Sigh! My mother-in-law...

Last saturday we went to PD and had dinner with his clients and as his uncle also having business with them so his uncle was there too.. anyhow without my concern, my mil following us as well...

Anyone of you have this experience?! When you follow your hubby out for business entertainment he brings his mum along! What a good son... I know he must be very famous among his friends and clients... "A man who bring both wife n mum for meeting, YEAH"

Finally we quarrel simply on this issue.. I was not happy because not being informed about that. Yet he told me he didnt know that his mum is following... PLEASE, ladies, will you all believe?!!!!

My baby is about 8 mths + now. i just started work 2 mths ago and that is when my baby was away from me, taken care by MIL in Johor.

My DIL refuse to let my baby pass to babysitter as she is the first grandchildren they had and according to them its too young and unsafe.

So, now i see my baby once every 2 weeks and i feel we are drifting apart. she is closer to MIL than me. i breastfed her for 6 mths and now she no longer recognise me. btw MIL is really proud that my baby prefers her than me. i was like....okay! i getting back my baby.

the thing is MIL says, if u can persuade DIL to bring her back then go ahead.

well, my MIL is here (she from outstation) and y'day she requested me not to send my bb to bb sitter for 1 day. I know it's a small request and in fact even reasonable but I objected to the idea.
Reason :
1) I just dislike the idea of her taking care of my bb. Maybe I'm being prejudice but she has weird request when I was pregnant. She wanted to bathe my bb with guiness stout during the 1st mth. Oh no, I'm not going to allowed it. So, my worry is that she may simply do something that may not be to my liking if I'm not around. So, I rather send to bb sitter.
2) my mum is also from outstation. In fact, my mum did request me not to send to bb sitter so that she can take care of bb for 1 day but my hubby rejected. So, isn't it fair for me to reject my MIL request too. Fair and square.

What are the ways to our In-Law's Heart? Do feel free to post your suggestions, experience, guidance, comments etc.

As for me, since the day I became a member of my present In-Law's family, I make it a point to note down my FIL and MIL's birthdates as to celebrate for them every year and also the Father and Mother's Day Celebration. I would also takes them out for some outings and food galore with me every now and then when I could afford it.

Both my In-Laws are of the olden days type and so, when they say or teach me on daily life or chores, I would not show them any dislikement but I would question them on anything when I have doubts. I never show them any of my diagreements or dislikes as I know that their intentions are for my own benefit.

Feel free to comment about your mother-in law,maybe u like the way she take good care of your baby or may be u too. :)
