Totally get what your saying.

With my first I was extremly proud and never comfortable with anyone wanting to take him 'away' from me. Although in saying that I didnt have anyone offer to look after him for me so the choice was taken away. I was extremely stressed when pg with son number 2 and stress took its toll.

It saddens me to think that my children have missed out on the early bonding with their grandparents and extrended family as I grew up with neither. I have tried my darnest to do the best I can and it just stressed me no end.

Honestly, be thankfull that your mother is taking so much interest in you DS and your welfare. Although you say that you dont need the 'break' away from DS, a slight 'break' even for an hour is heaven sent and doesnt mean you'll be bad mother for admitting that it was nice and well deserved.

Motherhood is a wonderful journey shared hon. Quiet obviously your doing a wonderful job cause others can see what a fabulous little person you have created and want a little piece of him. well done
