In-law problems?
-
CWC,
If I were you, I probably won’t give in. If DH can’t make it, be it, but prepared to foot ALL the bills for my outing loh.
But then, in my case I am one up because (wives take note), I have the car registered in my name, so technically, it is MY CAR. You want to take your mum, by all means but please go take cab. Owner has priority … -
Hi cwc,
I will not give in to MIL too… …I will book a taxi for her… -

Hi cwc,Hi cwc,
I will not give in to MIL too.. ..I will book a taxi for her..
I won't give in either...hubby has other siblings right ? They should do their part. If your hubby entertains his mother, then enjoy yourself and make him foot ALL the bills as compensation.
Oh yes, the car is registered under MY name too. -

Hmmm.....my first job is to transfer the car under MY name or transfer the PILs out to other house :evil:

Thanks, thanks. Had fun reading all the suggestions, make my day :dancing: i like the booking taxi part too, why I never think of that
Lucky for MIL (or for me?? or for DH???), she 'forced' one of the sibling to take some hours off to help her today....but still, the fav son is spared. Anyway, my dinner plan should be able to go on as planned :rahrah: -

[/quote]Aiyoh, you already doing such a noble thing by inviting them into your house. It's time your hubby's other siblings do something.
My hubby's spoilt brat brother always gives excuse that the car is not his, and so can't drive it. :mad: always collect letters for that idiot from his parents' letterbox bcos he doesn't want his wife to see them. -

Sigh, I can understand your :stompfeet: :mad: with the spoilt brat.....cos' I same same, talk or think about him makes my blood boil. Then my BP goes up, now try not to think about them (hard lah I know). Actually, in my case, one of the sibling is OK, still helps....it's the spoilt brat. Shall forget him, I got my dinner :rahrah: DH smart, MIL still asking him to drive her out....but he arranged it late......and only tell me about it on way home. He scared I purposely delay

Hi cwc,
When I think about it, it’s more like the car that his family is looking at…the fav son got value mah…can drive them here and there.
I don’t think the fav son would be that ‘favourite’ if he doesn’t have 4 wheels at beck and call. -
janet_lee88:
If all the mil's children have 4 wheels, then mil will not want to 'trouble' the fav son. Likewise, if eating out, mil won't want the fav son to pay the bill.Hi cwc,

Having 4 wheels is one thing, but the mil also chooses which son to be at beck and call. In my case here, the mouth always says 'everything must ask eldest son', but never practice what she preaches. Always the case.

Ha ha....here good venting ground

DH also eldest, 'fav' cos' everything bug him first.
Next 'fav' is also filial, he's actually a nice guy, he does help. He also kena whenever my DH not free.
The REAL fav is the spoilt one...cannot trouble him. If the other 2 not free, then no choice MIL will ask him. But just a simple - I'm not free, MIL immediately goes back to force the other 2. And mind you, the spoilt one is the one most free with NO KIDS loh. :mad:
Again, today, created a big fuss and the 2 'fav' must help her today (in fact, for whole week liao). Yet, not a single request made to spoilt brat. Today, we were out.....basin overflowed, MIL damn pissed & made so much noise when we came back......well, I already expected it, cos every Fri/Sat MIL will do soooo much things at kitchen & till basin start to choke. But as usual MIL denied. Anyway whoever UP there can see, I dun want to get involved liao....just happy she kena and had to clean up while I'm out. :evil: But blame us for not cleaning our pipe lah.....hallooooo before she shifted in, I never even had a 'slow flowing' basin loh
Anyway, MIL complain big time cos rushing to cook for spoilt brat - mind you, no one eating lunch today except spoilt brat. If the basin irks her so much, dun cook lah. :roll:
After lunch, spoilt brat can go home REST while the other 2 must change all their appt to help her later in the afternoon. FAIR? :skeptical:
Anyway, it has reached the stage when I will just watch and be 幸灾乐祸 whenever MIL kena, she deserve it. :laugh: I can slowly sense DH also not feeling good about her behaviour liao. In fact, last 2 days he has been rebuking her back for pestering him on trivial matters & nag until he gotta go out for a breather. Much as I pity DH, good that he suffers a bit under his own mom........at least he'll know what I'm going through.
But I still feel unfair that only 2 of them kena, the spoilt brat gets it all easy :rant: :stompfeet:
