I started wondering now what I should let my mom do when she's with us.
My mom offers to come over to help me for taking care our newborn baby. It's of good intention but it gets tricky when it actually happens.
I really don't know if she could be any help to us but babysitting so that we could go out for grocery shopping and dine out.
First, I should feed the baby most of the time, she could only give the baby a bottle occasionally.
Second, my mom can't cook dinner for my hu*****and. He won't like the way she cooks. We can't eat Chinese style food my mom is used to make. And my mom doesn't know how to iron my hu*****and's dress shirts and pants correctly and polish his shoes. I still have to do all these by myself.
Then, where should I put my significant other in this setting? He's supposed to get used to be a daddy, not just a sidekick to the rest of us. We may have to sacrifice some privacy and hide our intimacy from my mother. It'll be quite awkward. I want my hu*****and be happy and involved with the baby so much.
I feel regret to concur with my mom to let her coming to our home but it's too late. I'm no longer the same person to her like what we were a decade ago. Time and space worked its course. The center of my life has shifted so much that it's hard to place my mother in the whole picture. Oops. I don't want to blow this out though to make everyone in the house unhappy. Why bother, mom?
