I need someone to talk to...

I've been in almost the same situation, In my whole pregnancy journey I lived with my Husbands parents, they were very helpful even before I got pregnant, but when I gave birth I chose to stay at my Parents place since I don't want to be a burden knowing it's my first time having a baby, (and I also know my only-child-Husband grew up with his grandmother and his parents doesn't know how to take care of newborn child, I also noticed it on my 4days staying with them after childbirth, that they believe more on superstitious beliefs and I needed a company that knows really well on taking care of my newborn) my mother-in-law suddenly talked about me being rude and all that "I didn't directly told her I'm going home and that I want to rest at my parents home" and I was so shocked what else she said. After Christmas my Husband and I decided we'd spend new year with them, after new year we needed to go back to my parents because my Dad's going to US and he wants to see my child before his flight so I sat down beside her and explained thoroughly every little details why I needed to go home. But after we got there my MIL messaged my Husband again saying random hurting words again, saying I don't have good manners and with the same issue saying I'm rude as I didn't say "We're going now" before I went inside the taxi, I was very tired that day since they didn't let me sleep and I had only 3 hrs sleep at night, (they are early birds so when they're awake you should also be awake, since you will hear the nagging about being lazy early morning) I was sleepy then so I didn't know I didn't get to say that. I was very sad and I told my Husband she'll gonna be the reason for my postpartum depression, she's selfish and has no considerations, so I decided not to go back there. I still don't talk to my MIL I'm really hurt until now, even when they want to be with my child I can't go back and I don't wanna go back, better we don't see each other so we won't have any issues or we won't have any more issues. But despite that, I'm grateful that I have my very understanding Husband, he comforts me, provide all of our needs and love us unconditionally, and We're so lucky to have him 💟

I feel that this is the moment that both of you needs to talk by heart. But before doing so, talk to God muna. Pray. Ask for guidance and wisdom amidst this difficulty. Wag ka mag-rely sa sabi-sabi. She is your mom and though she may have said things you still cant change it. Tell her what you feel and how you feel abt your present situation. I get you, my parents are always behind my back to support me and my husband. From the wedding day, to finding a house near my parents' and to paying some of the bills because were still starting our family. I felt we were closer than before because of my baby (I am 13 weeks and 6 days atm). Wag mo i-keep to yourself lahat especially you just gave birth. Nevermind the rest who says they did this and that. We are all in different situations at mas pinapahirap pa to ng global pandemic. Cry if you must pero at the end of the day make a plan to make amends sa kanya. Life is super short, we are one of the lucky people who have parents that support us. Kaya mo yan! 💪🏻

Para sakin momsh, di ko masisisi mommy mo kung magkgnyan man sya. Kasi bilang may family kna on ur own, you should learn and know your responsiblities not unlike nung dalaga ka pa. As much as possible nkakahya naman na tlgang dumaing at lumapit sa magulang kung may asawa na kasi nsa isip ng magulang sympre, nagasawa ka, dapat kaya kang buhayin ng asawa mong lalaki. Don't get me wrong pero sana makuha mo ang point ko. Ska wala namang masama kung ibalik mo yung ngastos ng parents mo kasi primarily, sa panganganak, dapat naman talaga both husband and wife ang mkpgprovide, hindi magulang. Kasi for me nkakahiya yun. Kung magsabi nmn sila na "its ok, wag nyo nalang intndhin yun" then ok nga yun db..(sana all, sabi nga nila) pero kung gnyan na pinparamdam talaga na kelangan nyong ibalik, then you need to do that first thing and foremost, para wala na ding maging issue. Jan kasi mgsisimula yung pwedeng may masabi sa asawa mo, sympre sya ang lalaki. Tndaan natin, iba ang dalaga sa may-asawa. I hope na mlmpasan nyo din yan ng hubby mo.

Yung parents feeling nila bragging rights kapag sila nagbabayad. Di nila pansin na minsan foul rin kasi bad image satin. Napansin ko rin yan sa Parents ko, kaya I swore na I'll pay for ours, if not majority samin and konti sa kanila kasi bumababa tingin nila samin. Hindi man sinasadya yung mga sinasabi nila pag nakatalikod minsan pati nakaharap... Negative pa rin ang effect sa ming magasawa kaya di na namin hinahalo sila. Let it go. Alam ko nagtatampo ka sa mama mo pero kaya niya lang nasabi yon kasi in a way, natutuwa rin yon na nasa life mo pa siya, sadly iba lang talaga yung way nag pagsasalita niya.. At ang parents lalo na pag naging grand parents, mas mag offer financially yan Lalo na pag close kayo talaga may ipon ka man o wala o mayaman. Ingat lang sa pag accept ng financial kasi desisyon niyo dapat mag asawa yan. May masasabi pa rin yan tungkol sa asawa.

