      I guess depends on circumstances..if small matters to hubby, he will ask me not to dwell about it and \"give way\" since mil already old and to appreciate her help with kids and household stuff....then no choice lor...however, small matters wil accumulate to \"big matter\", then hubby will come in \"automatic\" to \"tell his mother off\" before issues turn sour. :lol:

            You lucky guy. My hubby's sister has no qualms opening my drawers, fridge and cupboards to examine contents. She is NOT welcomed in my house.

                Wah, opening people’s drawers, fridge etc…really no manners leh. Irritating.


                Actually, before my MIL shift in she did that too. She would complain to my DH "Your wife very lazy and untidy. Her things not properly kept and clothes untidy" :!: Now that she’s with us, initially I found her in my room opening my cupboard still…seems lesser now. But just not too long ago, my hubby was teasing me about not enough working clothes, immediately she was in my room opening my wardrobe and telling DH there’s a lot of unironed clothes hanging over at the other room. :x ACE

                  Hi girls,

                  Saw your posting, so sad why we are facing this type of problems!!!
                  Why marriage is not between 2 people?
                  Why others want to interfere?

                    Heheh.. on the contrary, cwc.. my own mumsie does the rummaging

                    of the fridge in our house and complain to the children how lazy i am.
                    Gosh. Puhleez.. i have many other things to do other than just
                    beautifying and organizing my fridge in alphabetical order
                    like hers. :politebleah:

                    Mothers in old days most times quite bo-chap about homework
                    assistance and what-nots.. that said tho i do have to credit my
                    mumsie for her hand in some of my project work but still... i
                    do believe i am busier with the kind of generation our children
                    are in as compared to the auto-run children we were back then
                    during their time mothering us... that goes for SAHMs, PTWM &
                    FTWMs as a whole. 😉

                      Oh? But it can be a marriage between 2 people and without
                      any interference... that is if... :idea: ... all elders are dead
                      and spouse is the only child. :lol:

                        My mil probably regrets selling off her own flat 2 yrs ago cos she always threaten to drop off all her \"current duty\" when my kids get to her nerves or hubby and me didnot meet her housechores expectations......anyway, talk so much oso no use..she stuck in my place since she already crashed with her other son's wife and I stuck with her staying forever in my place. the only way is to mininise and prevent unnecessary conflicts and if it does, SOS hubby for to intervene :lol:


                        But sometimes.. hubbies also dont wanna intervene then how 😛

                        Ummm... make that NEVER want to intervene. 😐
