nobody around here will ever run out of IL stories, esp not from me.
I contribute.
And it was all so stupid. over apple.. can you beat that? stupid. So last weekend my hb came back from duty in the morning and took over the girl for a while, i went to prepare breakfast.
While i was grating the apple for her cereal, mil comes along to tell me don't give the pulp, just give juice because her stomach might not be able to take it. I told mil that if give juice already, not much difference so let's try a little bit of pulp and it was just that little bit. For one, i'm at home to clean her up if her stomach runs.
Mil goes to complain loudly to the household, to my sil. But my hb can heard her because she is that whiney, naggy and loud. So he comes out of the room and shouts, he comes out to the kitchen and shouts. He shouts at me to make a point to make his mother feel better. over apple.
So i tossed the apple cereal and made her milk cereal instead. She came out and cried, say sorry she don't want to interfere, ask me to look after my daughter myself, prepare my own food. So i told her my hb is just being silly, all this is silly, if bb's stomach cannot take apple now, let's try again in a few days.
Ever get that? After i get a job in God forsaken Jurong because it pays just slightly better, i hire a maid to help her out with housework, iron her bloody saris, after she anyhow fries the fish my mom bought for the maid to steam for me after work, she doesn't care what i eat whether i do or not for dinner, after i hired the maid to help her wash up after she plays iron chef, she ask me to look after my daughter myself. I'm also paying for the maid's food, baby's food, baby's diapers, milk powder and giving mil extra every month. I don't even have enough to give my mother anymore.
What's my hb's role in this? Oh, he pays the ultilities and he doesn't want to move out after we have our flat because he has to pay two sets of bills.
dumb f.
Right now my sil is using her husband to be to play favorite son so i let her lor. My mil is telling me that she wants to take bus go jb when i tell her my hb can take her there and i'ld look after baby.
I'm tired of her tantrums. I'm tired of her inconsistencies. I'm tired of having to grovel because i do.
I'ld rather live with this passive aggressive emotionally manipulative person and have her look after my daughter than put daughter at infantcare or with her maid. Because experience in the field has taught me that younger babeis invariably get sick easily in contact with other children.
I will bide my time and wait for abby to reach school going age and send her into childcare. Sure she gets a fair amt of custodial care at home but there's not much intellectual stimulation beyond irritating annoying tamil rhymes that my mil plays with her in front of other people for show. I am waiting for abby to grow up, waiting for my flat then i will put all this nonsense behind me.
I've also told my hb off for being stupid enough to react like that and he would shout at me like that ever again, i will pick baby up and walk out. Screw this family.
Next time i told him, please don't interfere into this kind of petty zhi ma lu dou women affairs. So now, he became bad guy, which is exactly what mil wants so she can play her emo blackmail game. i feel damn sorry for him lah.
ok, so that's the weekend for me. I'm so glad to be working, if i stay one more day at home, i will go nuts.
