Infant care or MIL

I would prefer sending my baby to infant care when I return to work, but my MIL says she wants to look after her. I thought we could compromise and leave her in infant care for half the day, and let my MIL look after her for the second half of her day. She is insisting that she wants to look after my baby for the entire day. I am not comfortable with it because my FIL always shouts and curse/swear at home. And she also could not tell us what will happen to her daily marketing, because we are not comfortable to let her bring my baby out, especially to the wet market. Also, I'm not a big fan of my MIL. And a first time mum here. Very paranoid my baby will choose my MIL in future if they spend too much time together.

If your FIL has negative vibes then I would suggest putting into infant care. Currently I let my MIL take care however she will come to our house, away from FIL. My in laws have some conflict sometimes and give out negative vibes which I don’t want my child to grow up around thinking that is normal. If hubby and I both need to go back to office full time, then I will consider infant care. Otherwise having my MIL take care, I know she may do things slightly different than me. In the end I can work peacefully knowing even we have our differences, she puts baby first. She will always do what’s best for baby, even if I may not agree to her style. I know baby is taken care of and loved immensely for sure.
