      When I'm changed, will also ask if DH going out with me. Has also tried to dissuade DH from going breakfast with me or send kids to tuition along with me. I sure hope she won't worsen.



      Oh dear! Jealous? What does your hubby think of this?

      DH thinks nothing of it. As usual, feel that I'm over-reactive, but of course in my perspective, he's probably in self-denial (just like so many other things which I have pointed out and came true. Eventually he sensed it but still refused to acknowledge)
      So I'll just have to be 'good' and wait for him to get 'enlightened'......

          Alamak, they see you good to bully! How could your husband let them do this? You should consider standing up for yourself....
          :sad:

            Me too! At least my MIL 动口不动手. I don't think I can endure this kind of treatment.

                Hubby's insensitive and brainless sister asked her brothers to get lawyer to assess parents assets. Can you imagine that? It's plain obvious her angmoh husband brainwashed her.

                That cheapskate is supposed to be a dentist and he is eyeing a piece of the 3 room flat. Eldest son (hubby's brother) got so mad and shot his stupid sister a nasty email to leave the flat alone. Omg, that stupid woman wants a will written claiming that parents are forgetful. She wants division of assets.
                My sil wanted to buy my her parents' flat for less than half the market value so that she could be SAHM. The flat is being rented out while my ils stay at my place. Amazing thing is DH didn't think there was anything wrong with this until I talked to him several times on this issue. Totally selfish!

                  The reason why MIL "dare" to abuse the DIL whether verbally or physically is basically because they think that they have the right to do so as a MIL. Also, we have been taught from young to respect the elderly. Hence, we DIL will try to be accomodating to avoid putting our DH in a difficult position. Sadly, our DH will think that it is our duty to be a submissive wife and DIL and they don’t see the "suffering" we are enduring quietly. I was once a very tolerating DIL who had to put up with not only my MIL but also my SIL until an incident happened. I stormed out of the house and never stepped into their place for years. After my FIL’s much persuasion over the years, I started to visit or meet them on special occasions like CNY. From the incident, I realise that people will take advantage of you if you are too nice. From then on, my MIL "dare not" provoke me as she now knows that I am not a tame little dog anymore. As long as I am not in the wrong, I will not hesitate to speak up or defend myself. With the new GEN Y or Z, the world will turn around.

                    So they definitely had it all planned...the old ones staying at your place and the sister enjoying a BIG discount. :stupid:

                      I don’t understand why my sil thinks it’s ok for her parents and indirectly us to subsidize her to be SAHM. Even more amazing that her DH doesn’t think it’s an insult to him.

                        could it be financially they are worse off than your family and being a sahm might also be a last option for them. thus they are trying to tighten their belts and looking for ways to save money.


                        your dh doesnt think much of it well, maybe he doesnt think he is in need of his parents’ $$$.

                        but if it pure greed, then not very nice.
