In-law problems?

[Angelight]

My MIL is like loner's, great actress and always acts like the doting MIL and \"nai nai\" in front of her friends and relatives. She has NEVER looked after my DD since birth as I am a SAHM, but she claimed to her friends and relatives that she looked after ALL her grandkids! :roll:


She also likes to play favouritism between the 2 sons and DILs and the grandkids. She favours my BIL (DH's bro) and his family over DH, me and DD. When I was having confinement (after giving birth to DD) at her home (we were staying together then), she actually asked DH to pay her back the money spent on my confinement food/tonics and even the baby stuf she bought for DD. She was that calculative with me and DH :x But she bought grocery every week for her other son's family without asking for money back. Talk about favouritism, hers shld be in the highest degree.

Hello friends, mine not just CNY gathering, but still have to see her \"f\" face during Christmas, FIL/MIL/SON/grandson- BirthdayS, Father's/Mother's day etc Esp. Mother's day, still hv to \"pretend\" bo dai ji in front of her and greet her Happy Mxxxxx day!

Hi Angela/Jedamum,

Looks like MILs can also qualify as actresses in the senior citizen category...they just love to put on a sob sob look even though they have not been nice to begin with.

Don't expect MILs to treat DIL as daughters. To them, only their own daughters are human being...if they have been ill-treated by their MILs, then these mothers will fight it out with their 亲家. There is ALWAYS double-standard.

My MIL is also like that. Many years ago, my SIL bullied by her MIL and she came back to complain to her mother. My MIL never thinks that now she is also doing the same things as what my SIL's MIL did.

She knows that her children will listen and care her so if I give her 'bad face'. She will cry in front of my hb. Like she is very happy if her son and wife quarrel just because of her. Crazy person.

Loner darling,

Mine here doesn't even bother to know what my son (her grandson) likes to eat...now want to see grandkids more often. What a joke. My parents put in so much effort during their earlier years, now she wants to enjoy the fruit. She better go and fly kite.
You must be kidding to expect moral support from her.

My MIL also does not know what my gal can or cannot eat. She even wants face, dun want to ask me.

My gal starts to talk around 28 mths old. Before that, she keeps lawcomparing my gal with my sister-in-law's youngest daughter. Keeps saying negative remarks, then we brought her to KKH for speech therapist. Now, she can talk and talk alot, she just waits at home for my gal to come back and play with her. I am very angry so usually, dun let my gal spend more time with her.

Yah, me too. During the reunion dinner, with 14 ppl, she bought so little food. When we sat round the table with 1 steamboat, my SIL's whole family will sit near to the steamboat. So they will be the one who get best food. So, usually, we quickly eat and left the place. Now learnt the lesson, always ate full before going back for the reunion dinner.

\"i better don't carry him (my son, not even 1mth old), wait the dog jealous\"

:whut:

:faint:

Thank goodness never started the ‘Mothers’ Day’ nonsense with her…but honestly, does she deserve all this commercialized gimmicks ? Want to enjoy the fruits of labour but didn’t put in effort.

Yes, you're SO right...this kind of activity cannot start. Just stick to the reunion lunch/dinner is more than enough...after all, there isn't much family warmth esp with some members who are sarcastic.

Poor gals, I seriously don't understand why you gals MIL are like that? :? I just don't understand why they want their children' family to break up eh? :siao:
