      I think most DILs won't want to stay with in-laws. Honestly, I don't fancy that idea either. No way am I going to house SIL. She better stay with her parents. Hubby's sister has absolutely no manners.[/quote]Heng huh, mil kids all married and have their own families... 😉

Told hubby they CANNOT sell off that flat bcos they need a place of their own so that she can throw tantrums. If daughter comes back to visit, she can also stay there.

          My mil probably regrets selling off her own flat 2 yrs ago cos she always threaten to drop off all her \"current duty\" when my kids get to her nerves or hubby and me didnot meet her housechores expectations......anyway, talk so much oso no use..she stuck in my place since she already crashed with her other son's wife and I stuck with her staying forever in my place. the only way is to mininise and prevent unnecessary conflicts and if it does, SOS hubby for to intervene :lol:

            LKVM,

            If hubby doesn’t step in, then his wife will continue to get jelak jelak with his mother. Men are smart, they won’t want to be sandwiched in between. My hubby is one. He cannot handle his mother.

              I guess depends on circumstances..if small matters to hubby, he will ask me not to dwell about it and \"give way\" since mil already old and to appreciate her help with kids and household stuff....then no choice lor...however, small matters wil accumulate to \"big matter\", then hubby will come in \"automatic\" to \"tell his mother off\" before issues turn sour. :lol:

                  Nebbermind, very envy you…as much as possible, i tell myself not to be petty…thus, will balance "peace" and "proper education" to kids whatever comments from mil.

                    You lucky guy. My hubby's sister has no qualms opening my drawers, fridge and cupboards to examine contents. She is NOT welcomed in my house.

                        Wah, opening people’s drawers, fridge etc…really no manners leh. Irritating.


                        Actually, before my MIL shift in she did that too. She would complain to my DH "Your wife very lazy and untidy. Her things not properly kept and clothes untidy" :!: Now that she’s with us, initially I found her in my room opening my cupboard still…seems lesser now. But just not too long ago, my hubby was teasing me about not enough working clothes, immediately she was in my room opening my wardrobe and telling DH there’s a lot of unironed clothes hanging over at the other room. :x ACE
