My sister...

I feel she has to face the consequences for her actions. If you can’t trust her to respect your rules for your baby, she doesn’t get alone time with your baby. Of course that’s easier said than done if you rely on her for baby sitting, so if they have to be alone together, I’d find some other way to make her face the consequence.
@Bree My parents were the ones babysitting. My sister just happened to be their. There have been so many instances where my mom and sister have crossed my boundaries regardless of how clear I've made them. And when I get upset, they act like I'm in the wrong. She's my baby not theirs. Unfortunately, I'm a single mom and don't have the money for alternative child care while I'm working. It's a constant battle. My sister also just sent me a video from when I was feeding my daughter some oatmeal tonight and literally said her face looked ugly.
@Lianna wow, I’m so sorry you’re dealing with that. It sounds so hard and impossible. But you’re not crazy, you have every right to be upset. Even though they are the majority, they are wrong and it’s a shame they don’t see it.
@Bree that's kind of how it was growing up too. I'm unfortunately used to it. Eventually, I'll find a new partner and have a better job so I can afford to move out again. Until then I feel like I just have to suck it up and deal with it.
Well, they will have to face the consequences at some point and maybe that helps ease your mind. I mean once you are in a better position, I’d never leave your daughter alone with them.
It's at the point, I'll probably cut them off at least temporarily once I move out.
It’s unfortunate forsure but you truly cannot control what someone does when looking after your baby you have EVERY RIGHT to feel how you feel. That just comes with allowing ppl to watch your child. Just express that you didn’t like it and hopefully it doesn’t happen again or find someone else to watch baby.