natural lang siguro sa mom mo ang magsabi ng ganun although hindi naman direct mo marinig yun kase sinabi lang sayo pwedeng dagdag bawas din kung anong sinabi ng mom mo kaya intindihin mo nalang, may reason naman sya bakit nya sinabi yun kase dapat obligasyon niyong dalawa ng asawa mo ang gastusin ng baby mo, sa hospital bills at gamit ni baby,.. yung asawa ko hindi malaki ang kita nya, ako din naman pero pinaghandaan namin ang panganganak ko emergency cs pa ako, gumawa kami ng paraan hindi namin inasa sa magulang ang responsibilidad since kami naman ang gumawa ng bata at hindi ang magulang ko,.. kahit gamit ng anak ko sariling sikap, yung iba bigay lang ng barkada ng asawa ko hindi lahat bago.. yung father ko minsan nag volunteer sya bumili ng gatas at diaper.. ok lang sis kung paminsan minsan tumulong din mom mo wag naman lahat inasa nyo sa kaniya sobra naman..

Sis, bakit kasi kayo umaasa sa magulang mo? Nakakagigil po. Student lang po ako sis, 22 ako 21 partner ko. Pero alsm mo, as soon as mabuntis ako, nagrent na po kami. 5 months ako now, yung ipon namin? 50k na po. Ang goal is 200k before my EDD. Plus, I have 70k sa SSS kasi po maximum contribution ako and working student po ako. Never ako umasa sa iba. Tbh po, di pa alam ng family ko 😊 lahat po ng gamit namin sa rinerent namin, inonti onti po namin. Makakabili na nga kami ng gamit ng baby soon. And sa mall kami bibili also panganagnak budget ko is 100k po provate OB. Nakakahiya ka po mamsh... Wag ka na umasa sa parents mo. Biglaan pagkabuntis ko ah. Student po ako ah. Isipin mo po kami ng partner ko kinaya naman namin na itago hangganh ngayon. Lahat po ng gastod nang gagaling lng po samin...

The moment I learned I was pregnant, we started saving for my delivery because I don't want to ask for help from my mother. Dun din ako nagstay 1 month after manganak. Siya din nagsuggest kasi para daw makapagpahinga ako at makakain ng masusustansiya. Pero never ako humingi sa kanya ng pera. Kaya sabi ko sa husband ko, magipon kami for CS, pasiguro lang. Pero thankfully nainormal ko kaya yung natira, pinambili naman additional gamit ni baby. My point is, hindi ka naman agad agad manganganak, bakit di kayo nakapagipon kahit 50% ng gagastusin? Pareho naman kayo may trabaho. Bakit lahat shoulder ni mama mo? Kung ako kay mama mo, makakarinig din kayo sakin kasi. Wag feeling entitled.

Hi, mahirap talaga ang mag ka utang na loob kahit sa kapamilya mo pa mismo. Im 9 montgs pregnant now and planning na manganak sa public kase mura lang or almost walang babayaran. Student palang kase si hubby. Ako naman nag homebased ako for 3 months. Para may pang anak at bili ng gamit. Thou may kaya ang sister ko at family ng hubby ko. Pero ayaw ko pa din mag depend sakanila kase pareho kame ni hubby na ayaw na baka may masabi sila pag dating ng araw ganun. After mo mag recover mommy try home-based job. Para matulungan mo si hubby na mabayaran yung mga utang niyo. Mahirap kapag nasira ang reationship niyo ni madear dahil lang sa pera.

Gaano po ba kahirap mag ipon kung nakikitira ka lang naman po sa nanay mo? Sorry ah pero 9 months ang pagbubuntis, wala man lang kayo naipon? Lahat po may pinag dadaanan na pagsubok pero hindi iyun excuse. Magulang na kayo eh. Ano yan, ganyan na lang habang buhay? Paano niyo paaaralin yan? Ako sis, 24 ako nabuntis. Wla kami ipon pero di kami umasa sa magulang namin. Proud ako samin ng asawa ko kasi sobrang pinaghandaan po namin yan. Ngayon po nasa 5 yrs old na baby ko... Handa na kami sa future niya at may educational plan na agad siya. Para kahit ano mangyari, may funds siya
