Paranoid parent

When my daughter gets here in about 2 months I don't want her out of my site I don't want anyone changing her unless its my mom or sister NO BOYS are allowed to change her No one to watch her unless it's my mom or sister I'm not going to be too trusting with anyone with my daughter not even her dad if he was around My baby is my most prized possession and I'm going to do everything I can to keep anyone from hurting her especially as an infant.. NO DAYCARE until she can talk. To many people trust too many people with their kids... I can't!!!

Ive never been apart from my youngest whose 2 now, and only a couple times with my 4 and 5 year old.  Its not me thats paranoid, I mean I am a little, but nothing like my husband who doesnt trust anyone with our kids, not even our parents.  The longest I've been away has been to give birth, amd my husband always left to be with our kids soon after the next one was born so they've never been with anyone but us for very long.

That little kid is bad smh... but yeah I mean I just don't feel comfortable with anyonr except my mom and sister with my daughter Im very cautious and think anyone can do anything to hurt her my mom raised me and Im fine she is very lenient now she barely disciplines my little brother and he is 15 my sister she's too goofy to hurt a kid you laugh when she tries to discipline a baby they treat my nephew like gold so not worried about my mom and sister so much

well certain people like doctors would have to see your baby, but besides that i dont want people i dont know watching my baby even certain people i do know some of the people in my family dont know how to raise there children and then they dont watch them if you get the drift ( one of the 6 year olds refuses to listen and last time they were over at my house for my baby shower i made his mom and him leave he came up to me and said he didnt want me to have this baby cause no one wants it hes even hit me in the stomach while i was sleeping i dont trust him hes really devious to me

I'm going to trust my boyfriend with our baby.. Even if its a girl. But no other males are to change my babies diapers either. And no daycare! I've heard bad things about daycares... I don't even want my boyfriends family to change or bathe my baby.. I think the only people I'd trust watching and changing my baby are my 2sisters, mom and boyfriend. Just because i don't know his family well enough because we live in a different town than them! Amd my sisters both have kids! Pretty sure its just a mom thing! I already know I'm going to be a protective, cautious, and paranoid mom just because of how things are these days!!

Yeah true I would do my boy the same way if I was having a boy... things I watch on TV don't help much it just makes my way of thinking worse I just will make sure that I let my daughter know don't trust people don't be willing to just go to anyone... I don't even want her taking a piece of candy from a stranger she will no to say no to things

I hear ya, even with my son, im like that too. Even family, unless i know them well enough, i dont let watch my son, and def. dont let them change his diapers. Its not just little girls, there are sickos out there who will prey on childrenbof both gender. Definitely no daycare till kids can talk, and my 16 month old usually only has 4 ppl, who i allow to watch him...my mom, my aunt, hubbys gma and my fil, who apart from my dad is the only male ill allow to watch him...and if this baby is a girl, he prob wont get that priviledge...not that hed do anything innapropriate, EVER, but men besides my hubby dont need to change my daughters diaper, ya ll know what i mean? Id rather be a Crazy Mama Bear, then allow harm to come to my child.

My husband would never change my daughter unless he absolutely had to. He felt so uncomfortable invading her personal space. At times he had no choice. I never felt it a threat to her. But I would never allow any other person not even a family member touch or see my daughters areas. My husband runs her baths on occasion and will dry her up but refuses to wash her up
And I feel that's how it should be. No man should whole heartedly be interested in those aspects. She is now 3 I use all these same precautions with my son boys are more likely to be assaulted then girls keep that in mind.
Little boys should also be protected!

Yes, with you on that one. My daughter is 3. And still don't even like people looking at her at the store, people are weirdos. I've had 2 experiences in public with weird mother *******. I will never forget their faces. I have to tell my daughter sometimes not to act so cute, or whine, because some weird people could interpret it sexually. With girls it's crazy, I don't think that it ever changes either

Hey I'm the same way. With my first I had to leave her with a sitter so I could finish my last 3 months of high school and tried some college but after tht my sister watched her. I wouldn't let my dad or brothers change her or anything. With my second my husband let me quit work to stay at home with her

Girl I feel ya! I don't want any men around my baby. No babysitters no daycare. I don't even trust bd alone with the baby. I know he wouldn't hurt her, I just have a history with all that and I can't trust anyone.

I thinks its natural to feel protective of your baby, especially if it's your first.  BD and  I went to the pics the other week and left baby boy with his mum, it was hard and I kept texting to make sure he was okay, but it was bearable.   I wouldn't leave him with a stranger.   God knows how I'll be when I go back to work x
