        His father asked him to transfer money to his account.

        The children give sufficient money monthly for utilities and food. Yet this 2 spend money meant for food on cigarettes and beer. They are under-nourished. The children cannot say anything as parents are unwilling to listen. When hubby (the favourite son) advised his mother to cut down on smoking, she curtly told him this, ‘Might as well tell me to jump down’.

                I suppose a lot of our MIL /SIL requests stems from the fact that they feel disconnected or even lonely. Usually those that are otherwise does not have an active lifestyle or social life. They make a lot of requests (or demands) that seems otherwise illogical. But in fact, it is a reflection of their loneliness and insecurity. Sometimes when I get angry with MIL / SIL I remind myself of this theory. Makes it easier to forgive and forget.


                E.g. SIL refuses to pick up IT skills like copying files into CD - she gets my DH to do it everytime she wants to do this - middle of the night, weekends, etc. Taught her so many times for so many years but still… She also refuses to decouple her mobile phone bill from my husband’s bill, and wants my husband to pay. She makes more than DH - - but this is like a "connection" that she refuses to change.

                MIL gets my husband to read her bills and mails (but the highly educated SIL lives with her! and she is totally capable or reading!). They also get my husband to fix everything in the house (not that he is even good at it)… but really, they just want to feel that DH is still around, and still part of them.

                  ur SIL is very dependent on ur hb.


                  agree wf u that this is sign of their insecurity n loneliness.So they seek attn to fulfill their needs.If they’ve active social lives & purpose in life,for e.g. volunteer in community,they r able to divert their attn n energy somewhere.

                  My MIL doesn’t hv to worry for $$ n hsework. She has all the things to be taken care of.Thus, her focus is to find out what we’re doing n tries to interfere.yes,she is a control freak n my hb always says this is her nature n i’ve to accept.

                  The irritating part is my hb shares everything wf her! I told him off everytime. Even irritated him by telling him that ur mum treats u like daughter than son!

                    Actually, most people do not understand it is the MAN who provides the Y chromosome to have that precious son. I have 2 (a girl and a boy...no offence to anyone) and yet get bothered with 'what about a 3rd one?'

                    These people really have nothing to talk about...so pathetic.

                    LOL. They have nth better to do. I have 2 sons as most of you know and yet I was targeted as not having a daughter. I felt so sad whenever they ask me why dont try for the third one to have a girl. And now that I wan to adopt, I can hear them talking and saying that I cant conceive and so on

                    I have 3 boys and if anyone starts asking me to try for a girl, I will tell them it's too late as I have officially closed my factory and it is very expensive to reopen it.... :heresmyfish:

                        I have a girl going to be 9, and a boy who just turned 13. Another one??? :dowan: factory certified closed. My SIL just gave birth...the idea of sleepless nights, jabs and fever, teething pain, baby refusing to sleep and the growing up pains all over again is scary. Sorry, no to $8000.
