So my husband is in the Marines and is leaving for 2 months for training. During that time he's sending me home, our baby girl hasn't met any family members as yet so I'm really excited for her to meet her grandmothers and other family members. I plan on going the second day to let mil meet her since I'll be reaching late at night on Monday.
So mil asks dh if she could take lo for a day to drive her around and introduce her to family. When dh tells me I say no. I'm not comfortable with her driving around the island with lo (who is 12 weeks old). But she could have everyone who she was going to, to come over by her house to meet lo and I could stay for the day. He says no she doesn't like ppl by her house like that. So I say ok well then I'll come with her the day she wants to go cause I ebf and I'm not able to pump more than 2 ounces these days (idk why).
So he tells me to use formula instead, and I'm saying no I can't. He then says how I would leave her alone with my mom why not his and a whole bunch of other stuff. But I thought my solution was a pretty good compromise. So my question is: what other ways can I work this out so that dh doesn't think that I'll do one thing with my mom and another with his? Or a good compromise that'll make me comfortable with leaving lo alone?
