it was living hell for me. when i preg wif #3 i was depressed cos i thot history repeating (my #2 was already old enuf for childcare and i thot i could go out n work but then i was preg with #3). when maid came, she everyday accuse the maid this n that, and it was so tough until i ｔｈｒｅａｔｅｎｅｄ　ｔｏask for a D, then her own daughter asked her to move out. my relationship wif hubb prior to that was so strained cos everday i wld sms him abt his mum. when i open my eyes or close my eyes, i only thot of how to handle her.

now life is heaven after she moved out....

i had no choice cos my hubby was the eldest, and at first she stayed with me becos she was takg care of #1 when i was workg, and even after i quit when delivered #2, she still continue to stay there. she has a younger son who was studying that time so both mil n bil was a package.

she doesnt like to go back her own house cos she n her own mil cant get along also, and when her own mil died, she moved to stay wif younger daughter to take care of grandchildren until i gave birth to #1.

She couldn't get along with HER own MIL and yet giving you hell. In the early stage of my relationship with then-bf-now-hubby, the old one gave us hell too...each time we visited her, we would quarrel after that. I've had enough...just keep arms length from her now.

it was the emotional bondage i couldnt take it.

she fought with me over the kitchen, the household, the kids especially (how to discipline or handle them). and when my maid came she fought with maid, load me wif lots of unfounded accusations against my maid etc

she pampers my kids esp #1 who was cared by her from birth - buy clothes, water bottles , toys EVERY WEEK. and dont allow me to scold or cane them.

she only care whther they ate meat but nvr bother whr they ate veg or fruits。 #1 was constipated at 2.5yrs n its a nightmare to overcome that

Wow :!: what a MIL!!! Sometimes, I wonder if they couldn't accept the fact that they are growing old? She would appear *vunerable & pathetic* until sometimes her own dd & me gets frustrated with her. Me, dh & SIL are always trying our best to understand what she want. When we gave her what she wants, sh would complain that we are wasting money & stuff like that :stupid: :x and when we don't bother, she will say *nobody cares about her* :x :? :stupid: :x :? :stupid:

Mine here can get Golden Horse and Oscar awards for her ability to wail, cry like turning on a tap…always thinking she knows everything and wanting everyone to listen to her. Never do her part as a grandmother and yet expect grandchildren to know and remember who she is to them.

My son hates it…I don’t encourage it but I teach him how to reply her w/out being rude.

my mil dun dare disagree wf her son (ie my hubby) when he around. but when he is not ard, will show displeasure to me.

when i came home, she nvr ask my baby to greet me. but when her son came hm, she will ask the baby to greet the daddy

sometimes when i greet her, i dun get response from her

This double standard is typical...she puts on such a good show that her son will not believe if you tell him otherwise. I experience that shit from her all the time.

I think your mil has forgotten something....YOU ARE THE MOTHER OF HER GRANDCHILD!!!!! :x What a dbl standard she is practising man!! If there is a best actress award for mils....all our mils would qualifiy Luckily, this month I am having a break of having her around the house. I told her to go and bother her daughter. When she is here she would always compare abt my ds & her dd's ds. Then she would go on rattling about how good her other grandson is blah...blah....blah....Worse still she would say how good her son-in-law is blah....blah....blah. :x :x

I think you need to know that some MILs think their sons can 'reproduce' by themselves...they conveniently forget that their grandchildren are given birth by women. :?:

its very true that they thot the house is theirs, the kitchen is theirs, the tv is theirs, and even their grandchildren are theirs! i always feel she treats mykids like her pets and last time she even wants to decide which primary school my girl goes to in p1! she wanted to stay in the same vicinity and sugg my girl goes to a neighbrhd sch when my gal qualifies for a sap sch cos i was old girl. crazy!


#1 (girl) was cared by her from birth cos i was wkg. #2 (boy) i take care of myslf cos i quit my job, tho she was still stayg wf me. #3 (girl) was mainly cared by my maid. she shows favoritism most to #1.

Must have been tough on you. So is your daughter registered in your former school now ? These old ones rather jelak...want to control everything.
Today's ST mentioned that boys are still preferred in Asian countries...to the point that gender is terribly unbalanced in countries like India, China and Taiwan.
