Brief background: we have cameras in our house in the playroom, kitchen & living room.

This past weekend my husbands aunt was watching our kiddo and we had just changed her daily schedule (naps, bedtime, etc) so around 830p while I was at work I pulled the camera app up to see how she was doing with the new schedule and saw that my husbands aunt had put her to bed almost 45 minutes early and I could hear her SCREAMING on the monitor. Not just crying or whining before bed, but upset screaming because she wasn’t ready to go to bed yet. So I texted my Hubby to let him know, he talked to his aunt and explained to her that since we moved her nap to a later time in the day, it’s important that she not bed put to bed too early. And she got all offended and said she “didn’t like being watched” and basically demanded that we turn the cameras off when she’s here watching out daughter.

My husband didn’t see an issue with it but I cannot believe this woman would make such demands about how we run our house and basically tell me I don’t have a right to check in on my baby whenever I feel like it because she felt uncomfortable “being watched”. And just for the record, I’m a nurse and don’t have time to sit around at work and constantly watch her. I literally check in right around bedtime just to see her bride she goes to sleep.

Soooo, am I overreacting? Am I the asshole for wanting to keep my cameras on?
