Hi Rantz family, I need urgent advice on this because these people want me to feel like my own is too much. Giving birth, my mom-in-law insists I spend 40 days with her doing nothing, not continuing my business, and not going for my work upgrade. I told her I should use one month out of the 40 days for that, but she said no — that I must not go anywhere, just eat, sleep, and take care of my baby. I know I won’t be doing house chores there because she has people doing it, but I need my freedom too. I already talked about it with my man, but it seems he is not seeing anything bad in it and has already told me if I will be there, at most it’s two weeks. If that will make his mom hate me, then she should, because even if my friends and family want to check on me after the naming, they won’t even be able to sleep over. That’s not even my problem — I just want my freedom. I can’t pause my business for a whole 40 days even though I do not have the visibility yet, but the little I’m earning is still better than nothing, and I’m also planning to register for my NYSC service, probably once my baby is 3 months. There will be a family meeting on this because I did not agree with her yet, but I’m afraid my family might tell me to cope with it too, which I don’t think I can do. Please advise me ejor, this thing is hurting my feelings already.
