      buds, buds, a real bright spark

      Things will go your way
      buds_hub, better buck up
      And make things go her way

      Your new home will be filled with love
      Your two lovely DDs, and baby in your belly
      There will be singing and laughter
      Joy and everything tender

      You deserve all these and more
      I hope and pray for you to have it all

      :hugs:

        3Boys:
        \"Therefore shall a man leave his father and his mother, and shall cleave unto his wife: and they shall be one flesh.\"


        Time for your hubs to cut the apron strings. Harsh, but necessary. I don't know the rights or wrongs of your situation, but if this drives you nuts, it is your prerogative as the wife to say NO.
        It IS harsh indeed... and frankly i'd hate to see them in that plight. But
        who's there to empathise with me? No one ever did except you guys here,
        my family and the very very few friends whom i trust enuf to offload or
        else i'd go mental already. I battled post natal depression with DD1 &
        a doc & nurse friend was extremely kind to help me through... my family
        too definitely. If i had to go through pre-natal and posta-natal this time
        round with #3, gosh.... i dunno where to begin.... :faint:

        I have gone to hell and back with this family and i do think it is worth
        my giving this a final shot. I sure hope my decision was right. I don't
        make vows and promises for the sake of it.

          i have told my HB right from day 1 too.. and reminded him every now and then..

          I too thought the same but i relented and sacrificed for the love for my
          husband... in consideration of his dilemma... in the pride of how i had
          been raised by my family well enough to respect my elders & understand
          their silver journey.

          The sad part was definitely that he failed to see through what i've done
          to make sure we are together as a family... no matter where we were.
          When things happen at home, he'd just say dun care where we live right
          as long as there's a place to live... a roof over our heads. I thought it is
          supposed to be a home where family is... a sense of belonging... where
          we can be happy together, but to solve or rather dismiss the issues at
          hand which he thinks are petty or rather he tries not to dwell on them...
          he says it can just be a house where everybody lives. 😞

          There. Problem solved right?

            reading what is happening with Buds, I feel like I am watching one of those taiwan serial where it is neverending. I want to bash some sense into the husband and scream into the face of the evil MIL and at the same time, turn some of that wrath against the hapless FIL. Then I also want to tell the ever suffering wife to stop being a doormat for everyone to trample all over. Gosh the frustrations. And I am not even the one going through all these.


            Dear buds. Am so sorry that you are facing this. Especially to have had a taste of that which you have been yearning for all these years only to have it being taken away. How cruel can that be. All I can say is I am rooting for you and whatever the outcome, have faith that the big guy up there will not throw you something that you cannot handle. You have said what you needed to say to your DH and you cannot be any clearer. Let it go and leave it in the hands of God for now. Hopefully that will give you some peace and solace.

              Hehehee.. i AM a doormat lah hor. A damn good one too! It lasted that

              long boi! :lol: Taiwanese, Indonesian, Korean... you name it, girl! This
              is my real life drama unwinding for you. Each day desperate for a fresh
              new episode where there's hope only to be dampened by new scheming
              ways to prolong the episodes.

              I have nothing but respect for all of them and love in my heart, so i tried
              not to see it as being trampled over. It was just sad that hubs didn't
              appreciate me enough. Enough to stand up for me and for us. I will
              have to let it go, Funz... for now i have to go fetch DD2 from school.
              I will have to end today's episode here and resume with more energy
              hopefully tomorrow to see through another day's fun and excitement.
              I mean my days are that colourful, ain't it? :lol: :faint:

              Technically nothing's been taken away from me...... yet. πŸ™ Like
              i said, i am just overly and utterly tensed up cos the living arrangements
              still haven't goa tim until today, OMG! :faint: The finale wait is killing me
              softly. :faint:

              Thanks for dropping by to offer me extra strength to see through this
              phase of my life. I truly appreciate all the :hugs: the :xedfingers: the
              πŸ™ and also sometimes the :nunchuk: and the occasional :pokeeye:!
              Hahaa! I always feel better after off loading here. Thanks you guys, i got
              to go now. See you guys tomorrow... :snuggles:

              :love: buds...

                I'm halfway through decorating & arranging my classroom. :please:

                Already have parents reserving places for lessons. πŸ˜‰
                Buds, dun mind can PM me where is your new house?
                If it's near, I don't mind sending my boy to you (and if THEY happen to be there when I drop off/pick up my boy, can help you to deliver some 'nasties'). πŸ˜›

                    [quote=\"markfch\"]
                    Your post got me thinking. There're some forumers here with outstanding traits that I admire. How I wish ds can have the following combination of attributes:

                    a) chief's analytical skills
                    b) automnbronze's poetry talent
                    c) ksi's EQ
                    d) schewepes's story telling skills
                    e) verykiasu2010's suaning talent
                    f) Way2Go's humour
                    g) buds's patience
                    h) Blobbi's piano & english power
                    i) 3Boys's debating skills
                    j) Tamarind's chinese power

                    Perfect 10! Hope I'm not too greedy hor πŸ˜‰ .

                    Wah if ds really can have the combination of talents above, then all the top sch's principals will come knocking at my door and I'll ask them why I should let ds join their schs, instead of the other way round :lol:

                    I think need to add one more attribute like obedience or upright... else...

                    😐 😐

                    That could be inside buds patience πŸ˜‰[/quote]In my book, uprightness and obedience is abundant on that list πŸ˜„ .

                    Better don't talk so much, wait I kena :clubmyself: again. :siam:

                      Aiyah... talk some more lah markfch, i love it when you talk.

                      Especially here... we dun have enough guys, husbands and
                      lads talking in here. I'm sure it's not just us girls having
                      stuff to bitch about issit? :evil: Or perhaps guys are
                      blessed having great ILs... now that's a cause for
                      envy. :celebrate:
