I know i'm not the only one that thinks
this is ridiculous rant. Warning it might get long.
Okay so, before I had my daughter I was living with my husband (boyfriend at the time) at his parents house then my mom offered to let us stay in the little house they have in the back because the person that was staying there paying rent was moving so I agreed. She's really old school one of those people that believe after birth a women should have a diet of 40 days which i'm not sure if anyone has heard of it but if you're hispanic i'm sure you know what I'm talking about she said she would make me caldos(home made chicken soup with veggies) and she believes both baby and mom shouldn't go out for those 40 days. I think it's absolutely ridiculous but I hated living with my MIL & in laws and they eventually kicked us out so I agreed. Well she was going to have the house that we were going to stay in repainted with colors of our choice pretty much she lagged to have it painted so when I came home from the hospital I was forced to stay in her house in her room her room is big it fits a twin bed and a queen sized bed so I stayed there with my baby. Anyways, she kept making excuses and didn't let us move into the back house until my baby was 4 months old.
She wanted us to stay until my baby was 6 months but my husband couldn't take it anymore so we finally were able to move into the back house by ourselves with our baby.
WHAT ANNOYS ME :
I'm pregnant again and due in a little less than 2 months. She's telling me that when I have my baby she wants us to stay in her house with her again for those 40 days. I said no and that I have already talked to my husband about it he told me no and that he's not staying in her house and so aren't I or our kids because we have our own space in our house in the back. She tells me to tell him if he doesn't wanna stay he doesn't have to, pretty much telling him to stay in the back house by himself. I told her my husband said he wants to take care of our kid on our own and that there's no point in being married if imma stay with my mom. And I completely agree with him, we don't need any help from anyone. We are our own family and shouldn't have to be separated because of some stupid belief. My mom then says she will be worried the whole time and that she's sorry but she's going to be coming in our house several times a night to check on our baby. What annoys me is I feel like my mom doesn't think i'm capable of taking care of my own child. She keeps insisting no matter what I tell her and it's annoying. I'm NOT going to give in. And besides, when I put myself in my husband's shoes it's pretty akward and not right sleeping in the same room as your SO's mother. The only reason he agreed the first time around is because he wanted to be with my daughter and I and we had no where else to go. I hated staying in the same room as my mom when I had my first because she literally thinks she can control me and tell me what to do I was 21 years old at the time and will be 22 years this year, I can make decisions for myself and for my kids on my own she has no say in what I do. Idk how else to get her off my back
Update moving out is not something we can afford at the moment, hopefully in a year we will be out of here once we get back on our feet. No rude comments please.
