re: MIL *rant* ugggh! how would you handle it?

Quoting BlueTeamXTwo:" I would tell her that you LOVE how enthusiastic of a grandmother she is and you think it's amazing how ... [snip!] ... or two in a few months? I didn't go out without my first LO until he was 9 months and that was to a movie. And I ran back."

good advice!  

I'm the same way and Peyton's almost a year old the only time he was away from me overnight was because he had to be because I was in the hospital. Other than that he's with me every night. It's fine to let her watch him or take him out, but I still don't do that a lot either! I want to be around my baby all the time, yes I need breaks sometimes but I'd rather have him with me. I just feel better when he's with me and I know what he's doing, how he's doing, etc. I use the co-sleeping excuse a lot, that he co-sleeps and needs Mommy at night. We live with MIL right now and she wanted to take him into her room to sleep one night and realized that wouldn't work cuz he wanted me!
