      my MIL is a hygiene freak as she when she mop the floor she would mopped it 3 times - floor detergent, disinfection, water, water… i think is over kill. Now she is older thankfully she outsourced this to the parttime auntie and not me else I would be whole morning just mopping the floor. Ironically due to $$ issue of paying the parttime auntie, she only comesHaving said that, in once every 2 weeks. Hence to me the floor is dusty after 3 days what. MIL would make up for the in-between cleaning herself.


      One practise of their which I cannot stand is on the saving of water in the loo. They would simply accumulate enough urine in the toilet bowl before flushing. Hence my family would avoid the common toliet whenever I visit them. Instead use the master room one.

        I like my toilet to smell nice...you never know anyone will pop by.
        My son's room is untidy with books passed down from my friend after PSLE. Now I'm waiting for 2012 Oct so that I can do a BIG spring-clean.
        In the meantime, I have to close 2 eyes and it's getting on my nerves.

          me too. Flush after use and hence to them we are wasteful esp now that the semi-flash thing is now not working.

            My FIL will never flush for no. 1, he will only flush if he is doing number 2, even though we have a sem-flush. So what I do is I will flush for him if I happen to see him going to the toilet and did not hear the flush sound. So as to prevent the stain and smell. :evil:

              I don't know much about the flushing at their house...all I know is I don't use the master bedroom toilet as it stinks.

                Once the toilet had a very strong urine smell and I was wondering why. The source was a small pool of urine on the other side of the toilet bowl. I asked what happend, and my FIL blamed my DS and asked him to aim properly :rotflmao: .

                He is just 4yos, height just tall enough to pee into the bowl, how on earth he managed to shoot to the other side...... :?

                I just quietly tell my FIL, if he cannot see liao, just sit down to pee. Now no more such accident.

                As for DS, he told me he did not pee outside the bowl, I told him, I believed him 😄 .

                  Hi SAHM_tan,

                  Your FIL sure knows how to push the blame. Poor 4 year old got blamed for nothing. I asked hubby how come their flat is so sticky when it’s just 2 people using. Shouldn’t mine be worse with 4 people and 2 tutors ?

                    What to do? Can choose hubby but not ILs.

                    I have more bad examples to teach my kids what is the right way :evil:

                        That could explain why during CNY, why my SIL’s (SAHM) kids announced to the relatives that they are in the top classes. My DH’s side of the family are not that into academic achievements. I was scratching my head why the announcement. Maybe she kena stress from others
