my 2 cents worth ...
ImMeeMee, thank you for your sharing.
It is always a qn of \"what if\" like what hercules has mentioned. I dun want hubby to hv any regrets. At least I bring their son and grandsons back to their sides in their old age. I need only to work on how myself to meet MIL as seldom as possible while under one roof. -

Wow, your DH is really sincere & filial. If I did that, my mum will think that either I'm dying of cancer or more likely trying to borrow money from her
.
Your kids would have taken a leaf from this, and next time they will also cook for you guys. Isn't this wonderful.
Hi Markfch!
My hubby shops for all the groceries as well. He is quite a house-husband. In the past I had some problems with my MIL but this recent Mother's Day, I hugged and thanked her for bringing up my hubby so well! She told me I am lucky to have a hubby who can cook! My FIL is also the one who buys all the groceries hence this practice sort of got \"passed down\" to by hubby I guess?
But I feel really pressurized by all the sumptuous cooking! It is like my hubby telling me \"If I can do it, YOU can too! \". Oh no....what am I going to cook for Father's Day? Aiyah just go out to some restaurant and eat lah!!!
:celebrate: -

What did my MIL says? Needless to say she was very touched but I expected it and she said to me \" You should have done this ma...!\".
haha, my MIL wud have said the same thing. don't know why all DILs are expected to be good cooks
. If I do cook on mother's day, sorry I'm cooking for my own mom not you lah 
Hello Minnie2004!
In fact for my own mother we did not even celebrate. My mother said everyday is a mother's day if the children are filial, no need to specifically do anything! She told me to just concentrate on my hubby's family there is more important. True, for my MIL, although she said \"never mind don't bother yourself cooking or do anything\" but if we really miss it, volcanoes will erupt !
So no matter what, MIL is MIL and own mother is own mother!
:love:
:celebrate: -
DesertWind,
My mum said the same thing too…she said if kids are filial, no need to have Mothers’ Day to show it. It’s a daily thing, not annual event to be filial. -

DesertWind, janet_lee88, our mothers seem to be cut from the same cloth leh! My mum said the same... :celebrate: but we celebrated with grill/steamboat at my place nonetheless! Simple but fun!

Mums r WOMEN and most women ‘say one thing and mean the other’.

With our own mothers, we can say ANYTHING…well, maybe sometimes they do get mad but will tell me lah. But with MIL, there is no way, I can have a heart-to-heart chat with her. Say anything wrong or even if not referring to her, sure DIE.

You can have a heart-to-heart talk with mum anytime, but NOT with MIL. They are not the ones who can 讲心 with you...deep down they will laugh. Not only that, they will spread your misfortune with the rest of her relatives. -
