        Yes, especially when they get older and suddenly realized they would need you more than you need them eventually.

          :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.

              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.

                  Wow, this is sooo nice (if you are on good terms with everyone). Are you cooking for all the Gathering?

                  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.

                      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.

                      how to deal wf this kinda MIL? :?

                        I think I more blessed to meet her son :rotflmao:

                        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.
