My mother-in-law, Andrea Bacchus, also criticized me for not cherishing my life, saying that in their time, they didn't have these great conditions.
It seemed like it was all my fault, and I started to doubt myself.
I could only go online and ask for other people's opinions.
All the netizens criticized me, too.
[If you're breastfeeding, your baby doesn't need water, or it will increase the burden on your baby's kidneys. The maid is right, and you're wrong.]
[Why supplement calcium for such a young baby? Supplementing calcium before six months can easily cause premature closure of fontanel. Don't you know?]
[Please! Read more books! Don't let your lack of education ruin the baby!]
[I really feel sorry for your maid. Ignorance is so terrifying.]
I felt speechless.
In fact, as someone who was mocked by netizens as "uneducated", I graduated with a full scholarship offer for a PhD from Stanford at the age of 25.
Before going abroad for further study, I found out that I was pregnant.
I didn't hesitate between my future and the baby.
Because of morning sickness, I had to stay at home during the entire pregnancy, feeling dizzy and vomiting every day.
Fortunately, I married the right person.
