Hi everyone! Here’s my 11-week-old FTM. I was possessive of the kid even during my pregnancy, and I didn’t want anyone to feel entitled to him (for example, I was furious but didn’t say anything when my in-laws purchased nearly an entire nursery’s worth of items for their home). The emotions have only grown stronger since he arrived. I notice it most with my in-laws (we don’t usually get together, but ever since the baby, they’ve been contacting me more, which bothered me and bothered me knowing it’s normal), but I also notice it with certain other people, like my aunt, who likes to take the baby out of my sight.
I assumed it was a hormonal thing and that it would have gone away by now. However, I can’t shake it, and I hate taking the infant anywhere. How do I get past this emotion and stop feeling like an arrogant, self-centered jerk?
I’m grateful.
. I’m a laid-back person, so I didn’t mind if people held him from the beginning. Not at all. Only after he’s been gone from me all day or when I haven’t had a chance to hold him recently do I feel those cravings. Then I simply give him back, because you are the mother. Follow your desires. However, you will eventually want people on your side since there will come a moment when you’ll want to let him go for a moment, hehe
