Should i let my mom watch my daughter?

Question

When i was 16 my mom kicked me out and didn't even talk mto me for 3 years because she met this loser that just ended up using her for everything she had. Any way i am now 33, married and have a two year old daughter, I have caught my mom in a pile of lies, and a few people in my family have told me she has always lied. Up until now i will not let her babysit my daughter because I don't trust her, I am afraid my daughter will fall and hit her head or something and she won't tell me. She says I am ridiculous to not trust her, should I go with my gut instinct and not let her babysit?

Answer 1

If you let your mom watch your daughter knowing what you do know, what kind of mom are you being. Be a mother is a privilage not a right and your mom abused her privilage with you, why would you allow the possibility of her doing the same thing you your lovely little angel. I say no and if I were you, I would not allow her to have her for any reason for any time alond. She made her bed and now she has consiquences to her previous actions toward you. What goes around comes around.
NO

Answer 2

This is no different than a test you have studied for back in highschool, A teacher taught me and we all know it is true, GO WITH YOUR FIRST ANSWER/ Your gut instinct.
Plus, So far it seems not one person here has said TRUST YOUR MOM, and you know better than all of us, you are her daughter.
Nope, the die is cast...Mom made her bed, so LET HER SLEEP IN IT.
Get some young Jr high or High school girl or boy YOU TRUST!!!
Talk to their parents and or teacher.
You can often times post a note at a JR. High or High School.
Again GET REFERENCES from teachers or parents...
And I bet you will be better off, than with, DEAR OLD MOM.

Answer 3

I say go with your gut. Especially if you haven't already been much involved in each other's lives. I feel the same way about my daughter's "other" family (her father's side). I get the feeling that something would happen and they would purposely not tell me just to avoid me throwing a big stink about it. Do what you feel is right, regardless of what she thinks. It's your child and her safety.

Answer 4

Always go with your gut instinct when your kids are involved! If something doesn't feel right it isn't. I had a similiar situation with my father. After a few years he proved himself to me and now watches my kids but until both my wife and I felt comfortable he was not allowed to.

Answer 5

Go with your gut! You are that little girl's mom and you have to make the best choices for her. I think your completely right about not trusting your mom. If you cant trust her with little thing's how can you trust her with your daughter!

Answer 6

If it's your gut instinct then don't! She is your daughter not your pet...(not to insult you). But, you really need to think about what changes she has made, how long she will be watching her...etc. But again, if you feel it in your gut, then I would go with that.

Answer 7

I would seriously go with my gut instinct. Something is telling you not to let her babysit.

Answer 8

Go with your gut instinct.Your child is a precious responsibility.If your mum wants to see your daughter just spend an afternoon there.

Answer 9

Go with your gut instinct. You are the mother and if you don't trust her don't leave your precious little angel with her. She's your mother but she proved herself to be irresponsible.

Answer 10

Do not let her babysit. And she didnt talk to you for 3 years!
