Tell me why..?
Answers:
I have a 2year old and am currently 6months pregnant. I let family and very close friends baby sit for my daughter. Some more times than others and some never again. Even though they are family as a mother you always(I do anyway) seem to get a vibe, a feeling about how that person deals with the situation. With some people I have no concerns or worries about leaving my daughter with them and with others they have looked after her once and never again. Its strange to say but if you don't trust someone then it doesn't matter who they, family or not, It takes a lot for a mother to leave her child in the first place and if you can't or don't trust the person all you do is worry the whole time your apart from your child so it make the time apart a mission and not a time of relaxation. Hope this helps.xx
i would!
Cos she live 300 miles away THANK GOD!!
Because i'm unmarried without children
Why is there a problem with her babysitting?
I would too.
I know some women who are funny about it - they don't think their partner's mum would be as good at it as their own mum. Sort of understandable that women trust their own mums the most, but at the same time, their mother-in-law brought up their own children, one of whom they have just had a baby with, so if they think he's okay, then a lot of it's probably down to his mum.
Thats so funny! Its a mother-in-law thing, not a lot of people like there mother-in-laws we'd much rather leave it with a member of our own family like our own mother or sis. (it makes it worse when they try to tell you how to bring your child up!)
well. i down right FORBID my mother-in-law to even see my children when my youngest child was 18 months old, we were in a bad accident (baby and myself) and my daughter was flown to a hospital about 60 miles away. my mother took care of my other children so i could stay with the baby in the hospital. my mother-in-law offered to come to the house and help us the day our daughter came home. WELL, the day we were bringing our daughter home my mother-in-law never showed up. One of her daughters (my sister-in-law) showed up later to see how we were doing and said her mother (my mother-in-law) didn't come because she was invited to PICK BEANS with her other daughter & granddaughters. THEN my mother-in-law didn't even have the decency to call until TWO WEEKS after we came home. WELL, by that time i had decided that my "mother-in-law" didn't care if my daughter lived or died. she didn't show any respect for such a fragile life. my daughter couldn't walk for months. it was the most horrifying thing i have ever experienced and i was let down in a big way by my mother-in-law. AM I WRONG to keep my children from her? I DON'T THINK SO!
Mine's ok actually..sorry to go against the tide!
If she didn't agree with my beliefs, morals, forms of discipline and boundaries. Children need consistency.
Cause I hate her and her husband. Cause they live 12 hours away by plane. Because I'd not trust her to be around my kids and talk decently about me. Not to mention the fact that she doesn't like to listen. I haven't seen her in 4 years and i LIKE it that way!
i'd love her to
she lives on the other side of the world tho :(
i would be uncomfortable with that her cause her idea of parenting is v different from mine i only trust my mum dad sister and brother cause they would do as i ask not what they think is best
My Mother in law has had my kids for a week at a time.
She lives on a farm 220 miles away.
My lil girls nan on her dads side ( me and him have never been married and are not together.thank god ) is very very good to my kid..
I am lucky, I suppose her dad and all his family give alot of time and energy to her.
I would let her babysit my little girl.
because i dont have one thank god xx
Well, for one she lives in the states and we live in Japan. Even if we did live near her I wouldn't have her babysit because she is battling lung cancer. She doesn't need the added stress of watching my kids.
Never say never! you never know when that big night out with your friends will come along. And you got no one else!! God forbid ha ha
i do let her, she is the best babysitter and mother in law in the world, and i would not change a thing about her! nothing is ever too much of a problem for her!
My mother-in-law babysits my 3 year old twin daughters every Monday. She has done this since they were babies and I had to return to work. They love going there. She has had them over night on many occasions. She has them from 9am and she always gives them their supper and baths them before they come home at 8pm. Their daddy brings them home in their PJ's and we put them straight into be. I'm grateful for all the help and support my family and friends give me.
Because my mother-in-law is probably the most evil person I've ever met in my life. She was an absolute terror as a mother to her own children (all of her children, as well as her brothers and sisters, have disowned her) and I wouldn't want my children exposed to this woman's craziness. I wish I had a great mother-in-law but I don't. However, if she were a good person, I'd let her watch my children.
I love for my mother in law to babysit.
We don't always get along but she would never hurt any of her grandchildren.
unfortunatly my mother in law wud love to but she has ms and is rly weak.lads enjoy it cuz if it cudn happen its so sad ta c!
