Mother in law’s reaction to me being pregnant for the second time?
1) telling my hub that i should “tie my tubes” in case i get pregnant again. Reason? She doesnt think i’m a good mum based on her standards (need to be like her, she takeaway 1 packet of food, she give to her child then just chew on plain bread and say she always give the best to her children). Lol.
2) We dont stay together. She told me she want to help with my first born, 6 years old now, on sundays. I bring him over. As the weeks go by, she need to broadcast and mention to my hub that she’s helping us take care of our child. After she know about the pregnancy, she told us “ya to you guys good news, but i dont think its good news to me.”
3) She’s worried that we will “trouble” her financially or physically but me and my hub earn comfortable salary and most times, when i have something urgent, my parents are the ones who help out with my firstborn.
4) I dont feel comfortable enough for her to look after my second one also. Like who smacks a 6 year old for spelling a word wrong or for being “noisy” aka singing songs in the living room? Who says “use your brain, dont be stupid” to a primary 1 kid?
5) Today she messaged my hub saying “Please dont bring the baby back” and “ask her mother to take care.” LOL.
Feel unappreciated. CNY i gave her an angbao, her birthday i bring her out to celebrate. Mothers day i even bought gold for her (she just say oh ok i’ll open when i’m free”. I’m not asking her to treat me like royalty but at least dont be so kns right? Just ranting. I know my points are all over the place but yeah. I feel better after yapping about it. Haha. #MotherInLaw
