ranting

Really getting annoyed when I wanted to buy a certain brand product (for example shampoo, Diapers, etc) for my baby to use & my mum will be there judging saying expensive doesn't mean it's good, buy the cheapest available one will do etc. when I try to explain why I decided to get the particular brand product, she will NEVER understand and agree..... worst is, we ended up being unhappy w one another lol. Honestly wish she would just keep her comments to herself, I have my reason for choosing certain product and ofcourse I want the best for my newborn ? Anyone facing the same issue?

Hi... my mum likes to comment on things I buy or intend to buy. I listened to her comments, kept quiet and buy what I wanted. No need to explain nor justify. She has her reasoning and I have mine.

Huggs. To me, old folks will not keep their comments to themselves. They want to be heard. Some want control and micro manage as "they know best". Keep calm, smile, ignore and move on. You know the best too!:)

Mine is problem with mil. She will suggest or recommend me but I alway find there is something better. And of cuz I wan give the best to my bb.. bthen she like unhappy also. She thinks she is experienced
