How to handle these problems/situation?

Problems caused by my husband due to dinner gathering at 99 & 62 home tonight.

99 asked us where I will plan to stay after giving birth of my baby? My husband told her that I will stay at my mummy's home. Problem 1 came out. She said according to family tradition, I should stay at my home for 1st month and she will come to help me. Query 1 - from past experience, her daugther and 1st daughter-in-law did not get these treatment. So I don't expect she will say so, I have employed a maid at my mummy's home to serve as baby sitter or helper to let my mummy to take care of my baby girl. (Well, 99 didn't ask me the matter about the arrangement of taking care of my baby girl afterwards within these 9 months, so I did not tell her anything about this arrangement and the arrangement is strongly agreed by my husband)

How can I reject her decision? (my husband told me that 99 & 62 do really want to help me and they want to visit their granddaughter anytime)
But I really afraid I can't manage a good relationship with them especially the critical period (just after my give birth to a new born baby) and how to tell them I have employed a maid at my mummy's home. I afraid 99 will think I treat my mummy better than her.

Problem 2 arised - the name of my baby girl. My husband continued to ask 99 & 62 the comment about our decision of my baby girl. We suppose they will not give any comment since from past experience the elder brother of my husband did his own decision on his baby boy's name without asking comment/ permission from 99 & 62. Unfortunately, 99 told me the name in her own provincial langage and mandarin, the sounding of baby name will in the conflict with 99's brother and 99. Only the same sound not same words!!!!!!!!!!
She said it is impossible to use the name. My Husband asked 99 to choose a name for the baby (my Husband did not yet tell me his move before he spoke out this suggestion)

At that moment, I feel very terrible and being tricked by my husband. From past experience, my husband will always stand with me, stay with myside. Today, his performance is rare and scared me now.

Apart from this, my husband told me he have take a month leave to stay with me to go though the 1st month of our new born baby before. Sadly, he asked my pardon to let him to go to do some his own business within this period 2 night before. I did give support to me to do so for the sake of better future of our family - my husband, me and baby. But Now I Really Regret to let Him to be since I have a Hard Feeling that all is planned by Him.

How can handle these problems / Situation? :-( :-( :-( :-( :-( :-(

Re: How to handle these problems/situation?

purplemummy

No one will know your real situation in your both family, but I can say that no one will take care you better than your own MOM. That's true, no matter how good of your 99, 62. The feeling is difference, especially on your weakness period and emotional period after give birth. If your husband agreed to let you stay there, that is better keep on to do so, really especially on your 1st month.

But 長遠計, I wonder why not to employ maid on your own home, that is good for you to see baby even if you need to work later on. (I don't know whether u need to work.) You may ask your mom to come or even living at yours home if enough space.

About the name, I think it just let your husband go, let their family to take it. They like to do so as they will talk about this and proud on this until the end of the world (that is my experience). Just share with you.

Re: How to handle these problems/situation?

你都就黎生bb唔好唔開心啦 :lol: 其實在傳統上剛生完bb真係唔好去外家的 (不過你媽咪唔介意就無問題啦 , 但我媽咪都會介意, 所以我坐月時都係媽咪黎我家住/幫手到過左一個月後先搬返媽咪到住的 :lol: 我個人認為姑勿論62/99是否真的一個好幫手都好, 都要當佢地幫唔到手論, 咁到時又唔會唔開心, 又唔會有咩爭嗌, 其實點都好, 都係自己個家舒服d, 所以我都會建議你留在家中修身養息好過搬一大堆野去媽咪家住 另外, 你個工人有無陪月/湊初生經驗呀 有的話佢會係一個好幫手, 個時我個工人佢真係好掂架, 所以我基本上都唔使咩人幫不過媽咪都有過黎跟下眼咁我就會多左時間休下息囉

Re: How to handle these problems/situation?

upon seeing your posting, I 'm upset as my past unhappiness also being recalled.

I think, most of the mom got similar situation / problem before....so, you're right to share over here...

I supported that it was difficult to stay with 99 and 62 during the critial period as you described, but, is it necessary to let them know that she had hired a maid for your mommy? other than talking about the 'good' feeling to stay with maiden family, could you get other evidence / excuse to support your decision? such as more people to help? for example your siblings? is it close to the hosp? you can stay with your mommy even prior to the days of delivery?
you need to convince 99 & 62 that it is a good arrangement and let them know, you really appraise that they 'want to help'.... and, promise that they could visit their granddaughter without any difference you need to control your temper and aware of the wording in talking about these, it's better to let your husband to do

for the name of the baby, let them to talk and discuss, no need to confirm so early, you can make the final decision as you're the mom of the baby....you go to take the birth cert. right?

the most important is, be relax, remember that you're pregnant.....and
to talk with your husband, let him know more about you feeling, ensure he understand your request...hope that your problems would be solved very soon......

Re: How to handle these problems/situation?

Thank you for all advices.

