sasa, how do I keep an eye on my girl when my MIL is taking care of her? I will be working.
I can tell her this cannot, that cannot, but behind my back, who knows what she will do, right?
GuniBabe, I don't have to print out as I have also been reading books and when I tell my HB about them, he doesn't believe at all, or don't take it in. When I show him the books, he has no interest in reading. He just lets his mom do what she likes and instead tells me off, which really angers me. I am saying for the good of the bb, and yet he tells me off for the sake of his mother!
ypg, guess what? My MIL tells me that feeding the baby orange juice everyday is good for her. I told my mom about that and she was also shocked, as like you, she says that the baby will develop phlegm if given orange juice everyday. My MIL also doesn't know to prepare fruit juices so that babies can drink, like straining it, diluting it, etc. Haiz.... I'm making myself paranoid by thinking about all this man. Worse still is, I have no support from my HB on this. I wonder if I can tell my HB to tell him mom not to start BB on any semi solids or solids until I start them so that I can monitor for allergies, etc. You think people in their generation will think about all this?
Yeah, I also worry about my BB choking on that small piece of macaroni. I can't, my MIL HAS to take care of my BB. They have already decided on that even before I gave birth and did not even ask my opinion or if my mom would like to take care of the baby. My PILs and HB just naturally take it that my MIL will take care of the baby. My FIL even asked me to quickly have a second baby for them to take care, you believe my MIL alone can really handle? Anyway, after such a terrible experience with confinement, etc, it's really turning me off having a second child.
I think I will really leave home one day if we ever have a major fight one day. But first, I must make sure that the baby is with me when I leave home, I don't want him to use her to threaten me.
Hi LC, I only have facts in English, and since my HB won't cooperate with me, how can I bring the message across to my MIL about food? Now I'm also worried about her feeding my baby orange juice everyday when she takes care of her. And she still says that bringing the baby to my mom's place where there is a dog will cause asthma. She will be the one causing it!
As mentioned to ypg above, if really driven to that, I think I may just do it!
