My POV on angbaos and CNY, if I’m not doing too well and cannot afford to fork out that sum of money, I won’t attend. Eg we are solely depending on my husband’s pay and his side of relatives have ALOT of kids while I only have 1. I know it’s not supposed to be about money but I won’t put myself in a situation where I have to stress about money because of an event. So now we don’t appear during CNY (relatives), only visiting to families from both side. If they understand they understand, if they want to bad mouth, go ahead. I only see them like once a year (if I do appear)? Else I will probably see them like 10 years later hahaha. Again, this is solely my POV 😃.

Maybe go when after CNY? That way no need to give or receive angbaos, just purely bonding. Maybe check with your mum if she is alright with you bringing your LO to visit your relatives on normal days instead? 😃
