So mad about SIL Tell me if i 'm right or wrong
My sister inlaw wants take DD to babysit her when we go to a wedding.
I already asked my mom and she said yes.
Plus the wedding is around the time she goes to bed so she will be going down to sleep.
So i told her she could watch her at my mom house cause all of her stuff is there.
So she e-mail me that she wants to pack a diaper bag and take her to her house that is an hour away. To bond with her.
Now all of sudden she wants to bond with her. She didn't come see her when she was born. But when i come to ny she want to bond with her.
I don't trust her with my DD in the car etc. I don't know why but i just a werid feeling.
Should i let her take her or no.
She is waiting for an e-mail back from me.
What should i say etc.

Ummm... bond with her? She can bond at your mom's. That is where YOU feel the most comfortable. End of story

Re: So mad about SIL Tell me if i 'm right or wrong
Personally I would tell her NO. Only because all your stuff is at your Mom's already and plus she is an hour away! You are probaby going to come home late from the wedding then you have to drive to go pick up DD. It sounds like an inconvience. If she would like to "bond" with DD tell her to come by on a weekend and spend the day.
Good LUCK!

Re: So mad about SIL Tell me if i 'm right or wrong
I'm going to be honest...my opinion:
no...keep her at your mom's house and let your SIL know that you can all set up a separate date and time for her to spend time with baby.
1 - you mentioned it was her bedtime - I try to preserve the schedule and routines at all costs. She'll end up being overstimulated
2 - I'm sure that your mom will be a little heart broken to have to hand her over (I'm sure that she misses her as well)
3 - I always say a mother's instincts are never to be messed with - go with your gut

You want your child near by. That's that. If she wants to bond tell her to do it at your Moms house.

I agree with this. I would set time on your next trip for her to spend time with dd.

I agree.
I also agree with what another poster said, follow your gut. I don't know if I have EVER had anyone else drive my DD, ok my mom once but even then I was nervous! And if she was really concerned about bonding, she would want your DD to be where she was comfortable, I know my DD is always at her most playful/accepting of strangers if she's in a familiar place!

Re: So mad about SIL Tell me if i 'm right or wrong
Can she come to your house to watch the baby? Or maybe your mom could leave for a little bit, so she doesnt feel weird (if you feel comfortable leaving her alone). But if you dont, I would say no, sorry, my mom is already booked for it. Remember, no one else matters but the safety of your cihld!!
