Monster IL's

I always had a sour relationship with my in-laws. Well, for one, they don't like me. WHY? Because I don't agree with everything they say. Especially, when it comes to making decision for my son. You see, my mother-in-law would always insist that she knows everything. She would even tell me NOT to believe the parenting books I read nor the doctors that I consult every time my son would get sick. According to them, bringing him to the doctors will only make matters worst. WTF?! DOCTORS are there for a reason. They should be the first ones to tell me that.

Just recently, my SIL got pregnant. She was asking me about this and that. One time she mentioned that she would take frequent naps when she's at home. BTW, they're staying at my IL's house. Anyways, I don't know if I would be angry or bitter since I never had the same treatment when I was pregnant with our son. They (MIL and her helper) would wake me up at 6am even though they know that I slept late (around 4am) because of my asthma. Knocking on my door or most of the time, they will just barge in saying " it's bad for the baby when you don't eat breakfast." Though, I'm really not (yet) hungry.

I could still recall the times when they would tell me to eat seafoods or take a stroll in the garden, though I received strict instructions that I should only STAY in bed as I had a "high risk" pregnancy. I don't know their real intention. I would even call my parents and older sister so I could vent out my anger. Finally, when I gave birth, I felt like a prisoner granted the much awaited pardon. I can go home to our house (mine and hubby's)...away from their scrutiny and non-stop meddling.

I thought every thing would stop from there. I guess, I was TOTALLY wrong! It was just the beginning of my life in H_ _ _!!!!
