Well my daughters a week old and earlier today my mom offered to take my daughter for a couple of hours ( sounds great right) so i can get a little bit of sleep. The thing is if my mom takes her for a few hours she wants to take her to her friends house. But her friends's house is extremly dirty ( i dont mean to sound mean). Her friend's house has ants & stuff. I REALLY dont want her to take my daughter there but then again my mom is really exited about it. How should i politely tell my mom thanks but no thanks. I dont know if it matters but i am only 15 ( dont worry im still in school) & my mom is kind of strict. But she's MY daughter & i dont want her to get sick. Any advice would be great thanks.
Oh my mom & her other friends have tried to tell the other friend ( the one with the dirty house) that she needs to clean her house but does she listen? No.. but she is a wonderful lady.

Nope not breastfeeding.

Regardless of your age, you need to be honest and tell your mom what you want and expect from her in regard to your child.
Good luck!

Just tell your Mom that it's a great offer, but you're really worried about your baby getting sick in the dirty house, or bitten by ants. Maybe your Mom has something in mind to protect the baby.
Never be afraid to voice your concerns about your baby. Your baby is counting on you to do it.
Also you could ask if maybe your Mom's friend would like to come over instead.

Tell your mum the truth, just like you told us, and that you'd rather she invited the friend to your place. You can still go and lie down, but your baby will safely be in your house. Don't believe it if anyone says you're being paranoid. The last thing you want is a sick baby, and it doesn't sound like you are breastfeeding, which would protect against most things.

Just tell your mom WHY you don't want her to take her there. Tell her you think it would be a great idea for them to spend the time together but your worried about the house. If your mom has told her to clean already then she knows and will understand.

Explain to her like you did to us. Your right to be concerned its your baby. Hopefully your mom will understand but if not she may not help out again.or tell her your not ready to have that far away so why doesn't her friend come to your moms house while you sleep.

you could suggest that they take her to the park or for a walk? something outdoors that would keep her away from the house but not the people

just tell her your concerns, if you do not then she'll never know, also it might be a little 'rude' but your daughters' health comes first.
