I went away in the weekend and baby came with BD and I (and also his mother and sister). Bd and his sister were going fishing and I wanted to go to but was a bit unsure of leaving baby as I had never left her with anyone before (is that normal?) Anyway I decided to go fishing and left her with granny (his mother). We were gone for a couple of hours but when we got back granny was outside in the garage and when she saw me she ran back inside. I knew she was running back to baby so it looked like she hadn't left her. This got me worried and I quickly went to my daughter and found granny sitting with her like she hadn't left her side. My daughter was left in her bouncer outside in the shade, stuck on a table with no pants on and her blanket kicked off. I was really annoyed with this as I trusted his mother to look after my baby and although she was quietly sitting in her bouncer and nothing seemed to be upsetting her I hated the fact she was left all alone on the other side of the house. I am now very adament that granny is not to be left alone with her. But am I just over-reacting?
maybe just me but bouncy seats and things of such sort i use to put jayden in so i could leave him for a sec if i needed to and he would be safe. maybe she was just getting something from garage. but if you dont feel comfortble leaving her with her then do whats your instinct is.
was the baby left alone, on the table in a bouncer?
personally, i would be pretty pissed off....Especially because I trusted my baby with someone, and they left my infant alone, outsides, on a table in a bouncer....(especially when theres about 50 warnings all over these chairs saying to keep them on the ground)
I really dont think you are over-reacting.....because you trusted someone to keep your baby safe, and they didnt live up to that promise.
My bouncy seat actually said it could be put on surfaces, so long as it was X amount of inches from the edge. It still doesn't seem perfect, but it is allowed apparently.
I guess it all does depend on the circumstances. If she was running to grab something, maybe that just wasn't a good idea. If she was cleaning out the garage or something, then she definitely shouldn't have left the baby out there.
If you could sit down and talk to her about it (if that wouldn't make you uncomfortable), I would. Just because sometimes it's really nice to find someone you can depend on to keep an eye on the babe for a little while. But if you don't think she would take your concerns seriously, then why should you let her watch your kid?
putting something that bounces on a table seems really dangerous. Did you talk to her about it?
Just to clear it up she was actually out in the garage working not just getting something. It was the first time I had left baby with someone and I don't like the idea now. I have had problems with her before though. When we went away about a month ago her and her daughter took my baby from me and left the house and didnt say a word at all to me not even a hey we are taking baby with us or can we take her with us. I was extremely angry at this and ended up crying on the phone to my friend. The sisters boyfriend told her I had a problem with her just taking my baby (she constantly just takes her off me) and so she came and apologised but the mother thought I was just being stupid about it all. BD kept a hole of baby for the rest of that day because he knew they wouldnt take her off him. I just feel like his mother, although she loves having a grandchild (this is the first for her) isn't responsible enough to look after my daughter. I can understand her leaving her in her bounvy if it was somewhere near where she was working because I have her in her bouncy in my lounge when I am doing the dishes so I can still see her. I just don't know how I am supposed to trust her with my baby. I know if it was my mum I wouldnt be having this problem because my mother watches her properly and she also knows you have to have baby upright when giving her a bottle whereas BD's mother doesnt so she lays her flat and I have said she needs to be upright otherwise she will get an ear infection but she doesnt listen and she wont even let me give my daughter her bottle. I have lots of issues with her.
Haha my daughter just farted and it stinks so I had better go change her bum.
hole sound be hold
what do you mean, she won't even let you give your daughter her bottle? What does she do? Run and grab the bottle out of your hand? Wow, if that's the case, I wouldn't trust her. If she does things like that, maybe she has control issues. But at the end of the day, your baby is your baby. If you try talking to her and she doesn't respect how you feel, don't trust her. Has your BD spoken to her on your behalf? I know that must be tough for him because she's still his mom.
She will get up and say I'll feed her or she will take baby while I get the bottle ready and then she will be like oh here I will give it to her. She thinks that I get to see baby all day everyday so I don't have any need to see/be with her. And if baby is asleep their family will prod her till she wakes which really irritates me. Um BD has sort of spoken to her. He wasn't there the other day when she left baby. He has said to me to just tell her to back off if I felt it necessary.
I think maybe you should just tell her to back off. I know you probably don't want to be rude, but being nice isn't worth risking an ear infection. Because if your daughter does get one, not only will she be in pain, but you'll have to take care of her, not her g-mom. BDs mothers can be such a pain. My baby is not even born yet, and my BDs mom gets on my nerves. Even if you do spend 24/7 with your baby, that would make you that much more knowledgeable on how she is best cared for. I think that in-laws or w/e need to take a step back and realize that you're not saying anything to be mean or rude, it's just you know what is best for your baby.
