In-law problems?

[janet88]

As long as I do not have to stay with in-laws, discipline is never an issue of them siding the kids. That’s the one good and BEST thing.


Autumnbronze, it’s not easy to be the bad guy when you have in-laws with you. The important thing is to discuss and come to an agreement with hubby that someone has to be the BAD guy or the child will be spoilt rotten. That phrase ‘he’s still young’ doesn’t make any sense because kids will always be young in front of grandparents.

When my DD was 2 months old and still in good terms with my PIL. FIL told me that DD must at least have a degree. I don't want to force my DD if she really belongs to those cannot study type so I told my FIL nicely. FIL insisted that no...no....his cousin's son also cannot study so he took one subject a year in Australia univ and is now a graduate. I was :!: . I told DH about it and he too is :!: . I believe that a person character is more impt than his qualification. Lucky DH agree with me. My PIL belongs to those kind that only know how to talk big big!

Mrs Ang,

I know what you mean leh. A person’s character overrides his/her qualifications. MIL looks down on her own sister’s children because they are not educated. But at least her sister can stay under one roof with her sons and daughters-in-law unlike her. Can even play mahjong together.
Her sister has a nicer character.

Thanks janet_lee88,

DH and I pretty much do see eye to eye on most things. He actually takes the time to listen to my grouses and tries to rationalizes his parents' behaviour too. Maybe because of his profession, he has the ability to treat me like one of his 'clients' and listen me out

He has happily relegated the role of the bad guy to me

Hi autumnbronze,

Glad to hear that. It’s not easy being a bad guy but it’s a luxury to be able to be one. HaHaHa.
