I may have to agree with you on respecting boundaries. She's been nothing but good to me, all my in laws infact.

I just wish she would know that I need her to step in now. I will talk to her like you suggested. Thank you

Brief rant!

So my MIL is currently doing omugwo in my place. Baby is 12days old and I'm currently still healing from a really painful episiotomy. I also have a 2yr old who goes to sch during the week.

Problem is...my MIL likes to be served! Like...served! When I was pregnant and she was visiting, I would make her meals and serve her myself, she would make comments about not wanting to stress me but what was the alternative?

Now that I have just had a baby, the story is same. She doesn't go into the kitchen to prepare meals or even attempts. She mainly just bathes the baby and carry her sometimes.

I still have to instruct the help on what to make, send her to the market etc. If I don't come out of the room till 10am, my MIL wont eat...almost like shes waiting for me to make her food happen.

I'm stressed! From not sleeping almost all night to still having to think of food for my MIL is stressing my brain.

Thankfully, I have a help who can 'serve' her. My help only started cooking now that I gave birth, I did it myself prior. So I would just send my help to ask my MIL what she will like to eat.

Main issue now is that my help has suddenly announced that her parent want her back home. So shes leaving at this time...I'm just all over the place and stressed afresh!

NO HELP!!!! And my MIL wont near the kitchen. My hubby is also annoyed but there is only so much he can say.

I have legit been taking cereals because I cant easily get what I need to eat eg peppersoup, vegetables etc. I'm just tired and upset.

Can anyone pls connect me to an Agency that provides Helps? I'm officially tired of these people

Mama, u just described my MIL and of a truth all she's doing is respecting boundaries. I had painful epis dat refused to heal during my first delivery and my MIL is all shades of caring and helping except for d cooking part, it was my friend dat comes to do d cooking every 2days, then one day I tearfully told her "mumsy I've missed ur efo riro and moimoi elewe" we all laughed and MIL said she didn't know I wanted her to cook, I said me dat I'm managing to eat. So she promised to cook Vegetable soup dat very day, I will just write a list of what to buy and send someone to d market. From then she did all d cooking till she left and me and hubby really enjoyed her cooking, infact we appreciate her by fighting over d last bite at times


Long story short, find a way to talk to her, she might not even know u will be pleased if she cook for u

I was also gonna say take it easy on mama she’s probably respecting boundaries. I have only boys so I am now more lenient towards MILs I am beginning to feel thier plights more LOL.

How about planning or agreeing on breakfast with your help the night before ? For eg you can ask her to peel the yam , boil the beans or whatever before you’re up and then you get up maybe try eggs get it served and go back to bed. Same with other meals too . If she enters your kitchen you nor go like am oh

Hi Mama's pls I'd like to know.

When does menses begin after weaning a child?

I stopped breastfeeding my baby December 4th and up till now, menses has not started. Baby is 18months old.

I really need ur replies pls

babythug:


How old is the child?
What was the dr’s diagnosis?
How far into the treatment are you?

Once the immune system is compromised and there’s an illness/sickness loss of appetite will occur. Keep offering different meals till you find one she will accept- cereals, beverages , biscuits, juice just something to sustain her till the appetite picks up.

She may accept plain pap / oats or with a little milk. Try. A few morsels of swallow and ewedu, boiled Titus fish Tnx ma we HV take her back to hospital

You can use salt water and cotton wool to clean the mouth for now. She will cry but the mouth will be clean and some of the bitter taste in her tongue may go off.

LadySarah:


It differs and not a generalized stuff. Some ovulation is on even without the menses.

If you are trying for a new baby you might want to see ur gynae.
