Firstly I would like to say that I would never put my child in a situation that would obviously be dangerous.

That being said my partner and I are going to look at a new apartment tomorrow. Normally we would just have my mom watch her but she has plans this weekend so my partner mentioned having his sister watch her. Here’s the issue I have with this. His sister has a weird relationship with his siblings. They are always talking about how horrible and selfish she is. I have met her multiple times though but I honestly don’t have much of a relationship with her. He is one of five and she is the one I interact with the least. So that’s where my worry comes in. I have seen the arguments his siblings get into but me being a only child I don’t really know what is normal or not. He swears that she would never do harm to our baby but as a new mom to say I’m overprotective would be a understatement. We would take her with us but with COVID and her health issues my partner doesn’t want to risk it.

I guess my question is that I was thinking about putting up a nanny cam so I can check in and see my baby while I’m away ( I get really bad separation anxiety when we are apart). Should I tell his sister or should I just put it in plain sight but not say anything.

What it comes down to is I honestly don’t trust anyone with my child. Unfortunately with my past career path and the things I’ve seen/experienced, nothing really surprises me anymore. People are capable of doing anything and it’s my job as a mom to protect our daughter but I also don’t want to break trust or make anyone feel uncomfortable/violated. Your opinions would be greatly appreciated! Sorry if anything is confusing though.
