Am I wrong?

I took DD to my mom's today, so that I can finally get some off time to go to walmart. I get to there and guess who I see, my mom with DD barely even strapped into the cart. I went up and said hey, fixed the strap, and kindly told my mom that she needs to start informing me if she is going to take the baby out. She automatically got pissed and said that she couldn't understand why and that she never would have expected someone to inform her if they were going to take me out when I was an infant.I will admit that I automatically got pissed back and told her that it was my child and that if I want to know where she's taking my baby, that she should follow that rule. She ended up just walking off and it took almost everything I had to not go and get the baby and just take her home.

It really is that big of a deal that she took her to Walmart, just that she didn't tell me that she was going. We've been through this before and she still can't seem to understand that I would like to know where exactly my child is. Am I just overreacting or she is she simply being stubborn?

ur over reacting...When i give my kids to my mom i really dont care what happens i need that break so if she needs to take them with her will then so be it...

If something happens i will get a call she knows how to get a hold of me.

I would be mad/annoyed if my mom did that to me.

Well if you leave your child with your mom then obviously you trust her. IMO your overreacting, of course every mother wants to know where her child is but i don't see the big deal especially if she just took her to walmart.

You are over reacting. If my mom is watching my son I wouldn't care that she had him out at walmart and didn't tell me. My mom takes DS a lot of places when she's watching him and I'm at work. I wouldn't want her calling me 20 times saying "we're going running to town again"

If you trust your mom to watch your baby, then you should trust her to take her out. I think you're over reacting.

I see both points of view.

Your LOs mom and you should know where your LO is at all times

However your mom is just being a grandma and doing her thing with your LO

I think you need to realize that you have to let go of the leash, and be ok if your mom needs to take your DD off somewhere.
It's not that big of a deal, maybe out of town I could understand, but walmart?

Meh, I don't think it's as big of a deal as you're making it to be, but I would like to know if my parents took LO somewhere while babysitting, just in case, you know? I mean, she could get in a car wreck and you never even know because you thought they were at home.
I'd just explain to her that you worry about both of them and want to make sure that they're okay, and ask her very nicely to just send you a text when they're going out or a quick call and you'd appreciate it a lot.

You're overreacting.

And I don't really understand why you can't take your daughter to the store. Unless you just worded it oddly and mean that you took time out for yourself to go to Walmart.

I would want to know where my kid was no matter who had him.

I've left my kids with my mom and aunt before and seen pixs of them on fb at disneyland lol

When they get my kids they refuse to tell me what their up to, they tell me specifically to *butt out*

When they do call me or get a hold of me its only if the kids get sick or something like that, if we need to meet at urgent care or whatever... other than that that's their time with them, I trust them completely, they raised me they would never do anything to hurt my kids, so I have nothingg to worry about...

I'd be upset if someone took my little one somewhere without telling me/asking me first. I can understand if she needed to run out and grab something really quick, but she should have at least called you. I have certain relatives who I would NEVER allow to take my kids anywhere, because they're terrible drivers even if I'd trust them to watch my kids at home.

Quoting Dahling:" I'd be upset if someone took my little one somewhere without telling me/asking me first. I can understand ... [snip!] ... I would NEVER allow to take my kids anywhere, because they're terrible drivers even if I'd trust them to watch my kids at home."

If I didn't trust someone to drive, I wouldn't allow them to watch my kids. What if there's an emergency and they need to drive some where?
