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.....

I would try to get my spouse to intervene since its his mother. I personally feel that if you give her face now, she might want things to be done her way in the future. I had a similar situation whereby my mil wanted to do things her way but i insisted not to as im the childs mother and she evetually stopped trying to force me to follow her ways. I strongly believe that it is up to the parents to decide anything pertaining to the child.
