Annie believes that every woman has her own way of how she wants to raise her child. It’s hard enough being a young mother. Whilst your hormones have you on edge, relatives imposing their ideas just adds to the hardship.
Annie Khalid opened up about how some advice is appreciated. However, people who push for obsolete practices is a whole another issue. Some of them even want to impose them on others.
“Giving advice is one thing but imposing your ideas, some of which belong in the 1900s, or making a first-time mother feel confused, or she’s not doing the right thing, is out of order and unacceptable.”

Making a first-time mother feel like she’s not good enough to raise her own child is not just brazenly rude but cruel. With some women suffering from Post-Partum Depression already, that’s the last thing a new mother needs.
Annie Khalid pointed out that no one shares a bond with a child like a mother and no one can love a child more than her. Despite these relatives’ claims of how doing so and so could enhance a ‘mama brain‘ and ‘maternal instincts‘, people should learn to respect boundaries.
Perhaps minding your own business is the perfect policy here.
