Emma.. oh i so hear you hun!! When Jesse was born, EVERY time i saw MIL (which back then was about twice a week) id get, just let me know when you want me to babysit.. or she'd say to someone else in the room im waiting for Kelly to call me over to babysit. Seriously, literally every time we saw her. That went on for months and drove me insain! (secondly because if my MIL was the last person in the world, i still wouldnt leave Jesse with her out of choice). She still says it ever now and then but i still have not left him with anyone other than DH.

Just say thanks for the offer and do whats best for you. Youre not going to enjoy yourself if you go and have some time to yourself if youre not comfortable leaving bubs so it will be a waist of time
