no help rendered from inlaw and parent

Both my inlaw and parent have already stated very clearly that they will not want to help out take care of my baby whom is arriving next month. To be frank, im so relieved. Because it gave me abundant time to think of alternatives, infant care or convert to be a SAHM. I would like to seek advise if anyone here has encountered same issue? If yes, what are your choices?

Me! My Husband n I work really long hours (10-10kind) so IFC and/or nanny is out n we don’t really wanna hire a helper cos there’s no one at home to supervise her with baby. Even though all our parents didn’t explicitly say they don’t want to help take care of our baby (both dads retired, both mums working), they didn’t offer to help either. So in the end, I quit to stay home and tc of baby myself. It’s very very tiring but extremely rewarding at the same time! I feel like the only way you can ensure that your kid is raised exactly the way how you wish for him/her to be raised is by raising him/her yourself! Sometimes we just don’t agree with other people’s way of taking care of children!
