      I told my boys that I would not live with them after they marry. So they better save enough n buy a place of their own. Looking after these two monkeys is enough. I don't wish to look after their wives too :lol:

      Hi Jennifer,
      I think you have hit the nail on the head! That is probably exactly my MIL's attitude too! HA...HA...HA....!!!! :rotflmao:

          We went looking at some new development recently. Really terrible- so small yet so expensive. Hubby said maybe the next generation hv to go live in M'sia.

            Jennifer,

            I told my son the same thing too…don’t expect me to look after, wash up, cook for you AND your wife. Study very hard now, or else you won’t be able to afford a HDB flat…don’t even talk about condo.

                auntieM,
                I dare not think of the cohabit issue...as parents, we have to teach them correct values from young, and reinforce as they grow. Have self respect for themselves as well as gf/bf. I will tell my son, 'Boy, pls work very hard to buy own flat. I don't want to wash up after you and your wife.'

                  guess that’s what some mils are doing now. they prefer to live on their own and not look after the grandchildren all the time. i can understiand because they have done their fair share of looking after chidren and it is time for them to enjoy life even if they are not doing anything.

                      Had some unhappiness with MIL becos of a lie that SIL told. Very upset with SIL and MIL :pokeeye: :x


                      Don't want to go into details here in case SIL or someone who knows her read about this. But really can't understand why some people are so immature. Can't talk to DH direct, must go and complain to MIL, make her angry with us, and make everyone upset, and over something UNTRUE.

                        hmmm, my favourite subject.

                        truth will be out. don't get too upset about it. even if she had told the truth, she is still your MIL own flesh and blood. so, cool it and don't worry about it ok?
