My husband is very anxious about anyone other than myself looking after our 9 month daughter. I'm not sure how much of it is normal but the thought of it actually brought him to tears.Other people have looked after our daughter for a couple of hours and sometimes it's gone badly but mostly it's fine. It's always when he is at work and I've needed a few hours to catch up on housework when she's been particularly clingy for an extended time. The subject came up because it's our first wedding anniversary in a few weeks. He really started panicking about the idea of someone else looking after her. I think he's been avoiding telling me how he really feels about the few times someone else has babysat her because he used the phrase "it's ok for you to just palm her off to someone else". He has a bad habit of bottling his thoughts and feelings up especially when he doesn't think they're important. Which is most of the time because he doesn't think highly of himself. As the conversation went on it came up that he is unsure of the idea of me going back to uni/working. He's worried about our daughter going into daycare. I enjoy being a SAHM but I can only defer uni until the start of next year or all the progress I have made in the course I was doing will have been for nothing. I was looking forward to just chilling with some pizza and video games like we used to but I want him to be able to relax. How can I reassure him? via /r/Parenting http://ift.tt/2GfaNk5
