Easy!

1) Have baby

2) Stay at home, in bed, for 1 month and don't wash yourself, while mother or mother-in-law cares for baby

3) have your mother or mother-in-law stay for a few months to help you with the baby 

4) send mother or mother-in-law back to your hometown WITH the baby 

5) get on with your life as if you don't have a child that you should be responsible for! 

Incongnito:

Hahaha!!! Brilliant! I thought I'd been the only one sensing the same, especially No 5

I was being sarcastic but it's also true. A friend of my wife recently had a child. Her mother moved in to help with the baby. Mother and grandmother were getting on each other's nerves. My wife told me the other day that the grandmother had gone back to the hometown....and taken the baby with her. I asked about the babies mother and how she felt about this. The child's mother is an only child. She feels she's fulfilled her responsibilities by having the baby but is now happy for her mother to look after it...500km away!!!!!

I paid my baby daughter a half rmb everytime she did something good.

But she is getting wise now. She knows she is not a baby anymore, so she now asks for 10 rmb Smile

(Edited for tense)

scotsalan, how old is your daughter now?

i give nothing, my north American kid already blew everything I gave him for university and setting up a life

my African kids UNICEF .....  thank me on occasion.....I tear up whenever I hear from them.

My Chinese daughter asks for nothing......  she is determined to "do it on her own".

BHGAL:

gotta add this, for those that don't know

My daughter is 25 ...I met her when she was 19

when I married her Mom, 6 years ago.

I see so much BS  on this site and all the others about bad people....  all I have ever met here in China are good people.... good family people...

and Yes I have offered assistance to my daughter....  she says, "love you" but no, I want to try it on my own.

Lol BHGAL. My wife and youngest daughter are off to Scotland next week. My eldest daughter who has a degree from Edinburgh Univeristy will pick them up and drive them to my hometown. It's convenient for my eldest cos she works in a shop in the airport.

@bhgal how serious were you when you said the chinese you have met were good people not bad ones i been told that china is full of? The way i been told by others on this site chinese are greedy kniving mean arrogant obnoxious rude,not to be trusted as a whole! i guess it depends on whom you are around work and live with right? How did it feel when your daughter told you she wanted to try it on her own without your help? Were u proud? just wondering,nothing personal ok?
