Rants from a FTM

Hi mamas. Just wanna rant here. I’m currently staying with my husband & mil together with my baby. I have no issues with my mil prior arrival of my baby. However, nowadays my mil has a habit of passing remarks about my baby which is deemed unnecessary & annoying? Such as when my baby’s crying hysterically out of the blue she would literally say ‘diam’ as in quiet. I’ve been hearing this & I feel like I should address it to her. Like seriously you’re asking a baby to shut up when their only form of communication is crying? It’s like people asking you to shut up when you’re talking? Sometimes she would also comment ‘so teruk’ meaning ‘so bad’ when baby is crying. Honestly, it’s annoying & if I were to answer her back, I’m afraid I would be disrespectful .

I would be annoyed and also concerned too, definitely wouldn’t want to leave the baby with her alone lol. Does your husband also hear her saying that? Might be better if he tells her instead to stop doing that

Its very important to also communicate and inform your husband on this. Atleast he knows whats going on and usually it must be own son talk to mother then the mother will listen. If we talk she will say we rude lah talk back lah
