Big fat MIL vent
AGHGGGGGGGHHHHH!! THIS IS HOW I FEEL RIGHT NOW!! I NEVER GET MAD ENOUGH TO DO ALL CAPS!!!!
My MIL is watching Hunter for 2-2.5 hours when she gets done with work every day until I get done. He doesn't nap well at daycare yet, and she is also watching him during his typical 'big nap' time. I have told her numerous times to let him nap/not wake him up/try to get him to nap.
Today I walk in to get him and she goes "Uh oh, Mommy's going to be mad at me Hunter...I took you to my work and played with you all afternoon. You are just too cute to let nap!"
W.T.F. Now I literally get 45 minutes a day of awake time with my kid. I would get 3 hours if she would LET HIM NAP FOR A LITTLE BIT.
But no. I guess I will see him on the weekends.
Sorry. I needed to let it out. I am hoping the novelty of watching the grandbaby wears off soon so that she will let my poor overtired infant SLEEP WHEN HE IS TIRED.

Boo! Grandma! You should know better!
(Although, he is pretty irresistable.)
I tried to explain this to her....I didn't even put him on a damn schedule, the kid put himself on one and he does awesome. Oh well, please just wear off.
And Aria, I agreee he's sooo irresistible....which is why I want to the one that gets to play with him at night.
Oh Rachel, that sucks. I'm in kind of the same boat with Bebe and its torture! I live all day for the few hours I get with her . . . it would kill me to have someone mess with my baby time!
Lets hope the newness wears off quickly and things settle down for you!
Thats really crappy of her to do. She should know better!
My sister is dealing with this as well. Her MIL watches her DD 2-3 hours 2-3 times a week. DD is only 8 months but is getting to the point that she is annoyed with the gma because she is always kissing her. My sister said DD actually pulls away from the gma because she doesnt want to be kissed.
But yeah, she also doesnt let her sleep. And if she comes over to my sisters house and the baby is sleeping, she will purposely be loud to wake the baby up so she can play with her.
