No1 will ever babysit for me again!

Me and my fiance went to see 300 tonight and my mom came over to babysit. My daughter ( 6 months old) started crying at about 6pm when she saw us getting ready to go and not getting her ready. She cried harder when we opened the door to leave.. and of course.. we left cuz she needs to learn its okay if someone else watches her. So we went to see the movie and got back around 9:20pm. My mom told us that while we were gone, she did nothing but scream. She screamed through her bath, and screamed when put to bed. She screamed so hard she threw up 3 times, and was throwing tantrums. She was hitting her face, pulling her clothes and screaming so hard she was having problems breathing. After a while they got her calmed down enough so she was mildly quiet and she stared at the door the entire time..

I feel kind of flattered cuz she loves us so much. But it proves what I told my mom and sister when they say they are going to steal her. "Give it two hours.. you'll bring her back". Now we arent going to get babysitters anymore lol.

Omg yes. I cant stand to go to work when my fiance has the day off.. and not take her with! But I havent gone out since february so I figured a break would help so I dont get stressed out.

I didn't have that problem with my mom watching him atleast. Probably because I live with her, so my son was use to her being there. But when my brother tried to watch him, it was like the world was going to end! Eventually he got over it, and doesn't care much now.

My 7 month old did that to my mom last week when my hubby and I went to see Ghost Rider.(good movie) When we got back my mom was in tears. There's no way I could do that to my baby girl or my mom again.

My son used to do that when he would see me leave the house. What works for us is, my hubby (or whoever is gonna be watching my son) plays w/ him and keeps him occupied as I leave. As long as he doesn't actually see me walk out the door, he's good. Hope this helps: )

The worst thing is, its my 21st birthday in the beginning of April and my moms sposed to watch her overnight (1st time ever! so she should expect some phone calls in the middle of the night). So I think Im going to make her come over a few times before that and watch her for small portions of time so my daughter gets used to her again.

My 5 month old did the same thing to the lady that watches her at the YMCA while I get in a work out. Lucky for them, they can come get me if it gets really bad.
