        the most i dread is when the soup is not finished in a bowl, she will pour it back to the pot again. when i saw that, I told my hubby straight and no way, I allow my kids to drink that. It’s so unhygienic. Lucky, my hubby will shoot her so not so bad.

          I think it's all right if there is a serving spoon and it is hygienic. If everybody dips their chopsticks in and then suck their chopstick or lick their spoons and then take the food again, it is so gross and disgusting. :yikes:
          I eat overnight food too. Normally, if there's any leftover noodle or fried rice, I'll eat them for breakfast the next day.

            How abt mil who practise favoritism? Unfortunately, you’re married to a less favored son of hers…so you’re the "less privileged dil" eg when CNY, mil will specially reserve good food for the "favorite" son’s potential girl friend (now dil), etc… This dil enjoy all the "first-class treatment…think if she gets pregnant, she’ll be served like Queen by mil…actually I’m not so much of jealous, just feel unjust and besides, this dil is not appreciative of mil effort at all (although appear to be sweet and thankful in front of her…how fake)!

              Actually I would be very happy if she practises favouritism...this way, she doesn't come near to me...then hubby won't be at her beck and call to do this and that. If she has a favourite DIL, lagi better...go and bug her instead.

              As for leftover food, it's ok if it's just from previous night and not heated up over and over again. That is definitely NO NO.

                Left over food if left over for more than a day is unhygenic. I also cannot imagine

                how the spoons that has gone into the food. They do not use a common spoon
                but everyone who wants to eat will dip their spoons into the food. It makes me
                shudder, I admit I am a bit of a clean freak but still I do not like my MIL shoving
                her left over food to me on weekends.

                  Haha yes! I wish she will bug my SILs but she keeps coming to me to bug.
                  Don't know why, maybe I have a more 'can tahan' face? 🤷
                  I wish that I can be bolder and just :siam: when she comes to me
                  with her complaining look.

                    Most mil who favour one son will reserve all the good food for him, maybe the bank account is also in his name. But when it comes to running errants, they’ll get other children to do it, cos they don’t want to trouble the favourite one. Have heard of many such cases.

                      So the favourite son gets to enjoy good food and maybe the bank account as well...but not-favourite son gets to do the sh!@ work. Oh yes, of course I heard before. I'm not rich but I don't hanker for her bank account. Just don't bug me...go bug your favourite son and make sure he does everything (enjoy good food as well as running errands).

                        Good thing for me is my MIL is not rich so she cannot hold whatever money she has in

                        her bank account over our heads!
