Rant - setting boundaries

Everytime I tell them not to, I will explain why I don’t give certain foods (eg chocolate, caffeinated stuffs etc). My mil and grandma always tries their luck, so I would often just say out “No” to my LO then tell the elderlies the reason but i talked nicely (but if its just my own family, im usually more stern if they tried to tell me “alittle bit nvm la”. I have never shouted or raised my voice to my mil. She always like to put candy inside her mouth and bite half then feed my LO 🙄 (it’s unhygienic and I said NO candy). There was once during gathering of both families, my grandma gave my LO caffeinated drink which I already told her many times NOT TO so I raised my voice at her (my mil was carrying my LO), then took LO away. My mil was shocked after that lol. Since then, both of them will always ask my LO to “ask mummy can eat anot” and if I said no, she will keep away, likewise if other guest is there and tried to give food, they will ask them to ask me first. (I don’t care if they are doing it out of sarcasm or what, as long as they follow my instructions will do.) End of the day, be firm, be strict. No need to bother whether they will be unhappy or not because end of the day, all they did was feed LO while the one suffering is LO and you. Are they gonna help take care of LO when he/she is sick? Or can they take the sickness to their own body? No. My baby, my rules, my responsibility.

Honestly, nothing can knock sense to MIL. Theyre just in their own world. Very very hard to talk some sense into them. They think theyre always right. If it always happen i would just stick with my baby and not let her take my baby.

It can be tough, but open communication about your concerns with your MIL and suggesting alternative bonding activities might help reinforce your boundaries for your LO. 🎄 https://gangstarapk.net/gangstar-vegas-mod-apk/

Be super firm. No means no. Some ppl only listens when we are harsh.
