        :siam:

        Got imply meh.. thought this is what i said...

        1. Two rooms cannot open classes for you all.. Kekekee.. :politebleah:
        2. And hubs got cheek to say that the US included a lil neu addition as well. :faint:

        Vision #2 is HIS mah... not mine. :politebleah:
        Busymom:
        This viewing tonight may be IT. Cos hubs said he saw US (in future) with it.
        Dear all.. thank you for your kind and sincere PMs & there are still many i
        have yet to reply to. Do know that i have read every single one of them
        and will reply when i more steady. Heheh. :lol: Niwae, just to update.. the
        unit we saw tonight is affirmative. Hubs had a good feel to it and we have
        secured it! If all goes well, (i 🙏 it to be as uneventful as possible) we
        can be outta here in 6mths. 😉 I'm still numbed by this decision cause
        i can't believe we're finally truly really doing this. Our agent was asking if
        i needed to pinch or slap myself to know it's real. Ala Jack Black in Nacho
        Libre... he'd say, \"This is for realzzz!\" :rotflmao: Thank you EVERYONE, and
        that is every single one of you who have kept us in your prayers.. hey, God
        did hear us. Thank you for travelling this cyber journey with me... Though it
        ain't over yet... i am starting to feel this may get our life back on track agn..

          Not that I want to be a hypocrite or start some debate about living separately with in-laws. But I think it really does more harm than good if married couples choose (or no choice) but to stay with parents.


          My friend is the hubby and he told me his wife goes to her parents’ place to sleep for a couple of nights in a week during their first year marriage (that was 2 years back). Added blah… miss home… blah… likes to sleep on her own bed… blah… At first, I felt it was real weird but perhaps his wife was really close to her parents and daddy’s girl kinda stuff.

          But after reading from what some posters mentioned here, seriously, don’t think that’s even the real reason.

          Couple months back, met him again and he said she has moved back to stay with her parents with their 2-year-old during weekdays after their maid went back. Added blah… child close to mum… blah… need to sleep with her… blah…

          Smell a rat but hey… it’s really other people’s personal business…
          But I think they are in for some turbulence if this continues to build up.

          I’m keeping my fingers crossed for them and hope for the best for his marriage.

            Thanks Chief for your scary story. I won't expect anything from her anymore. Just stay there for 2 nites, try to be as polite as possible and then get out of there :siam:, even though I have to leave my kids behind for another week. That'll be the longest time I don't see them since their births 😢

            Wow minnie2004, I wouldn't be able to leave kids behind for sure :salute:

              My heart will be with you throughout those times, minnie2004.
              I :salute: your ability to compromise. As for the extra week,
              treat it as your long deserved break to catch up with all the
              ME time you need. Go pamper yourself girl! Then, come back
              recharged. All my love.. :snuggles:

              PS. It's good not to expect, so one will not be disappointed. 😉

                      Minnie,

                      Sorry to rub me in, but you sure you want to leave your kids behind ? There are many places to visit in US, so if you are going to be moving around a lot, you’re going to be too tired at the end of the day and knock out at night.

                        Hi janet_lee88,


                        Our main purpose of the trip is actually visiting friends in Vancouver and Chicago. LA is just our last stop. So we'd be tired after all the flying. Although I'll try to pack all the activities in the 1st 2 days while in LA, we probably won't go out all the time so will mostly likely spend quite some time at MIL's place. It's just not possible to live under one roof w/ her for any extended period of time, anywhere, not to mention her place where she's queen. I'll end up like a maid under her close scruity. She would say something mean to me (it's in her blood) and I won't have the high EQ to ignore it. So it'll be happier for everyone that I don't stay there too long. DH also thinks the kids should spend some time with their grandma. If I'm there, they'll just stick with me.

                        I've been delaying the inevitable for sometime and now that the kids a bit older (they'll be 4 & 6 then), they should know the basic safety rules. I've been preparing DD all along teaching her things ranging from what-to-do-when-lost to what-food-is-healthy. So hope she'll put them to use when I'm not there :xedfingers:
