All preggie ladies will eventually make this decision once they are going to deliver.
"Where to stay for confinement and who to look after? "
Initially, I had the luxury of having both my mother & my in-laws coming over to take care of me in the comfort of my own home. *Bliss*
My mother would come first thing in the morning almost every day and bathe the baby as well as do my laundry before going back home.
My mother-in-law will come before noon to bring personalized home-cooked lunch for me and she will go back home to return in the evening with dinner with my father-n-law and sleep over to care for the baby during the night. Unfortunately they were unable to stay over long so schedule changed to my mother-in-law having to come and pick Anis before 6pm and send her back to my place the following morning so me & hubby get our much needed rest. Weekends duties are taken over by my mum & my hubby.
After 4 weeks, all these arrangements get tiring. Now, I am at my in-laws until my 44 days of confinement is over. I wished I stayed here from the very beginning!!!
Pure luxury! Irregardless of whatever people say. Staying with elders are fantastic!!! I have breakfast, lunch & dinner all ready and served. *Bliss*
You dont have to lay a hand. They always know what to do with the baby. Never mind that sometimes it interferes with the way you do things but they are old. Let them do what they want. No matter what they do or say, they will never want anything bad for you or your baby.
