.

I recently talked to my mother about how i was feeling and what i was going through and she told me that she will gladly take my baby again for a few more months, while i finish out my pregnancy and have my new baby. I’m stuck because I know when she wasn’t with me the 1st time i was crying so much and so upset & i know i will probably be the exact same way. I just don’t know what to do. I want to keep my baby with me because she’s mine, she’s my responsibility and i should be the one taking care of her, I feel like a horrible mom pushing her off to my mother. But on the other hand i hate what we are going through here, I hate that she is confined to basically one area in the house she can’t really play like she should, she doesn’t eat like she should. I just don’t want her going through this. This definitely wasn’t the plan. Does anyone have any kind of advice about what I should do? Should i let my baby stay with my mother for a little while or should I stick it out with her by my side every step of the way?
