Hippo, My hubby said give my MIL 500 for babysitting, stay overnite. Haha. I told hubby firmly that we'll not hire any maid. Cos if she wants a maid, I'll stay home to babysit.
Cos every mth hubby gotta pay for his parent's house, pay the electricity bills, still give them 500 to spend. Every time they still say not enough. Imagine my MIL, she have my FIL give her money, my hubby give her money. No need to do marketing cos she rarely cook, we have to tabao for her dinner. Everytime still not enough.
That's why hubby in some way wanna put baby under their care so we save on babysitting.
My PILs tried to psycho my hubby to ask me to abort the child when they found out I was pregnant. Keep saying "Are you sure you guys are ready for a baby?"
And they told me to stop after this. Such self-centered parents...
My MIL everytime told me I must have a big size baby cos hubby weighs 7 over pounds at birth. But she did nothing loh. Never offer me any tonic and even stop my hubby from buying birdnest for me claiming that I eat those, is I who benefit, not baby.
PLus hubby and I not those big size one, my MIL only knows how to use her mouth, and no action one. That's why alot of times, her words are like bullsh*t to me.
So glad I found you mummies. Cannot talk to hubby about his parent's issue, sometimes I feel so trapped.
Earlier on, so many issue, with morning sickness, my MIL still say my MS nothing one lah. Imagine I can even wake up at 4am to vomit, and she can say that. And with alot of problems, thats why I fall into depression.
Hippo, Wendypooh,
Actually I feel that it's ok to give kids some junk food at times, but of cos not at the age of 6 mths lah. I have my reason for saying that.
My hubby's friend, who nv took any junk food one, sometimes eat Mcdonald fries, or potato chips, next day sore throat liao. But my parents last time buy me junk food to eat, cos they feel that the more you restrict junk food from a child, the more the child might indulge themselves in junk next time when they have their own money. An example is my BIL.
So now when grow up, Me or my friends who eat junks during childhood, can down 1 pack of Lays and no pro with that, except we feel guilty for the calories. Hehe. But on the countary, just a few chips, my hubby's friend fall sick liao. Sometimes I think his life sucks. Cos cannot even eat chocolates. So just sharing my 2 cents on junk food issue...
