The fun part is ..I can fully comprehend her lingo, I just act blur..

:rotflmao: :rotflmao:

Does she understands your dialect? If not next time you too call up ur mom on phone and talk...

She does a little.. ..more pek chek for her to hear my DS yak away in my dialect.. .. :razz:

When mine here doesn’t gossip, she wants to pretend to be a Cantonese. If not, she will be yakking away in her dialect. Alamak, she is not a Cantonese and she will never be…for goodness sake.

[auntieM]

Probably the dialect used in their 'Oscar Academy'.. ..

My MIL like to yak away in her broken cantonese too..
Watch too much TVB series, Lisa Wang wanna be but cannot make it.. ..
Quite paiseh for her especially when she butterflies around .. :faint:

I wish I could 'laugh it off' too, Chen. But my MIL is no easy pea to deal with. She is such an extremely good actress that she can convince the whole world she is a good MIL to me but ONLY DH and I know best. :sick:


Btw, any of your hubbies give their mothers monthly allowance? Mine does, from the time he graduated and started worked until now when he has his own family...she said is to repay her the money she had spent on his overseas education. But isn't it parents' responsibililty to provide for their children's education? Especially when they can well afford to.

Any views on this? I don't know cos I paid my own way (from giving tuition and part time work) thru uni as my family couldn't afford it.

Chenonceau:

Soooooooo... Angelight... it seems that lotsa people go for the strategy Laugh and Think Them Silly!! :rotflmao:

Mine still gives though my MIL is not short of money. She once said that he has to continue giving her when he joked about stopping. Wonder why she needs so much money when she has enough to spend and not spare a thought for her son who is the sole breadwinner.

:snuggles: Come here and vent. We'll be here to listen and empathise.

My husband gives them enough to get by. They have no money otherwise. I give mine an allowance but it is a token. My own parents are very comfortably off.

Thanks, Chen. :hugs: Venting it out here does help, to a certain extent. But when I'm offline and have to face that 'mountain' again, my heart sank to the lowest pit. :sad:

[auntieM]

Would be so lucky if just giving monthly allowance.. ..

DH have to handle gambling debts (BIL's as well), dinners and never ending 'gatherings'.. ..birthdays and anniversary...blah.. :faint:
Last couple of years DH stopped attending quite a few liao, told MIL we're busy.. ..MIL just keep calling..
I keep quiet de.. ...DH have to 'wake up his idea' on his own.. .. :roll:
