In-law problems?

buds:
Thanks buds for your support! :hugs: Yes, I might need that extra week just to recover from my emotional sufferings for those 2 days there
My heart will be with you throughout those times, minnie2004.
I :salute: your ability to compromise. As for the extra week,
treat it as your long deserved break to catch up with all the
ME time you need. Go pamper yourself girl! Then, come back
recharged. All my love.. :snuggles:
PS. It's good not to expect, so one will not be disappointed.
. Our last encounter took me a whole year to recover :x.
Anyway, I'll try my best to be strong. Won't let her affect me that much anymore. -

Maybe your kids look identical to your DH so your PILs can't deny the fact that they're their offsprings :lol:
This is new but sounds quite true for lots of my friends but doesnt suit me cause my IL's love my kids to the fullest so much so that I need to sometimes ask them not to over pamper them as they kinda spoil them too

Minnie,
I know how you feel bcos I can’t even tolerate 2 hours facing them.
lovekidsverymuch,
you’re lucky to have in laws who love the kids. -
lovekidsverymuch,
The paternal grandparents want recognition without effort or love put in. Is there such a thing ? -

Hope your throat is better

auntieM,
My throat is much better today...thanks for asking
Still trying to breathe bcos the nose is blocked.
The paternal grandmother always ask my kids who she is...as if she is some big deal. My son replies her, 'you are my daddy's mother'. Then she asks the same question again and gets the same reply. What the heck is she hoping to hear ? -

Mine repeatedly ask for DS school name and timing over the years too!
Wait till one day your son add 'ONLY' and say 'you are only my daddy's mother'.... -

think your MIL has identity crisis... maybe she don't know who she is??!!
AuntieM,
wow, like that she will really :stupid: :stupid: :stupid: -
janet_lee88:
Fully agreed. You sow what you reap. They assume they'll automatically be loved since the grandchildren bear their family name. The kids are very simple, the more time you spend with them, the closer they'll be with you. There's no shortcut.lovekidsverymuch,

My parents earned DD's love by taking care of her when she was a baby til 2.5 years old. MIL on the other hand, is healthy enough to travel around the world (she went on a safari in africa during CNY!) but too weak to babysit
.
Now DD will from time to time pick up the phone and call gong gong & po po to chat. She never calls nai nai, unless forced upon by daddy. She also likes to do some drawings, put in an envelope and asks me to mail to my parents. To my parents, these are their greatest rewards.
