In-law problems?

[CayennePepper]

Share my horror stories. Can't help it when i saw the title of this thread.


I stayed with my in-laws while we waited for our house to be built. My MIL loved to beat me to collecting the mail so she could go through my letters. Esp credit card statements! I guessed she wanted to find out how much i earned and how much i spent... Month after month she had the cheek to return the opened envelopes to me with the excuse \"oh, sorry, i saw the wrong name.\" Aiyoh, my surname is very different from theirs! No way this can be an honest mistake.

After I decided to be a SAHM, she made endless snide remarks, always within my hearing, about how my SIL is \"sooooo capable! she can afford to pay for her own things!\" and during family dinners, always, ALWAYS, comments sadly to others that her oldest son has to work so hard to support his wife who \"just wants to sits at home even though she also has a law degree.\" Grrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr! Just typing that makes me want to :stupid:

I know my MIL definitely wants to be queen bee and wants to lord over me in a million ways, too bad for her my dh is a loving (and peace-loving) husband haha.

Give MIL a lot of money for monthly expenses....

Most of the MIL loves $$$$
Maybe you wives hv control the husband $$$, so she will be upset that her son being taken away.....

What an interesting theory
But may have some truth......$$$ is one thing they cannot get over with. Mine always try to push hand-me-downs over & stop me from getting new things.....well, as time went, I turned pretty resentful of her behaviour & stopped being so obedient. Realised once we have the support of DH, they will not be so pushy. :roll:

But I will not give MIL anymore $$. By letting her stay with us & rent out her whole flat (endup I have to bear & suffer all her nonsense), she is already making thousands extra per month with zero outlay.

I gave my MIL big angbao during CNY, buy her diamond n branded wallet during Xmas n birthday, in fact I m more generous towards her than her own children. Yet, I was mistreated by her. I dun think money is the issue here, she simply think I snatch her son from her n jealous when DH treats me well

That old one asked my maid to accompany her to the toilet…obviously it is more like fishing info…the toilet was nearby, and she was fit enough to go by herself. I called my maid and asked her where she was going. She said she was asked by old one to accompany her to loo. After that, the old one said she doesn’t need to use the loo.

From that incident, I told all my maids to answer only 2 questions when they happened to meet old one:
1) name
2) maid’s age
Anything else, ask me. Tell her I do not like them to talk so much.

This particular thread is a punching bag.

thank you…fifi & janet


i say too much to my ILs over their biased treatment also no use cos if they think they are right, there is no way to make them see their error.

so i always console myself…ren zhai zhuo, tian zhai kan (What Men do, Heaven can see)
