Was chatting with Yuxi over FB regarding confinement rules and agree with her. Nowadays still got ppl who follow the rules? I mean most of the rules are quite ridiculous and redundant. Example of which includes:
1) cannot have a fan blowing directly at you - will cause wind in body
2) cannot bathe, wash hair or be in contact with water for too long (then i wonder who is gg to bathe the bb???) - will cause rheumatism during old age
3) cannot stand while eating or drinking - will cause womb to fall out
4) cannot drink plain water. Can only drink either red dates or logan tea - cant remember why no plain water..
5) must wear long sleeves top and long pants - to prevent wind from entering body
6) must wear slipper at home as feet cannot be in direct contact with the floor - due to wind also
Most of these rules are directed at having wind in body which will cause rheumatism during old age. But then again, for the old folks who have been reminding and demanding us to follow such rules, didn't they practice such rules when they are doing their confinement? If so, then why are they still aching and having rheumatism now? Whats the use of following these rules when it didn't work? That only means 1 thing. Such stupid rules doesn't hold. It dun mean that by not bathing, blowing fan, or not drinking plain water during confinement period = no aching or rheumatism. Aching and rheumatism are part and parcel of old age, unless you can prove to me that by following such rules, i wont be aching when i am old, then i will be glad to do it, if not, sorry to say..i will try my best to do it, but if stress + tired over caring for my newborn + PNB, these rules are the last on my mind. So pls stop nagging me to wear long sleeves, long pants, no fan, no plain water, no this , no that..its getting very irritating..
