Stress

I'm currently staying with my mother in law. I was planning to do 100days instead of 1st month because I feel have more time to prepare and would be easier in terms to booking venue and stuff. however, my mil is against the idea and insist on celebrating baby's 1st month. tried to explain to her our concern (financially) but she still kind of wants her way. don't wish to go against that because I'm worry might be seeing her black face... but I feel, baby is mine, so me and my husband should have th say instead of her. :/ I feel so not respected as my LO's parent.....

Did u guys find out why she's so against 100 days celebration? I feel the older generation still prefer 1 month celebration as opposed to 100 days mainly because it's traditionally associated to funerals... Maybe can try explaining to her in another way that 100 days celebration also means 百岁宴 wishing the baby can live till 100 years old. Sometimes it's a lot of superstition and just depends how people see it.

There’s no Chinese tradition of 100 days. That’s Korean / Japanese tradition and current trend. So obviously to older folks that’s not acceptable.
