Hi all im new here and in desperate need of help,
I have asked my mother for a favor to babysit my daughter for 1 week who is 1 right now but by july will be 17 months old, which is when I need her to do this as my husband and I have our 10 year anniversary that just past and we'd like to go out campping we are so deprived on that part of our lives as far as going out.
She seems to always say to me when I ask her to babysit longer then just running out for a few hours ,,,I dont know if i can handle the stress,,Im not suppose to undergo continual stress and what if it affects my heart and blood pressure.
she always seems to lean to her medical cond. when it comes to babysitting for a period of time.
She periodically drinks like 2 weeks ago she drank until 4:30am in the morning she still eats certain things that are no good for people with heart cond. ie. (eggs) Should I consider her feelings or is she useing her condition to her benefits?
I almost feel guilty to think i will stand up and say something oof what im thinking but on the other hand she is totally contradicting herself by doing these other things.
Like i feel she is saying this just because she cant be bothered to be tied down for that amount of time with a child and have the responsibility,
She is almost done her teething to my daughter so that WILL NOT be a factor where she is overly cranky and she also is a very happy girl my mother has said so herself somedays she goes without crying at all. Believe it or not!
"I NEED ADVICE PLEASE"
Thanks Twinkler

How about not asking her to babysit anymore, will that work for you?

This is just a random thought, but I'd feel a little uncomfortable leaving one of my children with someone who considered them a tedious chore. I would be afraid they might not pay them the attention they should.
