I feel like im in a compressed cooker, anytime going to explode. My no1 is 19mo while no2 is 2mo old, we are staying with my parents. My bro is already 25yo(doing part time job) yet behaves like secondary sch kid, mimic and make fun of all of my actions and what i said. Dad and mum everyday nag about this nag about that, especially my mum, she can scold and nag very well. Both my parents like to criticise and say sarcastic things to us expect those that they dote on. What i teach my kid they also want to interfere, have something to say and criticise. I bought multivitamin for no1, he doesnt want to drink, my mum threw it away telling me that since no1 doesn't like why am i forcing him, so threw it away. Arghhhhhh!!! Both children sleep in aircon room, im afraid they might have dry skin, bought lotion for them, my mum fought over this with me, refused to let them apply and even i apply on them, she got angry and quarrel with me. Hubby knows everything but only thing he tells me is "forget it lo, they(my family members) are like tt wad to do" if not hubby will jus ignore my grumbles and not listen to me/walk away. I am really very irritated and might flare up in anytime soon. How can i calm myself down!!!

So sorry to hear that. Well, I feel that you can enroll your 1st to childcare and baby to infant care. The teachers could teach and guide or take care them. Working mother has more government subsidies. I rather send them to childcare to let them learn and socialize than let them stay at home as I feel your place not so positive for them. For short term, maybe they can help you take care( maybe don't need to spend so much to parent). But for long term, I feel is not a good growing environment for them. While you with them, you got to endure and explain to them. While you with your husband, try to speak to him peaceful but not complaint and nagging style. Try to release positive thinking / spirit or solutions so that your husband could feel you and works with you! Luckily me that I'm not staying with both side parents but I need to handle everything myself. I would try to do everything myself so that I don't need depends on others. Well, Positive attracts positive. Negative loves negative. Jia you mummy!
