      hi, ya we did...but not working lor...sian...duno wat to do...

      cos in the end when the kids fall sick, we are the ones suffering and taking care of them not them. 😢

      so seeking advice from here....it's just the grandparents....could it be their mindset is not my DS/DH so not my pasar?

      talk to them then.... they actually know but cant help spoiling..
      must show them some true fire one day to make them understand u r not just nagging but really mean it...

      once i threw away a big bag of candies n choc in front of them! i think about 2-3kg... they got from some neighbours leftover from cny!! i was so mad and they dare not talk to me for a week..

      wah...i maybe can do that to my parents but i doubt my wife can.[/quote]ur wife will just have to learn... :evil: :evil:

      but of cos, dun abuse this method!! it is only effective if u r sooo sooo ta bo leh tahan then can use... if anyhow use, of cos it reflects badly on ur wife...

      i use it wisely... šŸ˜‚ šŸ˜‚

        Once I was at someone's wedding. I almost cried when the pastor said something like this \"In a few moments, you will be husband and wife. This is very significant because it means the two of you will be leaving your existing circles, to form a new inner circle. In time, your children will join you in this inner circle. Everything that you do, you must first think about this inner circle. You must always protect and love this inner circle first - then, you will have the ability to reach to outer circles together. Your spouse must always come first. Not your mother, your father, or your siblings, or your friends..... This is what your parents have raised you for as well. So parents should respect this new life that your child has chosen....\"


        I was like, \"how come nobody told my hubby and my MIL that? Can you please talk to them\".... 🤷

              🤷 I was the photographer, mah... at that point I was probably listening too intently or cried, or had a bucketful of tears in my eyes... after the wedding my friend asked me, ey... how come got one gap no photos? :yikes: Luckily, I was only one of the three appointed photographers.


              Hmm... probably will never get hubs into a church ... and if he does goto one, he will purposely switch off or try to retaliate every single word that pastor said, because he is not open minded about religions. :siao:

                  My pil are very messy 🤷


                  How how? I try numerous time to pack the living room, kitchen, but after 2 weeks, become messy again.

                  I cannot tolerate any messy areas. I will become very frustrated. Now, i just close both eyes, but cannot solve the problems. :roll:

                    Not only messy....


                    When my kids are small, they get sick easily as they disliked to drink water. I told PIL to stop giving them sweets n chocolates as they always eat a lot. Then, my PIL gave them secretly n tell them not to tell mummy. When i found out, my kids told me that ah gong n ah ma say cannot tell mummy. :siam: Now, they are bigger, my mil will give them other food. But the problem is..... My mil do not like to keep cook food in fridge, either is her fridge is fully packed or she think otherwise. She like to buy cooked food at 12pm n give it to my kids at 6pm...... Imagine the amt of bacteria..... 🤷 i told her so many time that cooked food are not to be consumed after 4 hrs at room temperature... She never listen n continue to offer to my kids.... N sometimes, she left the ba chang, cream puff or other cooked food overnight on dining table n offer to my kids in the morning. Of cos, i freak out. In the end, i resorted telling my kids not to accept cooked food, cos i do not know how my mil handle them. Now, she gave it to them when i am not around. :mad:

                      food kept at room temperature breeds bacteria...that's how food contamination comes about...hubby buys breakfast for his parents every sun, left overs are left on the table until lunch or dinner :faint:

                      fridge is empty, don't even have egg inside. reason for leaving on the table - lazy to heat up.

                      sil went up one sunday...left to buy something for them...when she u-turned to pass to them, they were shocked bcos she was puffing away like chimney and the other one was drinking. 2 of them stinge on food - $3 for economy rice, shared by both...not bcos no money, but to spend the money on cigarettes and stout. hubby, the favourite son, told his mother to cut down on smoking, she retorted, 'might as well i jump down'.

                        Janet, i can never get the pt across to my mil that food need to be kept in fridge if it is not consumed immediately. I am fine if she is eating it as she has been doing it all her life. But dont feed that to my kids. I will be the one suffering with my kids if they are sick..... Not her....
