syntactic analysis - “Instead of ʏᴏᴜʀ calling” vs “Instead of ʏᴏᴜ calling”

Which is better:




  1. Instead of your calling, maybe I should do it.


  2. Instead of you calling, maybe I should do it.





I feel like the first one is the better choice here because instead of needs a gerund, but the second sentence seems really common.
