I am about to give birth, I want my mother-in-law to take care of the baby in the confinement, but the mother-in-law wants a care fee of 10,000 yuan, do you say that the mother-in-law is doing the right thing?
In a few days, I will be confinement. Sister-in-law contacted several, but they didn't feel appropriate. So I consulted with my husband and wanted my mother-in-law in my hometown to take care of the baby.
The husband hurriedly called the mother-in-law to talk about the matter, and the mother-in-law said on the phone that it was no problem for her to take care of the baby, but we had to give her ten thousand yuan in care fees.
As soon as I heard this, I was furious, and it was not a matter of course for my mother-in-law to take care of her grandchildren, and my mother-in-law said the reason on the phone.
It turned out that the husband also had an older brother, and the brothers and sisters-in-law were all working outside the home, leaving the two children in their hometown for the in-laws to take care of. If my mother-in-law came to take care of me and the little baby, the brother-in-law's child would be taken care of by the father-in-law. The father-in-law usually goes out to do things can earn about 10,000 yuan a month, and he can't go out to work after taking care of the children at home, so the mother-in-law asks us for care fees.
I do not agree to give ten thousand yuan, the mother-in-law will not come to take care of the baby. My husband proposed that my mother take care of the baby, and she would have nothing to do at home. I said that my mother should be fine to take care of the baby, but she has always had the old disease of waist pain, to take care of the baby will make the old disease recur, just give her ten thousand yuan nutrition fee.
At this time, my husband was not happy, saying that he would only give my mother ten thousand yuan and not his mother. I said that the mother-in-law took care of her daughter-in-law as a matter of course, and did not have to give money. My husband said that I was double standard, and we had a fight over it.
I called my mother, and my mother said that she could not take care of the baby, it turned out that she had fallen a few days ago, her foot was injured, and it was estimated that it would take a month to recover, afraid that I was worried and did not tell me.
At this time, the mother-in-law called and said that she came to take care of the baby, and at the same time brought the two children of the husband and sister-in-law, so that we would not have to pay ten thousand yuan. It was a pair of twins, more than two years old, very noisy, bringing them, my little baby and I must not rest well, and my mother-in-law did not have the energy to take care of everyone at the same time.
So I didn't agree with this plan, and my husband said to ask my sister-in-law. But the sister-in-law I contacted before the New Year is now no longer available, and I can't find a new sister-in-law all of a sudden.
You say, I still give ten thousand yuan to my mother-in-law to take care of me and my little baby?
