In-law problems?

[buds]

When i was watching parliament the other day and then suddenly from nowhere came the sentence so loud and clear from Mr Khaw Boon Wan who said this.. \"All families want to live with their parents.\" I was like :yikes:! \"Good way to show filial piety and for grandparents to help out with taking care of the grandchildren.\" :siao:


Seriously a sweeping statement. :rant:

How many mini pigeon holes do we have in our already tiny pigeon holes?

Who is the ALL he was referring to?

And puhleeze.. mine won't bother to want to take care of the grandchildren. :roll:
Not interested okay. They some more want freedom. I mean who doesn't right?
Already take care of own children so long.. not many want to continue the
business after that with grandchildren. Time for travel.. happy retirement
plans to kick in.. and spiritual healing/guidance for the afterlife.

Staying together? For the good of everyone? EVERYONE???
I think higher divorce rates got la.

nowasdays grandparents also must work to pay the bills so how to babysit grandchildren even though they would love to… sigh

Staying together for the good of everyone?!- I think it is only good for the one saying it. They probably don’t know the ground enough, nobody thinks that!

he should give us a list of MIW who live with their parents or in laws (in the same house). cannot be same block different units since he said "All families want to live with their parents." "live with" and not "near to".



even lky is not living with his married kids.

He's a MAN lah... all the men think like that. By EVERYONE, my husband means HIMSELF. He also said it's good for everyone. I gave him a speech that looks like the above... peppered with

\"Everyone? Who is everyone? I am not everyone? It's good for me?.... Blah... blah... blah...\" But hor... I talk big only because finally, I ended up staying with his parents and I smile when everyone says it's good for everyone because obviously I am no one.

HDB is building more studio apartments for senior citizens, right ?

Honestly, it’s very hard to stay with in-laws…they have their way of doing things and same goes for us.
I would definitely choose my parents over hubby’s parents anytime. Reason is simple, my parents are the ones who care and love my kids more than his.

He is not living with his married kids...it was once mentioned that his 2nd son (LHY) stays a few doors away from his wife's family.

Hi shine_fs,

:hi5:

My kids love their maternal grandparents and remember their birthdays without me having to remind them.

My DS only gets reminded of his paternal grandparents when they give him expired biscuits at dinner once in a blue moon, oh yes, not forgeting. The CNY dramas.. ..They don't care about DS and definitely not hiding their feelings. DS is fine with all the love from his maternal grandparents...
