My son 2 months goes to his grandparents every weekend. Why do i feel like a bad mom.?? Trust me!! If they werent so freaking obbsessive about it he would be with me 24/7 but i started back working after 6 weeks and i just feel as if he wont know or love me as much? Thoughts?

    Dont! I completely understand where you are coming from, my mom "steals" my son every friday for a sleep over and has been doing so since he was ten months old. I felt the same way. But they are super close and I get some me time. I make it a point to do things with him that are just mommy and him time, and my mom him and I do things together too. I think of the old saying "it takes a village" and im just grateful my mom wants to be such an active role in his life. One more person he can talk to as he gets older who he has spent time with and trusts...

    for how long? its cause your baby is so new.. mabey cut the time down. cause if your working all wk and then babies gone all wkend. that gives you alot of time to think about it.. your not a bad mom though.. i think all moms go through guilt for some reason or another.. its part of being a mom.. that just means you care :X mabey just shorten the time babys gone.. and you might feel better

    Im afraid since i work 10hrs a day that my son will love my mom more because she baby sits him.. she is practically going to raise him..it makes me wanna cry but i dont have a choice...

    keep ur head up! You are working and providing for your baby! My son and my mom are very close, but he also knows how much I love him too. It makes the time we do have together so much more special! And it was temporary, once I was able to get on my feet and become more stable the time scaled back. My oldest son is 7 yrs old now and we are super close (he still has fri sleep overs but now its a privilage he works towards each week). you are creating a successful future for you and your child! And you have a strong support system that loves you and your baby. It will get better. >:D<

    :) makes me feel a lot better. My husbands mom is getting him tonight at 8 and i am picking him up after 10 tomorrow night. Id much rather him just spend tomorrow but if i change plans she gets all butt hurt. So little ole me is trying to please everyone. But i just feel bad cause he is only 2 months old. And 5 days out of the week i work 8-9 hours shifts but then i cuddle and love on him the rest of the day.

    Thats hard. I have had a bit of push back. but you have to do whats best for you. Just explain to you mother in law that you miss him too! It will take some time for everyone to adjust but eventually everyone will realize their roles. its ok to consider everyone elses feelings but ultimately you are still mom!
