In-law problems?

LKVM:
Can you believe she was sitting like some dowager in my hospital room ? Why would I give her anymore chances to behave like a dowager in my house ?
hahahahaa but I can totally relate to you oredijanet_lee88:
So TRUE man.
His mother wants to be dowager, but don't forget my name is in the house as OWNER too. That's the reason why I don't want to hold any birthday parties/occasions in my house, bcos she behaves like dowager. :x
Can you believe when my son was just born in the hospital, she behaved as though the hospital room belonged to her, sitting there like some dowager :x until my friend who visited me scrambled to leave ? My friend sms-ed me after that...told her I understood.

Diff in the hospital is she only show up at ICU for photoshoot.. then MIA liao..
Enough damage done with her 'comments' :x -
She showed up in the hospital as my son is first grandson born…subsequently for my 2nd one who is a girl, she was looking for company to go to the hospital. There were so MANY calls to hubby’s hp… :x told hubby to tell her NO need to visit.
She came into the room with hands behind her back, peeped at my gal, then left the room and chat outside with her sons like some conference.
Oh yes, brought some 凉茶 because she thinks her son has no chance to sleep at night. BTW, her son goes home every night bcos mine was a 2-bedder and he can’t stay. -
She has a habit of doing all these kind of things, as if her son not nourished enough. Hubby now eating home-cooked meals all the time as compared to before getting married. Drama queen :x as is she is so caring.

When my hubby had eye operation earlier this year, she didn't bother to visit him this time, expecting me to stay overnight to look after him. What kind of a mother is she ? Either she is a drama queen or else bochap.janet_lee88:

Why all MIL like that?
Janet, won’t your hubby say anything about your pouring of "dirty linen" here?
Mooncake festival coming. Don’t forumers here rush to buy mooncakes for parents, parents in law? With this kind of treatment still buy mooncakes for them? -

Caroline3sg, I still buy mooncake for IL's. In fact, we are collecting special flavoured mooncake from HK from a friend today. We do this out of love, even if they don't treat us well.Why all MIL like that?

My MIL ever gave the mooncakes we gave her to SIL's (then BIL <DH's brother> and SIL not married) mother. Only thing was it was the flaky pastry kind and we told her to put in refrigerator. She didn't and (as usual) then claim we didn't tell her (I assure you she is more bi-lingual than I am and the box also carries the same warning).
SIL's mum returned them and said that it was \"not fresh\", she (MIL) then asked me if I wanted it back and purposely brought it to my place with the half eaten portion :stupid: - to which I calmly said :\" but mama, what would I do with it? We've given them to you, you see what you want to do with them YOURSELF.\" :roll:
Now, we buy what FIL wants to eat (and she vetoes) and its mixed flavours coz he likes the nuts and the yolks. She gives away again? We give it to him AND her together!
Ohhh, won't I be able to tell you more of such faux paux! THink we KSP forummers can go write a manual!
:celebrate: hang in there sisters! -
LKVM:
Yes I agree can surely write manual or guess its written with almost 200 pages :roll:
Wow. 200 pages of ranting/grousing.
We should put that in a manual, for brides-to-be to understudy.
Else next time KSP gets interviewed, the media realises that the most popular pages are the \"In-Law Problems\" and \"Playground - Games\" :oops: -
cherrygal:
LOL! I like this! You go, gal! :celebrate:
......I will not be relegated to a palace maid in my own home that I used my money and CPF to buy. Speak to me again if he can afford the property by himself, without any help from me. -
RE: Mooncakes and MIL
ah...my MIL is pretty nice to me (she gave me her collection of cutlery and dining ware for my new house :D), i had never bought mooncakes for her before; i had never bought anything for her before nor cook for her before. it is because i know she has 'higher/more exquisite tastes' and she may feel awkward receiving my gifts. so my way of showing concern is to make sure that my son call her every night and her son call her at least once a week.
and i don't buy mooncakes for my own mum too; cos she tends to give things away (ie when my sis bought mooncakes for her, my mum actually gave me some
).
