Hi Mummies
I have a 4 month old baby and my mum takes care of him while I work.
My hubby and I earn above average pay and should do quite well except that he gives his mum a lot of money each month. While his siblings only give $200 each month, he gives $800 and that's not including paying for their insuarance, giving them treats, etc.
My mum gets $500 from him for taking care of our son and his parents did not offer to help. His parents work, so can't blame them but they are also incompentent in taking care of my son. When my son cried, they pushed him back to me, they did not know how to handle at all. When I offered to let them take care of him overnight, since they seemed to get jealous that my son liked my mother, they said they need their sleep.
Last night, I had a big fight with my hubby over finances. He doesn't save for the future and gives his parents a lot when they are not poor. And my anger had to do with the fact that my parents-in-law push baby to my parents because they don't want the 'hardship' of taking care of baby yet still want to say my parents this and that. I really hate it. My hubby and I are having cold war now, cos he thinks I am unreasonable. But I got to think about my son's future right?
