nadz....this may be just me misremembering an older post of yours but i'm pretty much sure you yourself are living with your parents right now...not only you, but also your husband. I remember you discussing how your husband is having issues finding a job but good thing is you don't have any bills or rent/mortgage or groceries as your parents take care of all that.
soooo isn't this like, now your parents will be taking care of you, your husband, AND your kid? isn't that alot worse than someone who just has the grandparents babysit the kid for a couple days or weeks? i mean, atleast the kids are cute and fun to play with. i'm sure your husband isn't necessarily someone your parents have fun babysitting/taking care of/being responsible for. how are you giving your parents a "break" or "time to chill in their old age" when you're kinda just being a burden to them by not working and getting you and husband out on your own? your parents must be exhausted and dreading the new responsibility YOU'RE adding to their lives eventhough its your responsibility to provide for it. a baby's quiet expensive you know....telling your dad to buy 10 packs of diapers, a crib, a carseat, etc etc may not seem like a big deal to you but try going out and earning enough to make that shopping trip on your own and then come back to bash working mothers who rely too much on grandparents.
okay here we go, time to tell my whole life story.
alhumduliah he has a job now, a better one. we didnt sit around for months milking the benefits system and being freeloaders and assuming our parents would look after us, when i concieved, he was working then as welll, now huis contract finishing after, wasnt something we knew ok?
secondly yes we are, and it was temp accomodation because we are finding ahouse in the area, whcih we will move into in a month or two..ok so now you know, are you comparing..?
and why would my dad buy diapers or my mum do the shopping, thats disgraceful, even if i was on my last pennies i would never do that, even for the few weeks my husband never had a job, we paid our way, i hated the fact my mother even bought stuff for us, because i did feel like we were freeloading..and hey im talking about food.....nothing major here.
i would want my parents to retire from everything,all the hard work they ahve done for us, living with them and helping them out as well, for a few months is whole different ball game to me giving them my kid when she/he born and waddling off to work, for the next 5 years.....and i mean giving them to her and treating it like its a job for them....5 days week, 9 hours aday....we women, always say how motherhood is never appreciated, how men think we sit all day long eating chips and watchin star plus...how we get offended, well looking after kids we say, is hard, so whys that fair on our parents to look after not just their own kids, but their kids kids...
