Maybe can try to understand her ‘reason’ as to WHY she needs to prepare 30-40 mins ahead rather than prepare right before. Listen to her point of view and tackle from there. Or else, get your hubby or someone whom you think she ‘might’ listen to, get this person to advise her on this.
try to create a fake story like the milk spoil already. or purposely say to your child (with her hearing) poor thing, need to drink milk that was left out for so long. not fresh. 😆 maybe she will get pissed and start preparing it last min then 😅
too bad most grannies are like that. not only MIL, your own mother may also do that. cause they think they have more experience than you. and maybe that's how they brought you up. I think if it makes you uncomfortable, better send to infant care
I think if we are paying money for an outsider to take care, at least we can voice our opinions and they are obliged to listen. grannies? no.. you have to listen to them instead.
Hi, Yes this is very normal experience for almost all of us as they think that they are experienced so they know better. Better to tell your husband to speak politely to his mom regarding this
