Ok so my step-sister is visiting she's like 6 years younger than me but she doesn't shut up at all and like since she came over (it's only been 2 days) she has been practically taking care of my son like it was her own! She is my sister blood related or not I still love her like my sister but it's my baby not hers! I don't mind her helping every nnow and again but it's like she's taking over. I'll feel horrible if I tell her all this but it's only been two days and she's staying for a week! I really don't think I can last an entire week with her like taking over! Am I over reacting I mean I seriously have only fed him once and changed his diaper twice since she got her she's done the rest. Also anyone who doesn't think I'm over reacting to this please any advice on how I can tell her nicelyt to back off would be greatly appreciated.

well i think maybe you're overreacting a little. she's probably just really excited to be there and see him and she wants to spend all her time with him. my sister is like that. or maybe she thinks she's giving you a break? i know you love your time with him, but maybe try to enjoy a week with somebody else helping you out? think of it less as her wanting to take over and more like she's giving you a break and helping you with him.

but if you really can't stand it for the couple days she's there, just try taking him. you don't need to make a big deal of it. when you think he's hungry just take him and feed him. just don't give her the opportunity.

I'm with Isa, I think you're over reacting hunny :/ I think she's just really excited, plus wants to give you a break (even if you don't feel like you need one). I say, try changing your mind-set about this for now. Instead of seeing it like she's taking over, think about it like she's trying to be involved and help out so you know if you ever need her to babysit for a couple days, she can handle it. I honestly wouldn't bring it up because I think it'll cause unneeded drama.

My aunt is here and she's gone nuts over my child! She's even done her laundry and washing her bottles! I'm bothered a bit because I like time with my little girl and feeling independent, but I mean, my aunt isn't gonna be around her all the time so I might as well let her enjoy her while she can. Enjoy the break hun! I know it's tough sometimes because it's your kid and you're overprotective (like most mothers should be lol), but it'll be okay!

lol you guys are right I don't know I'm still in that state I guess where I want to be the one doing things for him like he's just learning to roll over from his stomach to his back and starting to hold his bottle like I think I just dont want to miss anything, plus my step-dad has been hounding me lately saying stuff like I can't take care of him myself which I think was also part of the problem, but yea I'm going to try and just relax this week except for when I babysit these 3 kids lol.

If you're uncomfortable just interrupt and start to do it yourself, otherwise enjoy the break. If It get's to be too much go ahead and say something, I don't like when other people look after Kennedy too much either, other times I enjoy the break. It's case by case and only you as mama can gauge it.

Well I'm definitely enjoying the break right now I babysat today a 10 month old, 3 year old, 4 year old, plus taking care of my son whos 4 months old and I watched all of them from 7 am -5:30 pm I am exhausted and I have to do this for 3 more days I'm exhausted.
