      [quote=\"tutormum\"]TOTALLY AGREE!!! Not only lock your main gate and door, next time lock your bedrooms also before you go away. If MIL asks, just tell her that it's for security reasons cos you are afraid there is a break-in and you have lots of valuables in the house. :lol: 😉


      Yes... and don't forgot to leave some water and biscuits for your MIL in case she grows hungry :evil:

      :rotflmao: :rotflmao:
      ..better not be my MIL.. or she will have to eat those expired and crushed bicuits she bought for my DS... :P[/quote]It is my MIL that they are all talking about. 😞

              Wow :shock: your MIL so sticky. She scared of the dark or what, must follow you wherever you go ??? Mine also Taoist...so don't want to have head-on with her...best thing is to leave her alone.

                  If she appreciates all your effort, then it's worth it...some do not appreciate and take it for granted. Worse still when they talk behind your back :x in front of the other DILs.

                    Even if these old ones go to old folks home, they will never appreciate and know how fortunate they are.

                      it was the emotional bondage i couldnt take it.

                      she fought with me over the kitchen, the household, the kids especially (how to discipline or handle them). and when my maid came she fought with maid, load me wif lots of unfounded accusations against my maid etc

                      she pampers my kids esp #1 who was cared by her from birth - buy clothes, water bottles , toys EVERY WEEK. and dont allow me to scold or cane them.

                      she only care whther they ate meat but nvr bother whr they ate veg or fruits。 #1 was constipated at 2.5yrs n its a nightmare to overcome that

                        Sorry to say this, but that's tough to handle indeed.
                        I thought she was just 怕黑 and demanding your attention.
                        This kind of spoiling/pampering makes it difficult for you to discipline...sure to clash if need to. I really have to salute you for the courage to stay with her.
