It is really really difficult for me to be away from my baby for one night. I miss he very much, maybe unhealthy so. When he was first born, I didnt want him to stay with anyone.I think he was about 4 months before I would "allow" him to stay away from me for a night. I just feel that noone can take care of him like I can. My husband got made at me one day and said he shouldnt have to ask me if my son can visit his grandparents for the night because it wasnt my decision. I would get upset but no longer say anything when he went for the night. This weekend, my mother in law calls my husband up and asks if she can keep him 2 nights. I said "that really isnt my decision as you have so clearly pointed out before" Knowing how I feel about this, he could have told her that one night was fine but we wanted him back the next day but instead he told her that she could keep him 2 nights. Keep in mind my in laws are in their late 60's. my mother in law cant hear, she constantly trips, she loses her balance, he reaction time is slow, and when she feeds my baby, she just constantly shoves food in his mouth without waiting for him to swallow what is already in his mouth. my father in law has these passing out spells where he blacks out for a period of time without warning, he is loud and makes my son jump everytime he talks. I dont know, maybe I am noticing too much but am I so wrong for wanting the safety of my son?? Not to mention, he doesnt feel good and he is cutting top teeth, he wanted to lay down with me pretty much all day yesterday and didnt care much about playing. Its not fair to him when he doesnt feel good to let him go away from home and his mom (me). Its not like he has a say so in the matter since he cannot talk yet. I pretty much cried all day when my mother in law came and got my son. I will not see my son until sunday morning (late morning) by then I will probably be sleeping because I work a double shift on Saturday night. ......So upset and missing my son. :(
