Haiz.being a ftm alrdy nt easy..yet our parents give us stress..I feel lk I gg crazy alrdy.I'm afraid of haven post natal depression sia..my mum is juz so stubborn..then she will say..u go ask ard who will fo like this..then will also say my mil will nt b happy..but I knw my mil is nt as traditional as her..haiz..i can understand all ur pain even tho i have hired CL and also have maid to help me...>.<
my own issue is with my mum, my mum came from Taiwan to SG to stay for a mth to see her grandkids and also take care of me, but as Taiwan traditions are different from SG or different from my CL, she then created many problems for me. My husband actually requested to work at home this mth to help so i can have enough rest, but because of my problematic mum, I have to be awake to keep an eye on her so that she wont make things difficult for CL and maid when my hubby went out to do grocery shopping. She stayed at my place for only 6 days, almost everyday she either rebuke my CL or insist want us to follow her way which make CL v confused. A v gd eg, my mum insisted babies to cover with 2-3 layers of cloth without switch on e fan, as she said if not babies will catch cold, but ended up we were scolded by nurse when we bring kids to see PD, nurse said we covered babies with too many layers to make them have heat rashes all over, upon hearing what nurse said, my mum kept quiet and nothing to say................now my mum has left my place, e amt of rest i have in 2 days was more than what i have in those 6 days she was with us...tho it's sad to say that, but i am more relax without her ard >.<
to all mummies, rest enough and do ur best...dont worry abt milk supply or stress urself, it will not only affect urself but also ur e
other half, so stay cheerful and be a happy mum to ur babies!!! =)
