In-law problems?

[KSmom8]

My MIL called to inform me her SIL ( whom I never met ) already on way and coming to my place. Couldn’t say I was going out cos was pregnant and on bed rest.


Opened door to a stranger, showed her around, had to entertain her ALONE. I think she stayed for an hour, though it seemed like more. Never saw her again.

Very weird. And all so that MIL could show off MY place to her SIL.

not weird.Happened to me also.When i was on confinement,MIL's relatives came alone n i nvr met them too. Worst of all,they came one by one n at different timing.

why brought her frds to visit her at office??

My MIL once owned the hse keys...wah....no way we could rest. :yikes: She suka suka came,even wkend. :rant:

After we shifted to new pl, she didn't know how to come.our pl is quite remote,not so accessible by public transport.

She hinted she wanted to visit us,but we simply no time to entertain her.Coz i know once we started the visitation wf her,it'll be never ending story.

Mil brought her friends to see dil's office :faint:


My SIL was shocked...office leh...not shopping centre. Her colleague told her mil arrived. OMG.
Can you imagine if she was given house keys? No peace at all.

No way am I going to give her house key...our home is private paradise...shake legs or lying on bed to surf Net...I will not have her intruding into my ME time.

Thank goodness MIL has never asked for our house keys.


My mum has a set of my house keys and I have a set of hers. It's for emergency purposes. However, we still call beforehand to check before visiting, and we do not let ourselves in, regardless of whether the owner is at home. I think it's basic courtesy.

I remembered this …


During the tea ceremony, my MIL gave me a gold chain and put it around my neck. Felt it was strange then, cos I was already wearing a necklace ( that was more impressive ) and it clashed with her necklace. Removed it when I was at my parent’s.

Many years later, when my Aunt was preparing for my cousin’s wedding, my Aunt mentioned that she was angry when she saw what my MIL did. Said the act of putting a chain around my neck was very traditional and aim was to control and make me obey her.

It gave me insight into my MIL’s mentality. I laughed it off and told my Aunt that it does not work, my MIL cannot control me and neither do I obey her.
