Put your child first. Trust your instincts
Trust your gut. You’re getting that feeling for a reason! Listen to it!
Dont judge someone till you know them. If you trust the person you leave them with then what’s the problem? Bet it’s the new GF.
Absofuckenlutely not, honey I learned the hard way. Please if your gut says something is off then dont second guess don’t EVER leave that child with that family member ever.
Then find a new babysitter
No you are NOT being whatever to not want this person or personsby around your childern…TRUST YOUR GUT …better to be SAFE THAN SORRY…has ALWAYS BEEN MY MOTTO through my life with any situation…and if someone doesn’t like it well, just too f**king bad., GET OVER IT…
Stay Safe, My Friend 
I think it would be in your best interest to get to know the individual. I married a man with a 1.5 year old. The baby momma didnt know me and I imagine felt the same protectiveness you do. We had alot of unnecessary drama, until we made it a point to get to know each other. Now, we have no worries, no drama, and a well grounded young man of 16 yrs…trust your gut enough to be cautious, but also make an effort to relieve your worries by getting to know them. You may find an unexpected friendship, as I did. 
Not at all, always trust your instincts, there are too many sick people out there & kudos to you for not leaving your child with just anyone!

We had a similar situation. We said no more baby sitting or alone time. In addition, we had to put our foot down and say unless the couple has been a stable couple for minimum of 9 months, they will not be introduced to our kids. Revolving door of new boyfriends was not an acceptable influence for our young children

A go with your gut B don’t ask them to babysit at all the fact you even entertained the idea of random person watching your kids is crazy c might consider getting to know that person on on your own terms
never trust them around your kids, until they earn your trust, it might take a while.
I would do a background check on them. Even though not everything shows up on those. Maybe your state has a case info website you can search information on them too.
Heck no! Go with your gut
Its been scientifically proven that womens “intuition” about people is very real. Women unconsciously see micro expressions in people that mens brains do not recognize. Some women are trained or train themselves to ignore these things because society says it’s polite, but if your “intuition” is telling you a person isn’t safe, they likely aren’t or have the potential to not be.

one of my Childs family members???..I am not following…your Childs family?..isn’t that your family too?
How about getting to know the person first before judging that person. Maybe that person is not the person you think they are.
trust your instincts.

God gave us intuition for a reason. Use it!
Go with your gut feeling. If you would like you can PM and I can tell you a true story about a family members life time best friend and the unthinkable.
Trust me as a mom to 6 go with your gut, I never had that instinct with that person and don’t understand why but ever since I had 2 FBI agents knock on my door asking if I knew of a person buy a certain name, they then told me we had to sit down because I needed to see some things of concern. I never let my kids spend the night anymore with anyone. Unfortunately that goes for friends to because some family members could be creepers and no one knows it.
How do I go on here and ask a question
No you’re being a good mom… the statistics of a child being abused by a family friend are STAGGERING…
Go with your guts…
Always, always, always trust your gut. Male or female, if you’re worried about them, don’t let your child be alone around them. Too many kids having stuff happen to them by “a family friend” or a “trusted relative”. Protect your child at all costs.
Then don’t ask them to babysit? Lmao your opinion of this person is irrelevant
Trust your gut. I’m an overprotective mom. My teenagers, though they dont always like my choices, they know they are safe because of them.
Instinct is your ans.go get it child now.file for custody go thu the courts…its about this child…chid need you.cz now there is a replacement.go gt ur child.nicely…be for ur not able:heart:
You dont have to trust anybody including family and or their partners. Trust your gut it usually is right.

I understand there’s a fear of being the overly paranoid over bearing mother, but you have to trust your instincts. I’ve held my tongue too many times myself, but that’s only held me back as a mother.

Maybe not, depends on what makes you uncomfortable about them and on how much you trust the relative. My relatives may take my child around someone I don’t know because my relatives would not leave my child alone with a stranger or put my child in harm’s way.
I was molested by my brother. My niece by her father (brother in law), I have friends that were abused by neighbors. Suffice it to say we never know the wolves in our child’s lives, so I am ultra protective of who is around my kid. If your child is uncomfortable please, please. PLEASE RESPECT THAT INTUITION.

If you feel uneasy it’s for a reason…always trust ur motherly gut feeling…wrong or right its ur privileged choice to be able to.
I would rather be accused of being overprotective rather than have the knowledge that I could have protected them but didn’t.

Learn to separate emotions from instincts two very different things. And be honest to yourself if keeping your child away from this one person costs your child valuable time with family. Jealousy and spite are not the same as instinct these are human emotions. At the end of the day unless you are psychic you may be psychotic learn the difference.
Nope not at all. If that is your feeling then stick with it
Your child/ your choice.

Nope. Go with your gut! 90% of child sexual abuse victims know their abuser. How you feel is completely ok!
