Am i overprotective?

My bf is mad at me because I don’t want him to take our son abroad for a week to see his family. Our son is 6 months old and just don’t feel comfortable with him being in a different country to me for over a week! There’s a few reasons as to why I can’t go at the moment but he says I’m being way too overprotective. His family are always welcome to visits us and they do very often but they desperately want our son to be at their house. He also did threaten to take him without my permission but this was in the heat of an argument so…🤦🏽‍♀️

I wouldn't like that either

My baby hasn't been babysat by anyone yet at 6 months, let alone being in a different country to me. I don't think you're overprotective in the slightest, and like you say, they can come and see him. It'd be considered child abduction if he took the child out of the country without your permission, and in the heat of the moment or not, I'd be taking that very seriously.

WTF threatened to take him? First of all report that to police in case your son goes missing. Secondly a week at that age without mom would never happen he sounds selfish for thinking you’d be okay with that! He’s also selfish for not just waiting until you can attend

6 months?! Absolutely not 😂 I would say ask me again when he’s 6 years 😂😂

No my son is 6 years old almost and there is absolutely no way in HELL I’d let anyone take him anywhere I couldn’t get too fast.

I wouldn't say you're overprotective just uncertain. If he is listed on the birth certificate then he has every right to take him to visit family unless there is a court order stating otherwise. If he is willing to pay for a ticket for you are you able to go with them then? Does he help in any of the parenting at all like feeds and bath time? Do you trust that your man is capable of caring for yall child? If yes to everything then you have nothing to worry about and I would occupy my time with a much needed break.

no , cause i haven’t let anyone really babysit my baby yet n he’s 7 months cause i don’t feel comfortable
