The way I see it, mommy, you've already given your mom several chances for her to respect you as the parent of your child. You're an adult, married, with your own career, and a child of your own. You should be able to decide how you parent without anyone questioning it as long as you're not doing anything wrong. Kahit na sya ang nanay mo, kailangan nyang maintindihan na hindi nya dapat kinokontra ang mga desisyon nyo as long as your baby is safe, happy, and healthy. Bilang nanay mo, dapat alam nya hanggang saan lang sya. Especially sa kwento mo pa, it's not a good environment for your baby na may nag-aalitan sa paligid nya.
It's ok to set boundaries. Mukhang kailangan na physical distance muna, that's fine para kumalma muna kayo both sides. Then when you feel ready, talk to her about it calmly but stay firm. Siguro nasa culture kasi natin na sumunod sa magulang pero bilang magulang ng adult, dapat marealize ng mom mo na may sarili ka nang buhay, sariling diskarte, and in fact maganda ngang sign na independent ka na ngayon kasi ibig sabihin she did her job well enough in the past to raise you in such a way that you don't need her all the time, di ba?
