Hi all, feeling stressed now...
Hired this nice confinement lady to help care for the twins together with my MIL. She's pretty good with the babes and cooking and even takes initiative to keep the house clean.
However my mum, who when she came to visit, started critisizing her way of doing things eg. insist she handwash babes clothes everyday, must use this pot or that pot to cook soup, all the minor, minor stuff... later mum even called me to complain about her on the phone...
But the point is i feel that this CL is already doing quite well, and to mum's constant complaints I just reply 'ok ok' hoping to pacify her. Even my hubby is not happy with my mum already, thinking she's over interfering with the way Cl/we do things. I'm like KIAP in the middle.
Really donno what to do...
Got a shock just now.. stupid me actually went to ask CL nicely if she can handwash babe's clothes (only a few) everyday like my mum requested, but CL appeared very cold and say she'll only work till next week cos she oredi stated she won't be handwashing any clothing. She say she's already washing babes clothes everyday with the washing machine. I guess my mum got it wrong...
Yah, i think i'm a coward but i scared CL will show me 'face-colour' or ill-treat the babes or decided not to do so much...
Need advice: how do u keep a nagging/interfering mum at bay and not offend her at the same time? Sorry for the long rant...
