inaugural meeting with MIL today…3 of us, MIL, SIL & myself…I’ve already got the sms yesterday, so I was wondering what was that about..u know the agenda :p…well, as what I expected, she drew the line very clear, which is very good and I’m glad she did:
1. She only takes care of baby Mon – Fri, day time. Public Holidays, Weekends – her rest day…well, it’s fair enough, she cant be working 24 hours a day, it’s gonna be bad for her health..The point she said this I think was due to MWah being not understanding and always dump faythe to her…I feel guilty sandwiched in between and cant do anything, but now since she’s voiced out, it’s really a blessing. I can go tell MWah about this condition. Oh..condition is if it’s urgent matters, she won’t mind, but got to let her know earlier.
2. As she claims that she’s a modern mother + grandmother, she would expect us to tell her frankly if any of her traditional (existing) baby care practice that we think it’s contradicting with the modern believes…but she says, got to tell her nicely because she’s a very sensitive person…
Hmm…I’m glad she mentioned bout point 2, but the part that she says she’s sensitive and tell her nicely, sort of made me terasa lahh…well, cause yesterday morning I was asking her if she got put powder on faythe…then I told her we shouldn’t put powder cause can block pores & become more rashes…Probably it was my *dictator* tone that has triggered this sensitive thing…but I swear I wasn’t trying to tell her off or what…it’s just that sometimes my seriousness makes ppl a bit terasa…
anyway, no hard feelings..since she already stated clearly, it’s good….act on it lorr…so from now on, no more cinema, no more shopping (without faythe)….hopefully when the maid comes I’ll have more time to organise things…this reminds me that my gym session that’s gonna start in Jun gonna be big problem…got to lug the baby there as well…
wow… table talk with MIL & SIL… *shudder*
