Imami:
Jennifer, u do read insider's ζ‘θ± thread right? Remember what she mention about planting a seed iby having a thought?
Not all dil will bash mil like that.
I understand. Just want to let my children know that it is not compulsory for their spouses to eat what I cook.
I do not like my MIL's cooking but hv to go to her place to eat bcos hubby says so. Used to be everyday when my children were younger, then cut to 2 weekends, then cut to once a weekend.
It had not been easy to request to cut down the frequency. She expected all of us to like her cooking.
I do not wish for my children to go through the unpleasant process with their spouses. -

ηΈθ§ε₯½,ηΈε€ιΎI believe that when you are new to each other, try to avoid too-frequent interaction.
Sometimes it can be a cultural shock for each other. I believe the warming up part needs at least 2~3 yrs...unless you are already a regular with the other family since bf/gf time. -
Nebbermind:
Yup agree. I think my in law family came too close for comfort in the initial years when we were dating. My sil even want to organize a bday party for me with then bf now hubby's whole family. I was like,\" eh common la, I only want to spend the time with your brother only.\"I believe that when you are new to each other, try to avoid too-frequent interaction.

Jennifer:
Jennifer, u are a nice mum and I think you will be a nice and reasonable mil in time to come. Having the idea that some space and \"freedom\" for the dil is a great start and shows your thoughtfulness and sensitivity.Imami:

Having little or no expectation is a great start. Too many mils have too high expectation (my mil included) of their dils and that resulted in a lot of friction and unhappiness. If my mil was less critical about me back then, I think I would have lived and breathed happier
But if \"suffering\" for 10 years mean she would respect me more as an equal person, someone worthy of her son, or mean less tension between hubby and me, I would gladly \"suffer\" my due. -
