If I couldn`t get in touch with someone, I certainly wouldn NOT leave my son with them. Maybe I`m just over protective, but it seems a potentially unsafe situation.

Explain that you`re not checking in on her, you just need to know about ______________ and you wanted to know if baby did anything cool/funny. And that if she is too busy to answer so you don`t think the worst, then you`ll have to find someone else to watch baby.

my MIL NEVER would answer her cell when she was watching my son... then she would say..OH it was off!! i thought it was on..or IDK how to use this stupid phone, you need to get a landline.... luckily she only watched him for a few months...

When I said give her what she wants, i meant that you should find someone else to watch the baby and just don`t call her at all until she understands that you need to be able to check up on your own baby.

I 100% agree with gr8scottswife

I understand if you get upset about this. My sister-in-law watches my daughter and she didn`t answer the phone a few times because she was busy and I was FREAKING out. So many bad things were racing in my head. She knows how upset I got so now even if she is really busy she`ll pick up say `everything is ok, I`ll call you right back` and I`m totally fine with that.

It`s a power struggle. I would not allow someone who won`t answer the phone to watch my child. Find someone else.

Well we aren`t bugging parents. We rarely call to check on him because we do trust her with the baby. It`s just annoying when we need to ask her something or get a meeting time or whatever and she never answers haha...plus she lives in a REALLY bad part of town, they always have news stories of break ins, drop houses, murders, etc so sometimes it would be nice to call and make sure they are still alive...

She sounds like my mom. She said once she starts watching my child, I don`t need to call while she has her unless it`s an emergency. She said she`ll call me if anything happens to my child. She sees that as a form of distrust if the parents keep calling to check on the child. Maybe your MIL feels that way...

just don`t call her. it seems like she doesn`t want anybody calling so just give her what she wants.
