In-law problems?

Janet, oh sure agree with you about bullying the 'quieter' or 'nicer' ones. If you dare to be fierce, you see how nice they can be. But when you are always nice to them, they just bully big time. Can even tell us the other DIL of theirs cannot say one. Later hurt her feelings! We got no feelings???

I just don't have the interest to talk to her bcos she has lots of crap to reply me. After so many years, I have enough of HER playing angel and devil.
My eldest SIL can tell her off and old one will not dare to drama. When my hubby told her to cut down on smoking, she told him that is as good as dying. I told my SIL those words...old one kena jelak jelak.

Anyone out there with in-laws pressure as far as kids’ exam results are concerned?

My DS will be condemned if he doesn’t do well.

Mine here couldn't be bothered. She is more worried whether she has money to stash and to buy cigarette.

Lucky you! DS, DH and I are going to be condemned and smack with sacarstic remarks. Rather insults.

Hi fifi,

If mine here has anything to compare, it will be which kid gives her the most pocket money :mad: other than that, she knows nuts.

Hi Janet,


Oh same here. If we have a few thousand dollars for MIL instead of a few hundreds to spend every month buying the lastest whatsoever brand, then I’m sure our status would be very different.

If she gets a few K every month, she will be puffing like a chimney.
Don't want to bother about her now...energy level is channelled towards hubby and kids.

I think i agree not to see each other so often, maybe like once a month or durring CNY, Family get together or kids birthday.

How will we as parents feel if our kids only visited us once a month or during CNY and other special occasions only?

Sometime it is not easy to stay with in laws. However, visiting them once a week is not that tough. Our kids are watching & learning from us all the times. By not visiting our parents or in laws will give our kids the same message. (It is OK if I don't visit my parents often or maybe just during CNY) We have to put ourselves in their shoes, we want our kids to visit us often when we grow old too.

my husband has 11 other siblings and they tend to compare exam results all the time. The worse are his sisters who always ask me 'so how many As did your son score this time?'. Still remember the SMS they sent when the PSLE results were released. My son was still at home but they already asking me how many points he scored??? :slapshead:
