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 .

What a horrible experience.. I'm sorry you're going through that stress at the moment when it should be enjoyable. I would suggest that you speak to your husband about this and let him understand your concerns as to why you feel such and such. As she is his mother, it is only right for him to be the one to sit down and talk to his mother about her unwanted behaviour. Likewise, if it had been your mother to do those things, it should be your responsibility to sit down and talk to her. All the best!
