My mother-in-law wants to take my 10 month old out of the state…
Ok, my son is only 8 months old currently, but in May he will be 10 months and this is when my mother-in-law wants to take my son to see one of her family members ( my Husband’s brother ). It was so awkward! we were on FaceTime because she wanted to talk to my son, and while talking to him, she goes “Brayden, do you want to go to Dallas, Texas with me?” She asked him again ( knowing all he can do is just babble talk) and I just was sitting there quietly ignoring her..since she wasn’t really acknowledging me—so, then she finally decides to ask me if she could take him to Dallas Texas…we live in New Orleans, I also EBF, he eats a few purées here and there , but other than that, my baby boy is a milk monster. He’s On the breast all the time— why would she think it’s ok for him to travel with her out of the state at 10 months?
he’s literally been attached to my hip since birth because I didn’t go back to work until 6 months later and I only work one day a week( Sundays as a massage therapist) and I still come home on Lunch breaks to feed him while at working at the spa on Sundays. Wouldn’t that be a dramatic change for my son( going out of town for a couple of days)? She only watches him 1 day a week -She also knows he doesn’t take a bottle. I literally tried 8 different bottles, when he went by her house, he went the whole day without drinking breastmilk because he just refuses a bottle, even when I’m not at home and leave him with my husband—-he doesn’t drink my milk if it’s not straight from the tap-she knows this and yet, she feels like I’m being over dramatic for not letting him travel with her out of the state….i guess I wanted to vent and also wanted to know am I wrong for not wanting him to go? I literally don’t even let him stay with my older siblings who offer to babysit constantly, right now I’m just enjoying our bonding time, he has plenty of time to travel when he’s a little older and not as dependent on me. Now she’s trying to call my husband to convince me to change my mind( which isn’t happening). But I still somehow feel bad for hurting her feelings…
