Did you'll celebrate Mothers' Day with your mil? I didn't

Hi all, like shi ne_fs :rubhands: I'm back on the portal....


Winth, my 2 cents' worth is that she doesn't really want you to come along...(sorry very blunt). If you've read my thread eons back, my MIL had a similar trend of thought...she's more skilled :roll: , in front of FIL and DH, \"volunteered\" for me to go along on the trip while she looks after my kids! :!:

Anyway, if that's the way she wants it, my suggestion is that you let DH and children (if possible) go with her so that there's bonding time! Not sure if you want to go on the trip with her! My rationale although I'd sure I woudl have a crazy time looking after my 3 DD's...is that there probably ain't that many years left.

DH is suggesting that we go for a few days' trip this June with PIL's before a grand family tour.... :stupid: :stupid: :stupid: I'm trying to wriggle my way outta it!


All the best, winth. Would be -ing for you!

Nope. DH didn't say anything.. ...
If my MIL plans anything at all that includes us there will 2 main reasons.
Showy to friends and relatives how 'close' she is with us/ photo session or she wants DH to foot the bill. :rant:

My ILs would be hitting the 70+ soon (another 3 years). Hubby is the only son and ILs has two other married daughters. One SIL married a only child, the other SIL married the only son. Both SILs not staying with their ILs.


We used to stay tge till my second child was 3plus. Had one major quarrel with MIL. The last draw was during my second child’s K2 graduation concert. Sth happened and I lost any bit of respect left for MIL.

Now that both ILs are getting old, is it my duty to move the whole family back? Hubby has not mentioned anything. Dun know if he is waiting for me to suggest willingly or he really has not thought abt it.

Moving back means many adjustments for all.

MIL: So, like dat, who will take care of the kids?

(I was totally confused... she got me there and I couldn't answer...)

I interpreted from the conversation as me and my kids are excluded.

got the same impression too (but i might be too sensitive). mil sometimes went : \"oh, she is going as well??????\" and then a long pause and who's gonna look after kids?\".

i just laughed, tag along and make myself happy.
