Another question : hv yr MIL helped u during yr confinement?

MIL did try to help as DS is the first grandson. But I got my mom to be my confinement lady, so MIL just guest appearance. She did get me lotsa pork & chicken :faint: but endup pissed me off with her comments. Not a meat person, I dun consume a lot and she would claimed who & who ate 1 whole chicken in a day during confinement while I would take >3 days.
And during DS's feeding time, MIL would hissed that I'm starving the grandson & tried to stop me from breastfeed as I dun have enough nutrition :mad:

Really too much! :mad:

My MIL didn't even lift a finger or show up at my place during confinement.. ...

She was there only during the baby full month celebration for drama though.. :mad:

Since we are SAHMs, am wondering if ur MIL helps out when u r sick?

Let’s twist the question a little… Would you accept gifts from your MIL? And would you want your MIL to help in confinement or when your kids fall sick?

Haiz.. as for me, to cut long story short - my 1st confinement was a great havoc wif my \"so-called\" helpful MIL but ended wif no knowledge of how to do for me. Juz one of the many happenings is that i drank plain water for abt 1-2 weeks until 1 kind relative of mine told me that i shld be drinking longan and red dates tea.

As for gifts, i cant even recall if there's or do u consider buying food as gift.

My DD was always taken care by me especially when she is sick coz there's a occasion where she fell sick even longer when my MIL is caring for her :frustrated: and another time is that she even fainted in her hse!!

My MIL always MIA when i am sick (did not bother to offer to come over to help) and my hubby has to take leave to care for my kids.... really feel so sad at times!! :sad:

Touchwood...If I'm sick, I rather go to my mum's place with the kids...take 2 panadol and sleep. If the kids are not well, hubby & I will take turns to wake up to monitor them. If THE MIL is one type I rather not have around when I'm happy and well, will I want her around when kids are sick ??
I'm a doctor to my kids and hubby at home...don't need her around to give me crap.
