In-law problems?

baglady:
Oh yes, of course. If carried whole day, then parents will have hard time at home with the bb.janet_lee88:
If in-laws spoil the kids, then have to sit down with hubby to explain the importance of building foundation and get him to tell his parents to stay out of the way. Of course there are some who will not want to listen...always saying 'Aiyah, only P1. What's the big deal?' Kids are very smart, when they have é å±±, sure to take advantage.
Yeah even as babies, they know who they can bully! -
How to tell pils that parents are the ones whom decide their future?
NOT PILS making the CALL....
Its difficult to do so...
Hopefully a miracle will appear soon

Rather hard for wives to get this point across to them...rather sensitive. Get the husbands to tell. Someone has to do the dirty job for the sake of children's future.How to tell pils that parents are the ones whom decide their future?

Why cant dil tell pils straight? Why mothers and daughters can say anything and the next day all angry words will be forgotten??
Till now it's Like fighting a losing war... -

not all mum and daughter are like that. even if all is forgotten and forgiven, words still hurt.
because pils are not the dil's parents. no matter how much pils love the dil, even if their own son is the monster in the marriage, they will still be on his side especially when it comes to $$$, child custody etc. blood is thicker than water.
you are not fighting a losing war just a long long endles war till one party drops dead. (sorry for sounding so ..................).
dont lose heart. -
LOLMum:
PILs are not the DIL's biological parents...so they won't side with her. This proverb about blood thicker than water is very true. When it comes to sensitive issues esp, they will ALWAYS side the son.

Donkey years back, I was told to continue working after getting married so that HER son won't be suffering from having to support the family :x -

Although you did not elaborate on what sort of decisions your PILs decide for your kids, sounds serious if you feel so helpless.
It is time to be more firm yourself if you feel very strongly about it. For eg. if it is about schools, parents register their kids themself right? So you just go ahead to register at the school of your choice lah, not your PILs!
Not sure what other decision you are talking about. If you can share perhaps we can give our opinion.
No matter what you have to be very polite with PILs but if it is very crucial I won't hesitate to \"tell them off\" because sometimes hard to control my emotions.

To me, as long as it involves my kids, I will get hubby to see my point. If need be, have to tell them off if nice tone doesn't work.

things like which tuition teacher, which tuition centre shld the kids go to. comments like the teacher i choose is not good. Those ballet, art and craft classes are useless things. Even primary school they also wan a say in it.

Stood firm on your decision when made. Don have to listen to them. Just like my case,i insisted to send my kid for phonic class and they kept said i stress the kid. I don care and went ahead for it. Today my kid did well in school and i felt happy that i did not listen to them else i will regret for the rest of my life. I made my own call as i know what is good for them.
