In-law problems?
-
Had reunion dinner with hubby’s family yesterday. Having reunion with my parents tonight. Mother in law will be home alone so my daddy asked her to join us.
I was busy in the kitchen and mil came over and started bossing me about how I should "do" my chores. So I am here now shufing the net and leaving the chores to her now since she enjoys doing them… -
Alamak, my mil called my son her fave grandson’s name twice! Once at the reunion dinner and once at the bainian on first day of CNY. My son is older and has been with them very often so I don’t understand how she could replace my son’s name with that of a 2yo… except to say now I have proof that she shows favouritism!

Sign of old age/dementia perhaps?
Last time my grandfather could not recall who I was & one time when I brought my kids back to Malaysia to visit him, he refused to believe me....thinking I was joking as he insisted I'm still a young gal ie.only 18yo. -
Very happy. Just :siam: a lunch at mil's relative. Just sent my hubby & kids while I stayed home. Know mil not very pleased, but last year experience it was torturing. That place was totally filled & tho the festive mood is there, it's so noisy that I end up with headache. Tho i will miss out on the sumptuous meal, am totally satisfied with my instant noodles & enjoying peace & quietness. Mil will not be working this week, now gotta plan activities so that I dun have to face her whole day for next 3 days.

Shiok, I am done with my visiting for this year. Had reunion lunch with them on sun...and visited them yest. The old one is haggard bcos she doesn't cook and always eating downstairs...no nutrition at all, plus smoking heavily. Asked her to cook simple soup and a rice since just 2 people, but she said just go downstairs and eat...so troublesome to cook.
Hubby told me he has given up advising her. -

Well then, I believe you must still look like a young, hawt n fresh 18yr old xiao meimei for him to insist that! :salute:cherrygal:

Nope no dementia. She is the most alert woman I know... still working and controlling everything...cherrygal:

My MIL did that with her grandchildren. Think it's quite normal tripping over names. :scratchhead:
Definitely not due to favouritism in my case.

Me too tutormum! :faint:
Especially for close sounding names! :oops:
Slip of the tongue.. :politebleah: -
Mine here has slight dementia but strangely not the ‘wire’ regarding MONEY issues…that area is still very alert.
