:grphug: for everyone!

Imami:
Yes, especially when they get older and suddenly realized they would need you more than you need them eventually.Things may change de. My mil was not very nice to me too until recently. But these days, she is much nicer.
We, as younger generation, still need to do what we shd do. Last time when people tell me this, I thought - don't bull shit la, where got such thing? They won't change de lah.but now, I see it for myself. -

:hi5: my mil only changed after she fell very very sick. Her children were either very busy (daughter working shifts, got maid and kid prob, younger son's wife in and out of hospital due to complicated pregnancy) or not in sg (my hubby). I try to help where I can.

You are a good DIL, Imami! :salute: -

Nah... No la. Not being humble here, but really no la. My parents in law didn't accept much of my help. I believe they know/feel guilty that I am saddled with a lot since my hubby travels a lot for work. But at least they appreciates my thoughts.Imami:

Cny is also a time I meet my whole extended family, everyone at one go. It's like a gathering of some sort. My mum cooks for every meal and my sil washes every time. The rest of the adults help to clear the food and table while the older niece and nephew take care of the younger one. -

Your MIL is very blessed to have you...don't mind me saying, she changed only after she fell very sick. But most importantly, your efforts are appreciated.Imami:

if u nice to her,she suspects u've ulterior motive.
When u stay away fr. her,she treats that u wanna severe the relationship.
When u r too close to her, she'll call u non-stop.

No I don't mind - it's a fact - she became nicer only after she fell very sick. But at least the relationship changes for the better. That's the most impt point.
