Fiona: Can understand how you feel. But as mummies, we have to be strong. How many days are you in your confinement? Tell your mum that on 12th day, can wash hair already. This is from experienced confinement ladies. Actually if your mum can, ask her to cook the herb bath everyday. I bath everyday with it. I even use soap and use the herb bath to rinse. As for your hubby, I guess he could be really stressed at work. Like what chabby has suggested, it will be good if someone can help you to babysit her. It really helps a lot. If MIL can help, get her to as well. Jia you!
Mag: Just tell your CL that you have decided to do 28 days lor. Simple as that. Tell her that you want to do some visiting and if you do 40 days, all 15 days will be over.
I am thinking of sacking her because she is quite lazy and lacks initiative and very fond of passing the baby to me to latch without even checking diaper etc. Also, she doesn't handwash my clothes. She uses the washing machine. And my biggest complaint, TV addict. Hahaha...like now...she is watching the series I am watching. She can just sit in living room and wait for me to on tv...hahha...but hor she is showing some initiative these two days. Think she is sensing something. She actually swept the floor today hahahha....anyway hb figure that I still get to sleep and rest. Just continue until next week and see how. Just need to give her more instructions.
As for bank account, ocbc is better. They have more branches. So we chose it for convenience sake.
Hoshi: Apparently real confinement is 40 days. My mum already warned me that I have to be on confinement diet for another 12 days. But I think for #1, I always get hb to sneak in food for me after 28 days.
