In-law problems?

[cherrygal]

Vinegar, you are a good wife and mother lah... learn to do and care less. MIL became wary of offending me when I started to literally clam up and do less...


On the brighter side, at least your DH is just calling his mom and not talking to other women! :evil:

Get MIL to join some senior citizen activities to make new friends... think she's plain lonely.

Before we got married, he had a curfew of 11pm :faint:

Overheard his mother telling him and brother during their private conference that she is very old...visit her often.

learning..still learning...to do n care less.

MIL is a control freak.She wanna know everything.In the past,I used to get very agitated coz my DH shares every single things wf her mum.Whereas,he got angry when i share wf my gf,but not wf him.To be frank,i would rather he has close guy frds n talk to them,than wf his mum.Reason,his mum will \"boardcast\" what was told by my DH.MIL stays wf his SIL n brother.His SIL is well known for her channelnewsasia boardcasting talent.

Yes,it is true that i shld look at bright side.At least,he is talking to his mum not other woman.

My MIL also another channelnewsasia reporter,she likes to call n \"drill\" u until u cannot stand it but to tell her,despite u really don't feel like telling her(it is our personal lives anyway).I can't stand up my rights,coz if i do,DH will say she is also part of family so got the rights to know. :scratchhead:

i recall few yrs ago,she kept calling to ask for my kid school balloting result.She kept saying it doesn't matter which school to go..then why kept calling.Reason was her relatives n SIL wanna noe.

Later go n google how to deal with family \"paparazzi\" :?:

DH did suggested her to spend more time for herself,n for FIL. She got angry n asked DH if he wanna severe ties coz DH kept suggesting her to do other acitivities.MIL is those like to shop alone,do things alone…reason,she is loaded,scare ppl takes advantage on her.

She thinks she has the mandate to act as 老大...go fly kite.
Eldest SIL is the only person the old one is afraid of.

Imami:

When we were looking for our first home, we decided we would get a flat in hubby's neighbourhood (instead of mine, he lived in t payoh and I lived in the west). We got a flat a distance away (short walk 5min) but pil's unit can see our unit. During the first few years after I shifted in for good, within 5min the lights went up in my unit, hubby's phone will ring. It will be mil most of the time - asking want to go dinner outside, or \"I cook xxx, u want to come and eat?\" or we are watching movie aaa now, you want to come and join us?\" when I purposely left the toilet light on because I was all alone at home, sil would SMS and remind me that I had forgotten to off the light.


It was very irritating. It came a point when it strained our relationship because I would insist that hubby's folks were watching us. Haiz.....

I only have one son. I hope I don't become like that next time (but my hubby is not the only child la).....

That must have been so stressful!
