Hi mummies, want to know how you all handle with the conflict with your mil. We arranged our mil to come Singapore to help us take care of my LO but many conflicts happen since day 1. It was suppose a happy thing for my husband and I on the delivery of our baby but in fact the arguments never stop.. Honestly I do appreciate my mil for sacrificing to come over to take care my mil (my mil is from Malaysia). But sometimes I always have conflict with her, I'm not sure whether I'm too stubborn or over protective on my baby. When I saw something that's not right, I'll voice out. But old woman are always sensitive especially my mil is a single mother. She get very offensive with my words. Her 6 months with us, she always like to tell us she wan to go back Malaysia. She actually promised us that she'll help us to take care my LO till March 2022, that's why I postpone my ifc enrolment till next year. But she's keep saying that she want to go back Malaysia after every argument with me. To me, she's threatening me. My husband and I feel very suffer when she say that as our financial is very tight and both of us need to work. We definitely need someone to help us take care our LO. But when I say something that's not on my mil's flavour, she get very offensive and start to say she wan to go back Malaysia. Today, we quarrel again, as I having a dinner with my friend, my mil didn't give my LO fruit puree. Usually my LO puree time is about 6pm to 7pm. For me, once the fruit puree is introduced, it has to continue (correct me if I'm wrong). For my husband and my mil, they don't see the fruit puree is a necessary. I can feel that my mil is not agree with the fruit puree (maybe because it's my idea). My mil even comment 'baby eat the fruit puree will become more clever?'. Seriously I'm very uncomfortable with the words she say so. My mil now say that she don't want to help us take care my LO during nighttime after this aurgument. I really feel very dissapointed and stressed by my mil. Mummies, please let me have your opinion... Tell me if I'm correct to insist that the fruit puree to continue on daily basis or am I a stubborn mummy and make the whole words suffer?
