        Does anyone receive any gift fr yr MIL?


        Yes, those things that she needs to throw away.. ..not joking de :stupid:

        Same situation. This is where made me very pissed off :mad:

        There was one unforgettable incident tat i will remember forever. This incident happened when i was juz dating my hb.

        My MIL passed me a scarf claimed tat she bought for me. Although the scarf didn't seems to be nice but aapreciate her thought. However I overheard my MIL n her daughter's conversation but in their direct which i can understand. Her daughter mentioned tat how can my MIL gave this scarf to me where somebody gave it to her as gift n it looked very ugly. My MIL yet replied tat she knew it but it's a waste to throw away. At tat moment, i was really very disappointed n feeling like kan-na-guni.

        This is not her first time of doing this.

          Another question : hv yr MIL helped u during yr confinement?


          My MIL didn’t help me during my confinement even we stayed quite near to each other. Luckily, I hired confinement auntie to help me during the first mth.

          My MIL helped me once for market-ing but complained tat why I ate so much fish n thread fin quite ex. But all these expenses were paid by my hb. However she bought 1 kg of thread fin for her daughter’s confinement. Very extreme, right?

          She came to visit me once n full of complaining abt the confinement auntie n me. This is also the reason of why I quite reluctantly to let hecoma me to my place during my maternity. Anyway she claimed tat she cannot handle baby who is 8 mth n below.

                MIL did try to help as DS is the first grandson. But I got my mom to be my confinement lady, so MIL just guest appearance. She did get me lotsa pork & chicken :faint: but endup pissed me off with her comments. Not a meat person, I dun consume a lot and she would claimed who & who ate 1 whole chicken in a day during confinement while I would take >3 days.
                And during DS's feeding time, MIL would hissed that I'm starving the grandson & tried to stop me from breastfeed claiming my milk lousy cos' I dun have enough nutrition :mad:
