Ok seriously I don't know what is wrong with me. I have this thing where I do not let anyone hold my baby. I especiallly do not like or let my family hold the baby and when they do I get angry, irritated, or the look on my face says it all. I feel bad because I am only pissing them off, but I seriously can't help it. I don't know why I do it and I don't know how to stop it. The only time really that I don't get this way is if I want some "alone" time and I hand the baby over to one of my family members. I am ok at times letting people I barely know (like the people who see me like everyday at 711 or subway) hold the baby; yet, I have a problem with friends and family holding my baby? Yeah reading this makes me wonder wtf is my problem? It should be the other way around, but the people I see at 711/subway only hold her for a few seconds and give her back. I have the baby in daycare, I work, I am going back to school, and I am a single mom. I only get to be with my baby at night after work and weekends. And now that I am going back to school monday nights I am going to be getting home later. When she is with me I feel so happy because I want to bond with her, I want her to love me as mommy, I don't want her to love someone else more than me since my schedule is so busy. I feel like they are taking her away when they want to take her from my arms. She is the only person in my life that is my responsibility and I don't want anyone taking that away from me. Does this sound weird? I sound crazy huh? I know my friends and family love her to, so why do I feel so threatened by them? Even things my friends and family will say, like when they say "oh i'm going to teach her to say/do this..." it irritates me in a way like I am the one who is going to be doing the teaching because i'm mom.
Seriously I sound like a crazy obessessed mom and I AM NOT! I just love my daughter and I don't feel as though I have a strong enough bond with her.

You sound like a new mom. It was hard for me to let other people hold my oldest daughter when she was a baby. I am much more chilled out now. My oldest is six.
