@boldtakestories: AITA for telling my daughter in law she needs to relax her rules if she wants me to keep babysitting 😳 #redditstories #reddit_tiktok #reddit #redditreadings #redditstorytime
Kind of crazy that a SAHM with only one kid is getting two full days per week off and nitpicking things with the MIL

umm as a mother of 2 (adult) children. for real, I had to work for both of their lives. I missed so many firsts. it's called life. you're not going to make every single "first" moments. maybe compromise and have the grandma take videos (which wasn't a huge thing when my kids were little, phones were expensive and I couldn't always own a cell phone, cameras weren't as good back then, etc. I came to terms id miss some things. that mama needs to accept that she is lucky that she can be home with her children in this society! and if she is SO paranoid about "missing" firsts, then I guess she doesn't need a break she can have her children 100% of the time! until she decides to be flexible. this is so stupid honestly!

She doesnt need to babysit this much for someone thats a SAHM to one child anyways. Maybe once a week to catch up on chores and self care. This is ridiculous.

The fact that he’s 3 and hasn’t been to the park or zoo yet is actually concerning.

Just tell her you can’t watch him because you’re afraid she’ll miss a first. Maybe he’ll catch a frog or a bug, fall down, etc. you can’t take that risk.

Mom gets two days and an evening off. She’s very blessed to have a MIL who loves to do this for free

Tell your dil you are going to the park. Invite her to go along. You're bringing a picnic lunch and will be there to pick her up at 11. If she doesn't want to go her loss. Take your grandson and go have fun!

So basically what dil is saying is that nobody else is allowed to share a "first time" experience with her child unless she is present. Not only is that extremely selfish on her part but if she isn't going to do those things with her child as well then she is ruining her child's chances of experiencing new things and genuinely have fun. That child is going to grow up resenting her for keeping them from doing anything new without her.

she can watch her own kid because grandma should not have to stay in the house just because mom wants all of these firsts!!!

Not-the-a-hole. Daughter in-law is setting rules (fair). You are setting limits… also fair. Her rule is too restrictive.

Just do something and don’t ask. She can’t be there for every first moment unless she stays with him constantly
