In-law problems?

Funz:
How come she doesn't cook proper food? Trying to save money or no motivation to cook?
When I go over the MIL's I will prepare something that she likes to eat and bring over. Usually fish cos she likes fish.TheAnswer:
My mil treats me fairly well. Sometimes when I go over, she prepares tonic for me.
Got motive one. :evil: If not it will be porridge with canned peanuts and fried beehoon or mee tai mak with taugeh.
Nowadays DH will pick her up and bring her over to our place. She will sometimes request her fav like sambal sotong, assam fish and I will gladly cook those for her. -

Haha how about this. When i had my 1st boy, who is also the 1st grandchild of the family, she came, saw him in the nursery, and commented loudly so that all my other relatives and friends could hear, : \"so small, like a kitten, so ugly!\" She never bought me a single thing/tonic when I was preggie and that was the \"gift\" she gave me when she visited. No considerations of my feelings and \"face\". My friends and parents were so angry on my behalf!when i had my son, she visited me in hospital and even sat on the chair...when i had #2 a girl, she called a dozen times to change the timing....when she eventually came, both her hands were behind her back, peered over and walked out of the room.
not all daughter in laws are unhappy for no reason. -

It's NOT abt the gender of the baby for my case.....when i had my son, she visited me in hospital and even sat on the chair...when i had #2 a girl, she called a dozen times to change the timing....when she eventually came, both her hands were behind her back, peered over and walked out of the room.

Surprisingly, i wasnt angry or unhappy with her, perhaps i already \"factored in\"....
I rmb when my dad asked whereabt my MIL, i even lied to him that she came and had gone home..
When bb was 1 month old, we brought her to see grandma....
Hub was kinda of reluntant to go since grandma wasnt keen in the 1 st place.....
But i insisted.....told him had to go lah....out of formality..... -
Son had cleft...as such he cannot be brought out of nursery. Only myself and hubby can go in. She made boo boo about it. I don't have any tonics either...so what with first grandson. She sat on the chair like some dowager...when friend came to visit me, old one's face was so unpleasant...my friend whispered she had to leave as it was uncomfortable to stay. I felt so bad and also mad with the old one :mad:

Likewise, not all MILs and not all the time.....they are only human.3Boys:
MILs can be hard on the DILs, but from many of the posts here, I see the DILs can also be very hard on the MILs. Every small comment is taken as an affront.
Not all DILs and not all the time lah... Also, we are only human...
Only they aren't on the internet bashing their DILs in public forums. -

Sigh, can please don't call them THE OLD ONE? We are all not that young too you know... don't know how I'll feel if my future sil calls me \"the old one\" :sad:
Prefer your \"honey bunny\" and \"Hello Kitty\" that you used on your grandma
PS. Sorry, just being straight forward.... -

They are at the sidelines.. arms a-flailing.. :mad: with their DILs. :nailbite:
The ones chillaxing at KFC after their marketing a bit more tame. Phew..
One or two would tell me how lucky my mil is because I go marketing (and cook), even when they see that I'm all up in arms with my boys and loads of plastic bags. Sometimes they stop their heated discussion to ask me what's cookin up in my kitchen that day.
Oh boi they don't know my mil..

TheAnswer:

FIL was the kind that cannot stay home. DH and SIL hardly goes home for dinner even before marriage. So left only with MIL who is not so into food. So when on the occasions that we go back, a bit tedious to suddenly cook up a storm when there is nothing in the kitchen.
When I go over the MIL's I will prepare something that she likes to eat and bring over. Usually fish cos she likes fish.Funz:
