Are parents / grandparents still required to come live with you after you give birth? Here's the story.... 

My husband and I are expecting a baby soon. My parents live close by, while his mom lives in Durban. I have a good relationship with his mom, but we aren’t very close—it’s mostly polite conversations when she visits.

I’m happy for her to visit as soon as the baby is born. Since it’s hard to predict the exact date, we plan to call her and my sister (who also lives out of town) when I go into labour. They know they’re welcome to book a flight right away or wait until after the birth. Whatever works for them.

I recently told my husband I didn’t want anyone staying overnight at our house for the first few days after birth. He seemed surprised but supported me, and we agreed to let everyone know. I told my mom first, explaining family is welcome to visit all day and into the evening, but I wanted the first few nights to bond as a family and adjust without overnight guests. This is our first (and likely only) baby, and I want to treasure those moments. When we told his mother she threw a tantrum and said she won’t bother coming, and that we can just send her a picture of the baby.

Joburg, we got a voice note from Micheal: 

"Hey Anele, its Michelle. I am going for a job interview today after working at the same company for 15 years. I just have the biggest anxiety about asking how much the job pays. Like, when do I bring up the salary conversation, or do I wait for them to do it?"

Last week were discussing playing loud music when driving into an estate, we then received a message from Nazira...

"Good morning, a bit late our big debate is whether to buy a standalone house in a boomed off area or in an estate. Both have pros and cons. safety, more land and bang for your buck versus safety, community, restrictions and levies for life. Like I think levies is unsustainable long after we finishing paying the bond, there'll be a second bond called levies... I mean if levies are R5000 now what will they be in 10 year's time"
