does the fear disappear???

[PinkPalace]

MIL has asked to take DD out tonight for a few hours to see the christmas lights

i have butterflies in my tummy of nervousness.
She hasnt really gone with out me anywhere , especially someone else driving her in their car.

I know it sounds very stupid but i am a lioness with my children!!!

will the fear of leaving them with other people (outside my home) subside?

For me it started when DD1 was 5 months old and i went back to work 2 days a week so she was in FDC.
The fear went after about 2 weeks....now i never hesitate leaving either of them with people i know!

I still get a bit iffy and nervous when DS1 goes with family members even for short periods. He didn't start going with them without me or DP until he was like 3.

Sorry I can't help any.

i think once she goes out with MIL a few times and u see she comes back safe it will get better.

My DD2 who is a similar age to yours has never been anywhere with anyone except for DH or myself, and I can completely understand your reservations. DD1 went out without DH or myself for the first time in about September.

If you're a lioness, then I guess I am too.

DD1 goes to Kindy and DD2 does one day in care. I trust them more than my MIL.

I think that mine stems from the fact that we moved interstate when DD1 was about 5 mths old, and I never had any friends or family to help. It was just her and I for so long that I just didn't have anyone. It's only just now that I have made good enough friends to trust them to take my baby.

The adult I let her out with was a gf and her daughter (they go to Kindy together) and was fine, but to be honest I would still have reservations letting her go with my MIL.
