      my mil is the scary type. when my #1 was a baby, she was the one to go to her when she cries (i got no chance)


      she wants to take care of my kids all the time. she wants to pick them from sch bus, or walk them to sch, bath them, hold their hands , when my girl prefers me, she will blackface.

      when my kids around she wont go out at all. she thnks the kids are her primary responsibility. if i need to go out wf my kids alone i must lie that i m gg out wif friends or my mum or else she will tag along. n of cos she will blackface me when i m back after the outing. so i always tried to secretly return to my rm. cos really dunno want see her face.

      she doesnt know what is gv me 空间. personal space.
      when she cook fish, she gives all the fish to my #1

      sigh those were the days…

        Quintessential Mum:
        janet_lee88:

        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.

        So true, She has this uncanny ability to cry/tear on demand! Amazing! Recently, her power has been curbed coz we can't stand her anymore. Only my DH still accommodates her! :x

        Yes, only my dear hubby can tolerate bcos he has not seen her 'ability' to tear/cry on demand. I cannot stand her nonsense and the speed at which her horns appear and disappear when it is between she and me in the kitchen and when hubby walks in :x :x

        Like what Buds mentioned, no need to praise my kids lah...after all, so fake. What I simply detest the most is she thinks she knows EVERYTHING and expect everyone to listen to her endless 'know-alls'.

          My son is going to P5 next year and daughter will be in P1. I’ll be busier then…couldn’t be bothered with their crazy and idiotic antics.


          Just a few days ago, hubby’s SIL called hubby to scold him indirectly :x damn shit. Crazy woman called my hubby on his mobile phone, then scolded her hubby loudly, saying that my hubby didn’t attend their wedding 2 years ago…and as such didn’t give her face :x What the bloody fu!@.
          Can you believe how damn free and a bloody troublemaker she is ??? My hubby was in Vietnam on a working trip on their wedding day and cannot get out of it. I am also sore because that day is my son’s birthday too…but work is important. Besides, the wedding was 2 years ago…omg to think she is still finding fault now. Told my hubby if she had been a mother now, she would not be so damn free.

            Not a good idea to make your blood boil over such people.
            They sure are very free huh? :roll: Dun understand why
            they cannot find better things to do. :siao:

            How did your hubby take it?

            Aniwaes, it's best you do not show any response to it and
            risk stooping to her petty level. You're better than that! :hugs:

            Mebbe can go out and have ice-cream with the kiddies and chill out.
            Try to get it out of your head and most important don't keep that to heart.
            She seems to just wanna start something pointless in my opinion. To heck
            with that. 😉

              I asked hubby if he reminded his brother that he was in Vietnam during that period...he said he did. Asked him could it be because his sister-in-law is too free since they are childless. He told me, 'maybe'. Then added, 'If she is the troublemaker sort of person, even with 2 or 3 kids tugging at her skirt, she will still find chance to create trouble'.

                hi janet_lee88,


                ur story just reminded me: a few years back, my mil ever told me (many years after i already married) that her own mil, that is my hubby’s grandmother was unhappy that my mum didnt follow certain step of the customary wedding procedure. i was like 'huh, tel me for what? not my fault and somemore so many donkey years still remember.? is she hinting anything??"

                pissed me off. trying to say my family is rude is it.

                  Just wondering why these people are so bloody free (sorry but very pissed)...in your case, so many donkey years already...for that crazy woman ie hubby's SIL, said she very busy with work, then after office hours, shouldn't she be resting instead of digging out such things ? Alamak, does she understand the meaning of W-O-R-K ?

                      We are women too.... 😉 but honestly, I am not so free to dig up issues like this. There are more important things in life worthy of my time & attention. For goodness sake, if she is fortunate enough, she would have kid(s) by now...busy with education and well-being instead of scolding relatives for not attending her wedding and giving her face. She is supposed to be holding a IMPORTANT position in the company, earning more than her hubby. Really eat-too-free-nothing-to-do. :x Idiotic.

                      If it's just hubby & I, then we will be holding hands in the park, watching movies or else doing housework...not so free to call BIL to scold him. She really is one damn f!@# rude.
