How to deal with paggro mother just cos you don’t listen to everything she says?? Thanks in advance

I know it’s out of concern but it has become quite extreme like insisting that I buy expensive bird’s nest for myself and when I commented I’d rather spend on other things, she started become passive aggressive and say ok next time don’t have to give me advice etc, don’t need to listen to what she says. And then when she saw me drinking yakult she nagged at me SO MUCH, says ok don’t listen to me then. #advicepls Don’t know how to deal with this!!! It’s just gonna get worse next time if I don’t listen to any of her “baby advice”

Suggest you talk to your mother about this. It seems she wants to be extremely involved with your pregnancy, but feels rejected by you whenever you dont listen to her so she feels unhappy and complains. You should calm down and pacify her at least once, but then also immediately let her know that you feel very stressed by pregnancy already without all the rules, and whenever possible, use the doctor as your shield. If she still continues her way, then paggro back (and it doesnt have to make sense- the more nonsensical the better🤣🤣🤣). Paggro people often cannot tahan a return paggro attack and so if she paggro you and say you never listen to her etc, you paggro her back lor, maybe something like "OK lor, I will tell my doctor my mother say DONT listen to you, if doctor prescribe medicine i will definitely not buy bcuz u prefer i buy birds nest instead, Ill DEFINITELY listen to you okay? 🙂 If anything happen to baby dont worry I will just blame you ya". LOL throw the ball back to her court. If you can't use the doctor as shield, then use the baby, your husband, or even your mother in law as shield. If she complain about them, just tell her paggro-ly that you will let them know about what she said de. Usually ppl only dare to make remarks about their own daughter but dont dare to offend other people.
