In-law problems?

loner:
So much that we complain abt MIL. Have u gals ever thought what kind of MIL u will be???
On one hand, I tell myself I will never ever treat my DIL the way MIL treated me but very scared one day ended up \"like\" her leh..... 
No way will I let myself behaves as such. I always believe in this philosophy \"If you do not want others to treat you like that, then you don't do the same to others\".
I rather earn a daughter than to loose my son totally. -

it is very common for old folks to fall asleep whenever they are sitting down be it readinf a book, watching tv shows etc.Ask her to help us watch over while we run some errands in the evening, I'll typically return to find her sleeping in front of the tv (guess if the kids didn't kill each other, it's fine).
it's not their fault, it is just the work of the body.
off topic, haha, i remember my nephew who was always asked to face the wall when he was younger. he developed this technique of falling asleep within seconds and it was so funny watvhing him standing and nodding off and of course we didnt tell his dad till much later. :lol: -
I always believe that if one wants respect, that person earns it. I would definitely treat any girlfriend my son brings home in a friendly manner (the first time I see her) regardless of whether they get married or not. First impression counts.
For a MIL who has 2 sons, wouldn’t it be nice if she treats her daughter-in-law as a daughter and earn 1 daughter on top of having 2 sons ? -
LOLMum:
Understand. But she was supposed to be the only adult in the house watching over my kids. And that time, DS2 was much younger. Anyway, I AM grateful that she's even willing to help out on those occasions - just that I try to limit my requests.

My sister-in-law also made the comment that only those the old one gave birth to are her children. The rest are married to her sons. Personally, I agree, bcos if don’t agree, then can change spouses…which was what happened to one brother-in-law as well as hubby’s sister. The upbringing really sucks.

If only every MIL treats her DIL like her own daughter, then all MIL-DIL relationships would be a bliss. Have they ever thought - their DIL is also somebody’s precious daughter. They wouldn’t want their own daughters to be ‘ill-treated’ by their MILs, then why can’t they treat their DIL like their own?! So sad.

Angelight,
it is a bit too much to ask every MIL to treat her DIL like her own daughter. all we need to ask for is for every MIL to treat her DIL as her son's precious wife.
