I Say He Says - Like the annoying patient's relative.

I was coaxing Baby Maya to sleep last night. Smiling and cooing her on the bed, then slightly I pushed her head down to the bed to indicate sleeping. Of course, her head bounced back straight up as she still wanted to play turning and rolling. 

And then this father of hers....

Dear Hubby (protectively carry her up): Eh eh!!! Why so ganas you push her head!!!

Me (confused): No la.. I just gently push down nia... 

Dear Hubby: Aiyoh.. She pain pain le (babytalking has already seeped into most of our adult talk lol). 

Me: Where got. No le. Very gentle only. 

Dear Hubby (not convinced): You so ganas. Later you hurt her.

Me (feeling very the defensive and offended): Eh!!! You all ah... You all talk as though I will intentionally hurt my little girl ah.... I never ganas her la... Of all people, you wanna be overprotective over the mother (I don't know if you understand me but Dear Hubby did lol). I ❤ her like crazy, I would never do anything purposely to hurt or cause her pain. Tell me this cannot do, that cannot eat, don't force this, why you feed that, etc.... I'm a new mum, I might not know alot of things about parenting and I still need to learn but I will NEVER deliberately do things to harm my girl. I took care of her all these months, got problem meh? (See she so healthy and naughty and everything cute!!!)

You all are like those patient's relatives, who you never saw before in the ward and suddenly appeared on the day patient was planned for a major surgery, and demanded explanation to why was the patient even going into surgery (which was already meticulously discussed with patient by specialists, decided for, arranged and painstakingly prepped pre-operatively by you) long before those 'concerned' relatives came into picture. The same type of relatives who asked rudely if you are absolutely 100% sure the patient can go home, and threatened to sue if we wrongfully discharged the patient. Those relatives who were never there to care for the patient but demanded an attendance letter from us to show their boss, on the day of discharge (that was usually the first time we ever saw them). Ironically those well-meaning (?) people are the more educated and richer relatives. They are not wrong doing that, but freaking annoying la!!! Like you now..!!!

Dear Hubby (looking amused): Wah! So elaborate... How long have you been thinking about that?

Me (feeling paiseh): Quite some time....

Dear Hubby: So, which one is you in that picture?

Me: The poor kind innocent and humble relative who stood by the patient all the while. 

Dear Hubby: Innocent and humble? (throwing a loud laugh)

Me: Oh shut up!!! (joining the laughter)

Cheh. Haha.
