In-law problems?

Next week is DS's exams and my ILs 'die die' must meet for makan.. ..
Not like they will take a second look my DS, just want to drama, most probably get DH to pay for something.. ... :stompfeet: -
My mil is the opp. Super wasteful. :rotflmao: never off the electricity, fan, wash clothes on 1/4 load..... :rotflmao: Our electricity bill is $420 for a family of 8.... And she do not cook, but like to go market n buy meat, fish, then buy tons of cooked food.... N i have to throw it away after it gone bad....

I was just telling myself a few days ago... Wah.. good, nobody seem to have MIL problems lately... not bad, not bad... :evil: :evil:
My MIL is one of those super saver type. Back when I just married DH... If I am taking shower in my master bathroom, she will be reading outside my bathroom door (semi-transparent plastic door will lend some light)... leave the entire house dark - save electricity!! If I read on my bed, she will sit on the floor and read there. If I move from one place to another, she will trail me around the to make sure that I switch off anything that is not in use. :siao: :siao: Extreme, right?
The amount of dishes that she cook for 3 persons, I can finish them all. Because vege is expensive (and need to wash!!), but rice can eat one giant bowl and shower with plain water. Boiling soup? Must be idiot cos it takes so much gas to boil!! How to cook? First, heat up the AMC pot. Then, put exactly 1 drop of oil (because oil is not healthy). Then dump in the veg and then close the lid and switch off the fire. Let it steam itself.... And, the rice will actually be done, even if you switch it off x minutes before it \"ting\"... so she stands at the pot and wait for the moment to arrive, and switch it off. Some days the rice seem just a tad undercook.... :sick: :sick:
Suffice to say, I have not been to her house for 5 years (she continues to come over 3 to 5 times a day, everyday)... maintain minimum communication with her.... probably in doing so save my sanity and my marriage! :faint: :faint: -

Hi 5, my sil also inherited pils' genes. I could never understand a single lady in her 40s could have so many things, to the extend that her junks are over her room, n there is only a walkpath to her bed from the door. :yikes: she can have more things than me n my 3 kids. Same with my pil's room. I always closes my eyes when i passes by their room, if not, i will get mad fm seeing all the junk. FIL, claim that he need a study room, n use that room to store his things til there is no walk space in the room. :faint:
Oh yes... we realised that dh's eldest sis seems to have inherited pils' genes.... as we used to stay in the same development, she inherited some of our stuff that we wanted to throw away eg. shoe racks, chairs, etc... she also asked for the lights in one of the bedroom and we replaced it with a simple light. Till the extent that bil was like.... :faint: haha obviously he is not the karang guni type..... But she is ok we just let her take whatever....
Well... so much for the sharing.... But yes we are still staying together rather harmoniously. Just got to laugh off some of these stuff and close one/ two eyes. With such mindset, life will be happier.
But now, they store their things in living room, kitchen, storeroom n everywhere. I am going mad. I can only put my things n kids things in my room :sad: -
Some mothers-in-law are really too much…with DIL, they want to boss them…yet, can’t control own daughters.
My father’s sister…fierce and bossy with DIL…yet with her own daughter, she cannot handle her. Like hubby’s sister, she can go home in the wee hours of the morn…but with her sons, she sets curfew. -
My in laws like to open their door wide and switch on the aircon. :faint:
Any solutions? After repeated closing the door for them, tell them.... And worst, when i tell them we are paying higher electricity bill every mth, mil can say, cos tariff increase mah. But i am refering to the chart that reflect the exact amt of electricity we use monthly. -
SAHM Chew:
change the door system, ask a quote from any contractor to put the mechanism to have the door auto close... if i were u, i would rather pay for a new door just once than to pay higher bills every mth never ending...My in laws like to open their door wide and switch on the aircon. :faint:

those PIL are just being difficult with whatever they have control over... the things they do does not serve any purpose most of the time, it is more to satisfy their own ego... so that they can boast in front of their friends...Some mothers-in-law are really too much...with DIL, they want to boss them...yet, can't control own daughters.

Wonder why most of us here are women having in-law problems. What about the men? Don't they have issues with their in-laws too and voice out their grievances? Maybe men see things differently or simply just 'bo chap'? :scratchhead:
-
I guess men are not so nit-picking as we women are, that’s why they dun have much issues with in-laws.

Hmm, thanks for suggesting. But auto close door may not be a solution, as the air con is not on 24 hrs. So the door need to be open when the aircon is off.
