        [quote=\"janet_lee88\"]Fortunately your hubby is on your side and supports your decision.

        Can be quite a headache having to finish up homework and dinner at home b4 going over. Sorry for saying this, but it will be tougher as she goes up...more homework then.

        i am working my way to slowly wean her off from going IL place stay overnite. Hopefully will succeed by the time she reaches P2... wish me luck! šŸ™

        I think as far as possible you have to build up the bond with your kid....
        many of my friends whose parents only 'took them back' at P1 still have resentment till this day...[/quote]I couldn't agree more with this.
        My maternal grandparents looked after my brother when he was a bb till about 3 as my mum couldn't handle 2 kids then. Every weekend, my brother would come back and my father couldn't take the noise with 2 of us around. Even now, there isn't much bonding nor closeness with him. It's very sad.

          This is the best if both parties know how to handle their own parents. My DH didn't handle his mother well which lead to the current condition. šŸ˜ž

          Of course the sticky situations can be avoided if either side can handle their own parents. My hubby isn't able to handle his mother...bcos he doesn't see the 2 sides of her. So he will never understand when I tell him. I can tell my mum she is long-winded but he dare not tell his.

          My mil will just break down into tears if my DH is to raise his voice. My sil too just break into tears when talking to me....as if I bully her šŸ˜› After the incident, we never talk to each other.[/quote]I'm waiting to give that hubby's sister a piece of my mind for calling me names when I keep arms length from her all these years. Fortunately hubby knows about it but doesn't dare to tell her off. Same goes for his mother bcos there will be lots of 'water shed'. I always tell hubby that he is a 'softie', which is why his mother and sister always bullies him.

            in the 1st year of our marriage, MIL still buys underwear, handkerchieves and socks for DH. And she will call him in the morning to remind him to brush his teeth.

            OMG :rotflmao:

              Hi,


              Just want to share my bit abt my mil. My mil stays together with us. Whenever we have conflicts, she never fails to remind me that her son can change his wife but she will always be his ONE & ONLY MOTHER.
              :!: This is bad!!

                      So it seems they all have one trait in common - TEARS when things are not in their favor. If I'm not wrong, I did hear that comment ever mentioned to hubby b4. He has only one mother. :stupid:
