Mother in law in China
I married in 2011, and I got my little baby boy at the end of 2014, today I want to talk about mother in law in China.
You know the house praise is very expensive in Shanghai, so in the first two years, we lived together with my parents in law, they took care of us very well, we even didn't do any housework, like cooking, washing, sorting. they did everything for us, we appreciated it, but on the other hand we became lazier and lazier.
In the middle of 2013, with the help of my parents in law, we brought a very tiny apartment in the downtown with a house mortgage. even though we didn't live together, my mother in law still helps us doing housework, like she cleans the house when we are working, and even cooks for us before we go home.
after our baby was born, my parents in law gets busier, because they want to take care of the little baby, and they love the little baby so much, and they worry about that we can't take care of the baby well, so we have to listen to them,the baby wants to be hugged, so they hugged him everyday, even when the baby is sleeping. they meet any needs baby needed. one day, I said if you hug him too much, you are spoiling him, and that is not good for him, but they claims the baby is the only grandson for them, they should meet his needs.
I know in china, many family has same situation like us, parents always interfere too much to their kids.I also don't know how to handle this, because if I said too much, they will be unhappy.

You know house rent (?!) is very expensive in Shanghai, so in the first two years, we lived together with my parents in law, they took care of us very well, we even didn't do any housework, like cooking, washing, sorting. they did everything for us, we appreciated it, but on the other hand we became lazier and lazier.

She cleans the house when we are working, and even cooks for us while we are at work.
after our baby was born, my parents in law got busier, because they wanted to take care of the little baby, and they love the little baby so much. They worry that we can't take good care of the baby. We have to listen to them. The baby wants to be hugged, so they hugged him everyday, even when the baby was sleeping. They met any needs of the baby. one day, I said if you hug him too much, you are spoiling him, and that is not good for him, but they claim the baby is their only grandson and they should meet his needs.
I know in china, many families find themselves in similar situations, grandparents always interfere too much in the education of the kids.I also don't know how to handle this, because if I complained too much, they would be unhappy.

Hi, you are such a lucky woman with all the help and support. Many of us complain that we never received any help from our parents. Kids and house work will suck up most of our time and energy. I truly understand what your concern is. My suggestion is, try to educate them and passively influence their attitude to your kid. Good luck and all the best.
