6 months old baby chooses MIL over me

When I went to fetch baby yesterday and I took baby over from MIL, baby started crying and stretched her arms towards MIL. I was so sad that baby chose someone else and doesn’t want me, I cried the whole night :( I felt angry and sad and kind of hated my MIL and baby. I feel like I put in so much effort to take care and play with baby.. yet she choose someone else :( I know she’s just a baby but I can’t help to feel this way... am I crazy? ? I told hubby I want to send baby to infant care instead to separate baby and MIL, and he thinks I am ridiculous.. am I? ?

Nono, don’t feel upset. As for me, I rather my baby be close to my MIL who is a relative, rather than the infant care teacher who is a stranger.

My hubby says that too.. but i thought baby wil not be close to the teacher as she will “know” it’s a school.. my heart broke when she stretched her arms over to mil😭
