Pakistani In laws

I used to live with my in laws and moved out after giving birth as they caused my PPD. Telling me what I should do with my baby, bitching behind my back,dismissing my rules around my baby. Long story short they love to backbite me but act fake to my face. Whenever I go there they will never bicker but once I leave I always get told what they’ve been saying about me. One time I went to their house and the father in law said- oh baby has lost weight” when I said no he hasn’t he weighed him he responded to me with “I’m telling you I know he has I know him he has lost weight” like mf are you ok? Anyway I’m just sick of dealing with Pakistani in laws it’s so mentally draining. I used to go every other day with my son but since the past few months I have been keeping my distance to set boundaries and going over there once or twice a month. Am I wrong here? Should I forgive the way they made my PPD so unmanageable when I lived there? Should I go over more? I know they love my son but I believe if you can’t respect me and make me feel this way then you do not have a right to be around my son and I’m better off only going once a month.

If someone made me feel like that I wouldn't ever see them

What religion are you if u dont mind me Asking? If i was you my opinion would be ok fuck yous then id keep distance and they obviously tryin to put u down with such nasty comments about ur son , if he looks ok to you an hes not loosing any weight an still eating then thats all good! Dont listen to them!

Not being racist but iv heard alot about Pakistani people they probably know what there doing and tryin make ur life hell how long u been with the bloke?

Totally agree with Charlene here!!

@Charlene if you have to start a comment with “not being racist but…” then you’re probably about to be racist…

Do whatever you feel comfortable with- no one should make you feel disrespected or the way you’ve described. No matter who they are.

@Charlene With all due respect- you are being rude and racist. I am Pakistani and disagree with you. All communities/ethnicities/groups of people have good and bad.

I have Pakistani in laws (im mixed race white and Caribbean) and they’re great they have been very supportive of my new born and helpful and I know I could rely on them for anything with that being said they definitely have and other family members made comments at times about the baby being smaller or even things not about the baby that have rubbed me the wrong way at times however this happens from elders of any background and just people in general sometimes think they know best peoples in-laws black white asian etc etc sometimes don’t get on or have the best input. My advice is to shrug it off as much as possible and don’t let things get under your skin! Everyone will have an opinion and everyone thinks they know best but as long as you know yourself that your giving Al the care love and affection your baby needs it doesn’t matter what anyone else thinks also just remind yourself that they’re doing it out of love and care for your child take it with a pinch of salt

But also put your foot down if comments are made

It sounds like they're just bad people, doesn't have anything to do with them being Pakistani. So it's best not to include that in what you say. But as PEOPLE they don't sound nice or supportive at all. Remember you're the mother, you know your baby better than anyone, don't underestimate that power 🫶🏻

Everyone is entitled to freedom of speech right? Im just saying my opinion… i aint said nothing bad here

Re read my post 👁️ i said im not being racist*

@Charlene but you are? You can’t say “not being racist” followed by a racist comment and expect that to just negate the actual racism behind your comment? You are basically saying that all Pakistani people are the same and not nice people/they know that they’re doing and trying to make your life hell… you are being discriminative and rude about a WHOLE race of people, you need to step back and realise that’s actually not okay? Yes as individuals what they’ve done sounds shitty, but where they’re from doesn’t come into that?

@ chloe u heard of freedom of speech?

I think u need to re read thats you assuming im racist when im not dear! I was commenting on this persons post i aint sayin All pakistani people are like this 🤦‍♀️

@Charlene it's not quite freedom of speech when you're just spouting from the mouth assumptions you've made, based on what you "heard" it's more like you sound racist, biased and really judgmental?

To be honest im just saying my opinion, everyone is entitled to there own speech here! End off

@Charlene don’t actually find your comment racist at all. Nothing was said that was racist in anyway. Don’t spend time justifying yourself to people who can’t even tell you what part of the comment was racist.

🙏 thanks traynie ur right i suppose some people like to stir shit xx
