my BIL's wife

The most hated person in my list.
Followed by BIL, SILs, then PIL.

Will always remember BIL and BIL's wife's comments about DS1's PSLE results. I shall wait and see their DDs' PSLE results in 3 and 4 years' time.....

And SIL#1.. ? Sometimes I wonder why I need to see the colour of her face to determine whether I will enjoy that day's visit at my PIL's house......

hi! everyone here, i am back from my one week holiday liao.


really happy to go holiday and not see any of those evil ppl faces, SILS, PILS. We did not go for re dinner coz we left days before the festive begins. But my Dh today passed the angpow to his parents at their office though we did not go visiting them at their home coz PIls they all resume work liao. We know we are not welcome by that single SIL so why bother to visit and see her face. With this somehow end the festive liao. But PILs did not pass any angpow to my DD. So i told my Dh maybe next year dun need even to give PILs angpow liao since we had done our part. after so many rounds of fights, quarrel etc........this family has left nothing liao except hatred for each other all thanks to that always remain at home SIL. PIls are contented as long as their precious old princess is with them till they die. ha ha .....i used to care what they say if we din do the CNY visit, but i dun care now. :imcool:

We went to in-law’s place to 拜年， but without fail every year my MIL insisted they must come over to my place to 拜年 too. I already very busy to going to my parents and uncles’ place, yet i still need to rush back home to meet their visiting time. I thought should be younger ones goes to the elder’s place got the other way round one? To me it is a weird practice, thinking maybe next time I do not go to their place wait for them to come.

Since your in laws want to go to your place, then you can save the trouble of going to theirs...really strange, haven't heard of elders visiting their kids instead. This way, you can visit your parents and relatives and come back to wait for empress dowager to drop by later...can discuss with your hubby if it's ok with him.

So that is the way they think.


Wow that is really being unfair to be placing all the burden on the first child.

Will you do that to yr first child/son or wld you rather that siblings share the burden?

Are you living with yr parents/yr in-laws or on yr own?

Shared with my hubby last night on this after posting. Told him next year we no need to go visiting lar, just wait for them to come. What's the point of visiting them in the morning and then later in the evening meeting them at my place...weird. He asked me to tell my MIL that next year. Think I would share with her my plan next year to include an allocated time slot for her visiting on 1st day. Since she would usually check with us on our schedule to see when they can visit us during reunion dinner.

Initial few years, I have my SIL's family visiting us too together with my in-law's on the CNY2. I cooked meal for all of them then. I find it weird how come we never get invited to visit their place (SIL's place) to my MIL. From then on my SIL's family is missing from then visiting session. Told my hubby they are here for FREE meal? My SIL is also older than hubby btw.
