      No use, the retort - DIL 'stomach' bu zhen qi (sorry if wrong - poor HYPY)!! It's our fault that we are not 'condusive' enough to allow their precious 'swimmers' and therefore... :stupid:

      Haiz, no win situation. Easier to blame DIL than precious DS, but at least plant seed of doubt, hopefully soften the critique.[/quote]3Boys ah, ya I wish..but since my confinement for DD2 till now she is still asking for #3... to get boy.. :faint:

      Just glad DH not so seow! :love:

            oh yes, yes.

            ils told my mum to tell me to give them a grandson or they will be heir-less.

            what's this thing about \"name\"... if they dont think their granddaughter is good enough, i can gladly let her take on my name. hehe

                hmmm, I 've got a son but my inlaws still don’t treat me well haha. so I often tell myself, thank goodness it a boy, if it was a girl (actually i was hoping for a girl), don’t know what they’ll do!


                I don’t stay with myinlaws but there’re lots of conflicts as well.

                during confinement, my mom would bring me confinement food everyday. My MIL was not happy that my parents came to visit, and said, " actually confinement no need to eat confinement food…". hello, if they could come everyday, why can’t my parents??

                I was soft-spoken before the child but after the child was born, I learnt to be out-spoken so as to protect him. PIL initially refused to let me breastfeed , lucky i persisted and my hubs also supported. my hubs is a doctor and told them bf is better but they didn’t believe their own son!

                        Same here, my ILs and parents can't seem to co-exist together but MIL likes to keep herself 'updated' with my parents' latest news, in-case they lose out.

                        Last time, DH would suggest doing events (like birthdays) together with both side's parents. But after 1 DS2's first birthday last year, he knows wat kind of trouble and embarrassment we'll get into if we ever do that.

                        Same here. Last time still very agreeing and keen to impress (as if got any use). Now, dun care liao. As long as there's something that 'harms' my family, I'll turn TIGER.

                        But still got to endure those brainless comments SIL gives (referring to DS2: you are so dirty, why so dirty one? referring to DS1: aiya, you sure cannot do one lar, how come like that also cannot do?) I'm just more worried that her very broken england will do more harm. Have asked DS1 to speak hokkien to her if all else fails, but DS1 is just too mild... sianz...
