Living a new life.
It’s been two months since I married the love of my life.
In two months I learned a lot (and will keep learning until God knows when), I carry my baby now, learning how to be a good mother in this such an a young age. But Im happy and can not wait to meet and raise my baby, spending many times together.
But other than that, Im dealing with new culture, Im dealing with many new people, living with ‘other’ family is a hard thing.
I’ve been together with my husband for 7 years, so I dont think there are many major ‘changes’ in our live that now we are living together.
But not with my ‘new family’, it’s a different things.
Especially with your single mother-in-law.
My husband is the only man children in his family, and thats makes it even harder.
His mother lean to him in many things, and thats not a new things for me.
But now we are living in the same roof.
And it’s culture shock that I’am dealing with now.
I know it’s hard for my husband, especially when the situation puts him in the position of chosing between his mother and me, his wife.
But then I am the one who have no one in here, except my husband. I always ended up losing my argument just because I told to do so, because as an Asian we just can’t argue with older people (society), and I feel like I have no voice in here.
Is this called home?
Is older people or we can called ‘parent’ is always right?
Im still doing my job, I made money for this house, paying bills for all of us.
I carry my baby and forgetting my back ache, nausea and all of the pregnancy symptoms.
I did all the chores everyday.
And not even once I complain about it.
Is this so hard for ‘you all’ to at least think I’am matter? My voice is matter?
