      Mine here can get Golden Horse and Oscar awards for her ability to wail, cry like turning on a tap…always thinking she knows everything and wanting everyone to listen to her. Never do her part as a grandmother and yet expect grandchildren to know and remember who she is to them.

      My son hates it…I don’t encourage it but I teach him how to reply her w/out being rude.

          This double standard is typical...she puts on such a good show that her son will not believe if you tell him otherwise. I experience that shit from her all the time.

            I think your mil has forgotten something....YOU ARE THE MOTHER OF HER GRANDCHILD!!!!! :x What a dbl standard she is practising man!! If there is a best actress award for mils....all our mils would qualifiy 😞 Luckily, this month I am having a break of having her around the house. I told her to go and bother her daughter. When she is here she would always compare abt my ds & her dd's ds. Then she would go on rattling about how good her other grandson is blah...blah....blah....Worse still she would say how good her son-in-law is blah....blah....blah. :x :x

              I think you need to know that some MILs think their sons can 'reproduce' by themselves...they conveniently forget that their grandchildren are given birth by women. :?:

                its very true that they thot the house is theirs, the kitchen is theirs, the tv is theirs, and even their grandchildren are theirs! i always feel she treats mykids like her pets and last time she even wants to decide which primary school my girl goes to in p1! she wanted to stay in the same vicinity and sugg my girl goes to a neighbrhd sch when my gal qualifies for a sap sch cos i was old girl. crazy!


                #1 (girl) was cared by her from birth cos i was wkg. #2 (boy) i take care of myslf cos i quit my job, tho she was still stayg wf me. #3 (girl) was mainly cared by my maid. she shows favoritism most to #1.

                  Must have been tough on you. So is your daughter registered in your former school now ? These old ones rather jelak...want to control everything.
                  Today's ST mentioned that boys are still preferred in Asian countries...to the point that gender is terribly unbalanced in countries like India, China and Taiwan.

                      yup...where children are concerned, the mothers have the right to decide for issues like names and schools.

                        i feel that sometimes grandmothers are using grandchildren to re-live their motherhood…and deprive the real mothers of a chance to be mothers.
