We will buy all d necessities tat my boy needs, all they need to do is to play wif him & feed him.

This is a different issue,any amount u give her is ur "xin yi",if want to have dinner must let her know,so that no misunderstanding .I think the price is fine.

sounds like your mother in law is not calculative if she returned you the
1k for comfinement. $800 sounds reasonable and should be ok should she choose to cook dinner for u and hubby, once in a while, take her out for dinner. I m sure she'll appreciate.

We gave her the pay she earns before that. Cos she quitter her job just to look after baby. And on top, give her the parents token and our share of food and bills.
