Don’t instill your fears into your child.
If you trust your mum then you have no need to be stressing. It’s your own fear that’ll stop him from enjoying something.
Relax a little and let your mum enjoy some time with her grandson and let him enjoy some time at the beach.

Get them a life jacket and tell your mom that they’re not allowed in the water without it. It also wouldn’t be a bad idea to get your child swimming lessons. If drowning is a fear of yours, than give them the means to prevent it.

Your thoughts are very much valid! If your not comfortable, explain to your mom
Let him go bc she’s a responsible adult and he deserves a fun time. He’ll be fine. Grab a life vest in his size if you are worried. I agree with the others, you have to work through your fears and anxieties without projecting them onto others. Let the kids be kids please, we’re losing that inthis generation people aren’t even considering sleepovers anymore, kids barely play with other neighborhood kids, bc of paranoia and fear, can’t keep them babies in a bubble they deserve fun and community. A sense of normalcy. Free yourself from the stuff that’s binding you. For you.
Teaching your child the safety of the water be great full she in his life and making memories it could happen with you aswell just breathe and teach your son water safety.
I wouldn’t allow anyone but me to take my kids swimming for the same reason, I think you’re been completely rational! Tell her no x

I’m too scared to take my son to the beach on my own, but if I have another person there with me or my parent(s) (who obviously kept me alive at the beach as a kid lol) want to take him I’m cool with that lol he loves swimming and I don’t wanna make him miss out bc I have anxiety over large bodies of water. I feel differently about pools haha I’ll take him to one of those all day. He has a life jacket that fits him for whenever he swims. I understand where you’re coming from with safety concerns, but if you aren’t ever gonna take him there bc of your fears - another trusted adult should be able to bc he shouldn’t have to never go and miss out on the enjoyment just because his mom’s scared. He’ll learn water safety, you gotta give him the chance tho.

It’s very normal to feel this way. I watch my grandbabies and their moms have the same fears. Just tell her you are not ready for the child to go to the beach without you. Put your child in swim classes, it will really help ease the fear you are having.
This is a you problem not your sons or your mothers. Let it go an leave it be if you trust her then TRUST her! She kept you alive all these years so I think she can handle a day with your son. Projecting your fears onto your child is only cause him to resent you for holding him back and you will lose your relationship with him. So stop an let it go the only thing you need to focus on is the fact that you trust your mother with your child simple as that. Take deep breaths and pretend he’s going to a park or a movie with her and not the beach. It’s all a mind game with fears. Don’t project show respect and let your trust in her guide you through.
Your kid your rules.
End of story.
I am so scared of the water nearly died when I was 4 in a pool and again when I was 19 in the sea im very lucky to be here. But would I ever push those fears onto my child absolutely not. She loves the water and the people I trust take her because I can’t because of my fears.

I would absolutely hate to be a child not allowed to do anything because it was my parents fears. Don’t push your fears onto your children. Maybe sit down and express your worries with your mom. She might just be taking your child to the beach to play in the sand. I remember when my gma would take me to the beach and let me play in the sand as a child. I 100% hate the beach near me, but I woukd shove that reasoning onto my kids just because how I felt. If you are truly concerned, see if she can take your child to the splash pad and on your next off day, plan a trip to the beach with your family.

I almost drowned as a child and have fear of deep water. I was afraid of projecting this fear onto my daughter. So I put her into swimming lessons as soon as she was potty trained. She swims quite well now. I even took her white water rafting for her 15th birthday. It was quite a fearful experience for me but she loved it. Of course we had life jackets to wear. Otherwise I wouldn’t have gone. Lol.
Be honest with her. Tell her you don’t want her taking him because of your fear. If she insists get another caregiver.
She raised you and your still here so what are you concerned about. Let him go to the beach with his grandma.
Just say you’re not comfortable and you’ll be worried all day at work, so please wait until you can all go together. She’s your Mom just like you’re his Mom, so she probably doesn’t want you to feel stressed out about anything.

