      Same! :hi5:


      I didn't pass up on the opportunities either.

      We're talking loads here. :rubhands: Good thing is these teasings are so evergreen, one doesn't get tired of it. It's still shiok every time it comes up and still hails roars of laughter. :rotflmao:

      Yup, there is no end to that! :rotflmao:

      Mine; first-born son.
      first born son=only son?? or fav son??

        my mother had never called me or talked to me much, so i'm actually really surprised to hear such things... But i guess the bond must be quite good to warrant such contacts, and sadly i'm maybe not so close to my mother...


        if the mother has more things to do, maybe she will not have so much time to make such calls.

        and if there are other siblings, can maybe ask them to help to tell the mother to cut down on such calls, and the duration of each call - if it is not so easy to tell her directly.

        if happened to me, i'll tell her straight too busy to talk...
        my mum also doesn't call me often. She is very \"zhi tong\",she won't call me during exam/test period.My MIL is bo zhi tong.....she doesn't give people opportunity to call back...she'll call until u pick up...once i've had 12 missed calls from her

          Hubby used to go for exercise on Sundays…not anymore bcos he has to buy breakfast for them. I can’t say anything…and since I don’t have to put up with them, I don’t care.

            12 missed calls? Urgent or not?? If not, sure kanna scolding from me...

            The only time when I had a lot of missed calls was my bad mistake: forgot to bring handphone when went out of office, and DS was having fever at childcare and DW was in China...
            ended up childcare called numerous times, DW called numerous times, my parents called numerous times...

                        Yes,their bonds r very closed....MIL treats him like daughter.He doesn't hv mind on his own....

                        if the mother has more things to do, maybe she will not have so much time to make such calls.
                        Yes,she is very free.......a tai tai.Another reason...she is control-freak

                        and if there are other siblings, can maybe ask them to help to tell the mother to cut down on such calls, and the duration of each call - if it is not so easy to tell her directly.
                        no use.....the more u ask her not to call,the more she would callif happened to me, i'll tell her straight too busy to talk...
