In-law problems?

She doesn't have a nickname...what I mean is mil is definitely no hello kitty.

I have enough stress with kids and hubby is also having work pressure. No point adding fire. He can visit them...I am perfectly ok.

My apologies for being rude to you earlier.

Yes... I agree with you most of the older generation folks can be hard to please, since you have your cozy home and not having much interaction with her, maybe emotionally it's time for a break, you deserved to be happy, dwell less and stress less...
Hatred begets hatred.

I read in other thread that your son did well in his exam, scored many As for CA, that's truly worth celebrating; my heartiest congratulation, you have done yourself proud.
Every dotting mother wishes to see their children safe, happy and prosper, it's a small wish that us mother carry with us for as long as we live.... me, you and our MILs...

If we can, let's make it easy for them to love...

Cheers! God bless.

It’s not easy to live or communicate with another person…especially if she is not from same generation. Hub has been working late everyday, so moods and voice tend to flare with 2 fellas breathing down my neck.

I can totally relate... my 2 pumpkins like to argue to no end, gives me headache.... fortunately I am a working mum, get my breather away in office.
Sometimes I wished I could wear earplugs

Hubby has conference call in one room...so I put 2 fellas in the other room to get their work done while I hang up wet laundry...they quarrel over most trivial stuff. If paternal grandmother stays under same roof, I would have no place in my own house...you know the rest.

But the initial part are difficult, after they realized DILs are not here to snatch away their beloved sons, they probably would ease a bit...

I am quite fortunate as my MIL is highly educated, she is polite, respects others privacy, always text or call before she comes over, always exchange gifts with me during Christmas, buy present for my birthday etc, but she has an air of some sort of \"blueblood\" which build a thin ice wall between us.... but I am ok, easy going lah, just give her plenty of smiles lor, always listen to her, always call her mummy... let her pick her seat when we dine out every week, let her pick her favourite restaurants, twice yearly family holiday let her choose where she wants to go... give and take... already count myself lucky, all my friends have problem with MILs...

Mine here called the shots all these years...FIL is extremely hen pecked.
Sons had to obey but she can't get daughter to do so. Daughter inherited her mother's love to issue commands.

100% agree.

Whenever my MIL complained abt her elder DIL, i always told her to sort out the things btw themselves,mean don't involve her son,if not,make the things complicated n put the poor man in difficult position.

I thought she'll get my hints...by saying so,i also hinted her not to put my ds in difficult position,anything she dislikes abt me,shld tell me directly.

So i've no choice but to :siam: her
