Rant. My own mother got upset with me because I don’t follow her “advice” and have my “own ideas”

And told me that she’s losing excitement being a grandmother because of that. I got v upset and haven’t replied her since. Stuff like she wanted me to take tonic soups but I said better not to take herbs from what I see even in this app, then even confinement nanny I wanted agency instead of finding freelance, she said last time people got freelance good enough etc. Don’t know how to deal with her! 😖

Well, the moment you start “threatening” me, I won’t bother anymore. But make sure you don’t suddenly get excited when you see baby. I know you meant good but if I got my own preference, do respect it. If she insist on freelance, take a sum of money from her, tell her in case Freelance didn’t appear/many problems, you will use the money to re-engage one since she insisted on freelance.

Thanks for the reply 🫶🏻 good idea😂

you can let her know that agency is regulated and in case of anything thay happens, you can lodge a complaint to the agency. but if freelance, if they decided to take your job but dont turn up, then GG. one of my friend got this and its so stressful esp cos its nearing her edd and getting a replacement so last min is tough

Yes exactly that’s what I said.. and then it just goes out of her ear and she just thinks I’m not listening to her :(

If currently ure pregnant, better dun take herbs. Some herbs will cause miscarriage. 2 things my gynae told me not to take is raw food & herbs. Dun make urself angry, baby is URS, u definitely have the right to decide for urself and ur child. Jiayou!! 💪🏻
