MIL always confront baby sitter

My mother-in-law always thinks there's a problem with my child's babysitter. I've already changed babysitters twice because they kept arguing with my mother-in-law. Either they weren't clean enough, or they were too close to my child. The problem is, my mother-in-law is confrontational and likes to yell. None of the babysitters can handle it. I talked to my husband. He spoke to his mother, but she got mad and said, 'That's because I love your child!!! That's my grandchild!!!' I don't know anymore. I'm so stressed. Now I have to find another babysitter because I really need one. I have to work, and it's impossible to leave my child with just the grandmother. P.S. She also doesn't allow me to put my child in daycare. Ugh.

Agree with the other mummies..all the yelling is stressful for the baby. If she finds that none of the baby sitters are good enough, tell her that you'll put the baby to ifc, coz you can't possibly keep changing babysitters all the time. Seek your husband's support on this, and be firm about it. She's not the parents, and the parents have final say.
