      hi winth,


      Just let your DH go with her lah. No point forcing yourself into it if you're not welcomed.

      My DH has went on holidays with MIL several times before, sometimes just the 2 of them (even his colleagues were surprised that he went on trips with his mom rather than with me), sometimes with our kids. I'm much better off alone than joining those trips πŸ˜‰ . Just have to tolerate the few days not seeing my kids 😞

          agree with auntiem.


          although my preference will be, DH goes WITH the kids…then you can enjoy time alone. YEAHHHHHH!!

            Hi all, like shi ne_fs :rubhands: I'm back on the portal....


            Winth, my 2 cents' worth is that she doesn't really want you to come along...(sorry very blunt). If you've read my thread eons back, my MIL had a similar trend of thought...she's more skilled :roll: , in front of FIL and DH, \"volunteered\" for me to go along on the trip while she looks after my kids! :!:

            Anyway, if that's the way she wants it, my suggestion is that you let DH and children (if possible) go with her so that there's bonding time! Not sure if you want to go on the trip with her! πŸ™ My rationale although I'd sure I woudl have a crazy time looking after my 3 DD's...is that there probably ain't that many years left.

            DH is suggesting that we go for a few days' trip this June with PIL's before a grand family tour.... :stupid: :stupid: :stupid: I'm trying to wriggle my way outta it!


            All the best, winth. Would be πŸ™ -ing for you!

              Nope. DH didn't say anything.. ...
              If my MIL plans anything at all that includes us there will 2 main reasons.
              Showy to friends and relatives how 'close' she is with us/ photo session or she wants DH to foot the bill. :rant:

                My ILs would be hitting the 70+ soon (another 3 years). Hubby is the only son and ILs has two other married daughters. One SIL married a only child, the other SIL married the only son. Both SILs not staying with their ILs.


                We used to stay tge till my second child was 3plus. Had one major quarrel with MIL. The last draw was during my second child’s K2 graduation concert. Sth happened and I lost any bit of respect left for MIL.

                Now that both ILs are getting old, is it my duty to move the whole family back? Hubby has not mentioned anything. Dun know if he is waiting for me to suggest willingly or he really has not thought abt it.

                Moving back means many adjustments for all.
