Ever since my daughter was born I've had these horrible memories of my childhood come back. My mother hitting us with leather belts, rods, anything she thought would hurt most. She even beat me in public once. She left handprints, welts, bruises, and marks. She was quick to hit, and she couldn't control her temper.
My mother no longer hits us as we are adults now and she hasn't been mean for a while. She's actually nice at times. I can get along with her for short periods of time, but I secretly resent her. I almost never call her and only see her once every few months.
I know only good parenting from mature educated adults can raise responsible children. I look at my daughter and can't imagine hurting her. I don't want my mother's immature parenting tactics to be used on my daughter as well. I only let her see my baby with other family around to "watch her"
How do I tell her that I don't want her alone with my baby without hurting her feelings or causing a fight?
