        Any brand can kill, but need almost the whole bottle. That's why this way of killing is not recommended. 😂

          Hmmmm I have some old bottles that I probably won't use and it's probably getting stale....wonder will that work on lizards, it's definitely easier to carry than boiling water.....just need a stronger spray so that I can stand far enough tho.

            Read that some of you having horrible mils. I was glad my mil was not. In fact, she was one of the nicest mil that I came across.


            No, she wasn't educated, she didn't have any education at all (so, I dun think because one doesn't have any education means she would be a horrible mil) not even pr schools. But she can cook, do chores very well.

            But she battled with illness and she is gone now. 😢

            Actually, I think a lot of you are very fortunate, at least, there is someone to be around should you need help to jaga with kids, just to keep a few hrs look out when u run errands, etc Although you have to bear with plenty of nonsenses, but that's another story. Just hope that you guys appreciate what you have, and cheer up! :xedfingers:

              smurf,

              how to appreciate mil if they are really mean, they instigate their sons to go against the dil, some even told the dil not to interfer if their husbands go hanky-panky outside. I heard one mil who forced the dil to wash all the laundry, do housework, cook even though the dil has a full-time job. On top of that, this mil demanded the dil to give her an allowance of $400/mth. Can the dil appreciate such mil?
              Easy for you to say, because you had a good mil.

                Sall,


                Think you didn’t read my post properly. Dil having full time, do chores, still must give allowance, of course, I didn’t tell you to appreciate her! But if it’s just nagging (old people tend to do that), didn’t observe cleanliness, etc, I think it’s still ok.

                If the mil is a clean freak, the dil sure has something to say also. The point is, to what extent?

                I think I shan’t say anymore, this in law thing is very sensitive. I know you are saying that its easy for me to say, coz I had a good mil, but there is a different side of story also.

                When she was around, I didn’t appreciate her, complained that she nagged. But after she is gone, then, I appreciate her cooking, help to take care of kid even when she was sick.

                  I prefer no body help to jaga if it ends up having a fight on minor things. Plus not sure if will spoil my kid more...

                      This dil is very timid, and scared of her mil. So mil bullies her more, even makes her hand-wash all the laundry, the useless husband also scared of the mother. So she doesn't dare not to do or give money. And she's a graduate. So stupid, rite?

                        But why cannot use washing machine?