I have told my mummy about the arrangement requested by 99 and my mummy did accept but she expected my husband will tell her in person. Last night, my husband came to my mummy home for dinner and picked me up but reluntant to say anything about the arrangement. My mummy does feel uncomfortable about his attitude towards this matter. (Well apart from this, their relationship is quite good)

Now, I am very panic that I have to clean up my house even I have to give birth to my baby girl on next Monday. Time is so urge because I have to be arranged to check-in to hospital on this Saturday and stay until Monday's operation. I afraid I can't finish all cleaning jobs before this weekend. It may be my fault that I am a shopping addict and within my pregnancy I do not dare to move anything in my house except necessary things (I have a bad experience that I have miscarriage 2 years ago and I maybe so irrationally to blame the cause of the miscarriage is due to I have moved my things and have a big clean-up during the early stage of pregnancy. And the issue why I have to do so was my 99 said she would come to my house to help me to clean my house for my sake.)

I feel very uncomfortable to do the cleaning but I have to...... since my 99 will tell 62 and other people that my house condition and so many clothes as gossip. ( I have heard a lot of similar gossip before) And also both my mummy and 99 do have the same religious belief and common friends. I don't want my mummy to lose face due to me. I will keep on to clean up my house and hide the 'collection' - my clothes, shoes, handbag......

For the employment of maid, how can I tell 99 & 62 about this matters without let them feeling I am using too much $ (although the$ is earned and paid by me not my husband in this aspect) Since after I changed my job to self-employed instead of regular paid 3 years ago, I do not pay them a regular household expense. But we do pay them $ on festivals e.g. Lunar New year, Birthday, Father's Day ....... Although the annual payment of irregular household expense to 99 surely more than the previous regular payment, I still afraid that 99 & 62 will have a bad feeling towards my arrangement of employing a maid to take care my baby and placing the maid and baby to my mummy home.

Apart from this, I also afraid my 99 will suggest me to place my baby to 99's another daughter-in-law for sake of helping the finance condition of 99's elder son. 99's another daughter-in-law i.e. my sister-in-law is taking care of her own son (age 8) and recently she has taken care of a child of her husband's friend for half day including feeding dinner to the child for about $1800/month. Before I have this baby, once my mummy told me that my 99 has said that she will suggest me to let my sister-in-law to take care of my baby to let their financial condition be better off. I really be frightened towards this suggestion since I do not accept my sister-in-law as a qualified baby-sitter for my baby !!!!!!!!!!!!! maybe I am so cheap to look down her but I don't want to bet my baby's health, future and..... on the hand of someone I don't agree her method of taking care of baby and children.

At this moment, I know I should take more rest and relax but my concern, my fear do let me being sleepless......... :cry:

Alan : asks your husband to stay; you definitely need his support during the period

Alan : I'm afraid that you are a little bit over nervous. Pls remain calm/peaceful.

Re: How to handle these problems/situation?

I felt that you are very sensitive and anxious, agreed with alan, see whether it's possible to move the maid to stay at your home (might need to change the address on the contract in advance)...

I wonder, why you said that your sister-in-law is not qualified even she had experience in taking care of children? but to prefer the maid!!!!! is there any evidence to support your comment?

BTW, it seemed that not only the relationship problems you needed to handle, your collection behaviour, so called ' shopping addict ' seemed also a problem

Re: How to handle these problems/situation?

Thank you for Alan's advice.

Now, I asked my maid to stay with me for the 1st month and will stay at mummy's home afterwards. Since my job is a financial consultant and my husband is working shift too both of us do not have fixed working hours. Especially for me, mostly I have to meet my clients after office working hours, so I prefer to stay my baby with mummy's house to let her have a better and stable environment. I have planned to stay at mummy's home afternoon. So this arrangement is agreed with my husband, my mummy and my daddy.

For the question why I can't trust my 99 another daughter-in-law (i.e. my sister-in-law), the things I consider is that

1. Her son not raised by herself but with the help of her mother (she is at the same age with me and full time housewife) Before they immigrated from Shenzhen to Hong Kong, sister-in-law asked her mother to live with her at Shenzhen and after she moves to Hong Kong her mother continues to come to Hong Kong by the 3-month visa up to now.

2. On the 1st month of her son, she told me there occurred one accident that her baby was choked by blanket while she was at toliet and she blamed that 99 did not take care of the baby.

3. Her health condition is not so good that she has history of cancer and need medication.

4. She does not know English so that her son can trick her even at his K1 Level to fool her the pronunciation between some simple words e.g. Pan vs Man. Her son is ranked 90 among the whole P2 at this year end examination.

Honestly I trust the one is my mummy, not the maid, but I will depend the maid to do the daily baby care under the supervision of my mummy. This is the main reason why I employ a maid at my mummy home to take care daily housework of baby and my parents. And my mummy will take the main job of supervision of the maid and give instruction to maid to smooth the daily housework and safeguard of my little baby.

由 ellislui 於 2006-08-17 16:20:55

BTW, it seemed that not only the relationship problems you needed to handle, your collection behaviour, so called ' shopping addict ' seemed also a problem
---------------------------------------------------------

I am totally agreed with elislui's advice, I am the one buying the same item with all the colors at the same time to satisfy my shopping addict. But after I have my pregnancy, I found the behaviour is changed and I will choose not to buy if I can't determine which color is better and will stop to buy items when I do not know whether I really need them.

Even for the baby items, I prefer to drop down the price and compare the most reasonable one and go back to buy the items afterwards. The impulse buying behaviour is changing progessively. It may be due to my concern to save up $ for baby and her future learning especially I have chosed to save up $15000 per month for her education fund through saving plan for investment. And I really enjoy the save up process and proud of doing so now.