If you truly trust your mom and believe she would watch him and keep him close to her then you should let your son go. If you have doubts about her ability to keep up with him or to watch him closely then don’t let him go… but don’t let your fear and anxiety ruin what could b be a great thing for the two of them

Just tell her what you said here.you do not want her to take him to the beach because of your fears.ask her to take him to a splash pad instead.if she gets offended its ok,she will get over it. Having your peace of mind is more important.
I want to tell you your child it’s your decision but there are some instances that you personally may not feel comfortable but if you have trust there’s nothing wrong with your mother taking baby to beach. You can tell your mother about your anxiety about it and see how she responds. Either she won’t go, or she’ll send you a ton of pics while there and tey and keep your anxiety down by keeping you informed. Those are the best two options. If she completely blows you off I would look for someone else to watch your child while at work. As a mom of teens I can’t tell you how many times I had to let my child go and do things I was not comfortable with. The biggest one right now is my 14 year old starting football. I’m just so scared he’s going to get super hurt. But he seems to be loving it and enjoying it.
U didn’t say how old ur son is, but I get it fr!!! Please buy your son a life jacket and make sure he’s got it on anytime he goes to the beach:orange_heart:

You need to let him go. Your anxiety shouldn’t let him miss out on life experiences. I’m not trynna sound like an a$$. But that’s your fear. It will only hold him back.
Tell her NO. You’re his mom. If you don’t want him to go, tell her no.
Right there with you. Make sure he has a life jacket and just remind her to pay very close attention to him. It not something easy to do. I don’t let others take my kiddos. I have anxiety also. I was nervous when we went to the beach and I was there with mine. Lol.
Let her take him, you should be able to trust your mom with him after all she raised you.

You’re going to rob your child of a perfectly normal experience that you just said you trust you mom in. Stop, this isn’t your life. Just tell her you don’t want him actually swimming in the ocean yet and it’ll be fine. You don’t need to project your irrational fears onto him, and yes it is irrational because he doesn’t have to be swimming. You have a way around it. He doesn’t HAVE to swim.

I understand you have a fear of that, but you shouldn’t push it on your child. I know you just wanna keep him safe, but my fears held me back from so much, I don’t want that for my kids. I want them to experience things I was to scared to experience. I’m terrified of the beach, but I don’t want my kids to be, so I just try to make sure they’re aware of how fast something can happen so that they can have fun but be safe
Get a new babysitter
I would probably just let her take him they will have so much fun.
I’m not trying to minimize your fears. But really they are that. Just a fear.
Every thing will be ok.
Really. Just let him have some fun with his grandma. Drowning at a beach is extremely unlikely. Extremely.
And yes it’s your kid.
And your right and all that
.but in reality it’s just a kid and his grandma having fun.
It will be fine.

gave that fear mama and I promise you your child will have a good time!!
I felt the same way with my daughter when my mom and aunt took the granddaughters because neither one of them can swim , but I did and glad I did my aunt passed away so I’m glad she got to spend that time with her. It’s normal to feel that way especially when your with them all the time.

Speaking as a grandmother who took our grandson to the beach, we had a great time.
It is your right to say no but remember, your Mom raised you and you’re doing okay. Unless your Mom drinks heavily or does drugs, then I would definitely not let him go but, if she doesn’t, then he’ll be fine. A lot depends on the age of your son, if he can swim, how well your Mom gets around, can she swim, will it just be the two of them. Be sure to lay out age appropriate rules regarding beach/pool time and anything else you’re concerned about. This way your Mom knows what is allowed & what isn’t.

You’re a parent so you’re going to need to grow a backbone to start. I don’t mean that in a harsh way. But you’re going to have to speak up and step up in ways you probably aren’t used to now as a parent.
Have a conversation with your mom about your concerns but I do have a bit of advice: don’t project your fears onto your children. Allow them to have experiences and try new things. Assuming your mom is responsible and alert, she isn’t going to allow anything bad to happen to your child. And most likely, this will be a great memory for your son and for her.

I understand your fear . It’s valid , accidents happen in the blink of an eye . My baby grandfather and his girlfriend came over to take him for a walk , they allowed him to walk around in the car port , then he just BOLTED for the road and all this woman did was WATCH him run to the road . Thank god I seen and ran and got him before he got to the road . A big truck came speeding round the corner at the very moment.
The death stare she got from us . She’s lucky . Now we do not allow her to care for him at all . She’s never had kids of her own and she doesn’t realize how fast they are . She is not on the ball at all .
Since you trust her, let them go. I repect your fear. Remember that your fear has to do with you, nobody else. It must be so difficult, yet try to see the situation as it truly is.

I’ve learned with my youngest that whatever you fear they will follow unless you let them learn their own.

I try to remain calm and tell her everything is OK and sometimes she’s ok. You canbut you shouldn’t stop your child from having fears that you do cuz he will then be the same. You need to allow him to learn on his own. Your mom protected you and you obviously trust her enough to watch your son so have the same trust with being in water. I’ve learned with heights I stay back and have to turn around or clothes my eyes and keep quiet so my kids can enjoy some things. My older ones make fun of me with heights even though one of them is a little afraid but not as bad as me. Lol
