Advice please
Went to see my boyfriends mum for the first time this weekend we drove 5hrs because it was to "inconvenient" for her to come here and she wanted my 3 month LO overnight.... mind you she has been on drugs before and has to take sleeping medication and does weed and smokes
I let her have her for maybe 2-3 hours but that was NOT good enough she starts abusing my partner and telling him to man up and let her have her overnight after I said no.
My mum does have her occasionally overnight but my mum doesn't smoke at all and has a firm head on her shoulders she would message me to ask anything she didn't know concerning her yet my partners mother didn't even ask me how much formula she gets and water. And just "googled it.
Am I in the wrong?

@Aisha thank youu
@Laurenriley yeah
You shouldn’t let her watch your baby at all. She’s not safe with her.
My partner's mum offered to look after my little one overnight to and I was just like... nope, can't happen, little one feeds every hour and she refuses the bottle. Plus she co-sleeps with me so I just thought "why would I put her through stress for you?" since I had no problem not taking a break from her. Not even my mum has looked after her alone for longer than an hour
@Sophie yeah i only let my mum have her if I really need it mentally and I know my mums good with her 🤷♀️
Your baby’s well being is more important than her ego. Please keep in mind that letting people who smoke near the baby increases their chances of SIDS, since they can have all the particulate matter stuck to their clothes and hair. I would wait till the baby is older to leave overnight with her
