MIL wants to babysit all three grandchildren at one time. Nieces are 3 years old, 5 months and my LO is 10 weeks. She babysits both nieces 5 days a week and has one or both several weekends a month. I appreciate her offer but I want my LO to be the only one she babysits on one particular occasion. I don't feel comfortable with her watching all three kids. DH feels like she owes us babysitting time but last time I scheduled a night for her to babysit (for our anniversary) she took 3 year old niece (last minute) for the night and it pissed me off. I scheduled this 2 months in advance and you had to have ANOTHER sleepover with niece which was her 2nd that week. We cancelled bc I can't trust niece with my LO as she tried to hit her previously and I need to monitor them together. It's very annoying bc I have a mom and 4 sisters who love to babysit my LO so why should she be with two other kids when she can have one on one attention from my family?! Am I wrong to want my NEWBORN to have your full attention? I'm gonna just explain it to her that way so she stops asking me.
