When you don’t maintain a good relationship with your child, you shouldn’t do anything different from your child either. It is a two-way relationship, always. Say if you accuse your daughter of being a terrible parent and then demand to see that very child, I don’t think you should expect an answer of your liking from your daughter. That is exactly what happened in today’s story.
Reddit user u/helllooooo567123 shared she has a son and because both she and her husband work, he stays at the daycare full-time. OP doesn’t have a great relationship with her parents. They have seen her son only a handful of times and also accuse OP of being a terrible parent. Having said that, OP’s mother one time requested to take her son with her to her own house and gave out a detailed plan. Her rationale behind it was to let her daughter take a break. OP simply rejected the plan by saying it made her feel uncomfortable. The mother didn’t like that and the two got into a heated argument.

1. Take your baby? For what reason? Let’s find out.
2. OP’s son lives in a daycare full-time and they are very happy with its services.
3. OP’s relationship with her family isn’t the best as they have seen her son very few times. Her sister hasn’t even seen him.
4. OP’s parents didn’t like the way she was bringing up her son, or the rules that she had set.
5. OP’s mother shared an idea of her spending time with her daughter’s son which to me sounds very exhausting, to be fair.
6. The plan was laid out before OP.
7. This was the mother’s way of helping OP take a break.
8. Even though OP never mentioned to her mother that she needed a break, she still forged this plan.
She broke your rules by kissing your son right in front of you. She could do anything with OP’s son once she takes him away and no one would ever know. I think this is a terrible plan and OP should reject it. Besides, the trip, just by reading it, sounds so exhausting. It will tire out the child so badly.
And it must not go unnoticed that OP never asked her mother to help her take a break from parenting, so this is all an idea generated by her mother independently. Let’s see what happens next. Scroll down below to continue reading!

9. OP simply rejected the idea.
10. She cannot take him with her but she is allowed to come and meet him.
11. Oh wow! Too picky, this mother.
12. The debate didn’t result in any solid outcome so OP asked the AITA community if not giving her son to her mother to take with her makes her wrong or not.

13. If she wants to meet the baby, she can come over to OP’s house, stay for as long as she wants, and interact with him.
