[quote=Anonymous]I’m a grandmother. I’m 55 with two grandbabies. Honestly, I would feel kind of offended if my DIL or my daughter weren’t comfortable leaving their toddlers with me for a few hours. Newborn, I totally understand (although my kids were more than willing to let me have the babies right from the beginning). Your wife needs to manage her anxiety. If the baby cries, grandma or grandpa are capable of managing it. Babies cry. As a mom of five and now grandma of two, it takes a lot to stress me out. A crying 10 month old is so easy to distract. Of course you back your wife regardless. But you need to gently encourage her to try. Maybe make the first time a trip to the coffee shop. I’ll bet the baby does great. [/quote]
