hi,

stresses....from dealing with kiddo's SA n MIL woes...

whenever my dh takes leave to attend some personal matter,such as health chkup..etc...rather than we busy trying to finish all the errands b4 picking up the kiddo,dh spends times to entertain my MIL's calls.....

MIL calls my dh frequently.sometx,we really busy esp.we only hv half a day in the morning to run errands.There were many times dh had to entertain her calls than doing serious stuff....quarreled over these matters many times..don't know how to resolve.DH oredi told her not to call so frequent...understand he is sandwich in btw...any suggestion?

now dh took 2days to help kiddo to revise for SA n running some errands.I am sure his leaves will be wasted on entertaining her calls.She creates troubles everytime she knows my dh takes leaves for him or us,but not them

Can your DH just say he is in the office?

If we've something to do,I told my dh to tell her that u r in meeting,can't talk for long.But she is super nagging.Will still talking or keep calling later.

Whatever does she have to talk about with him ever so often? :roll:

If like my MIL last time, call to ask if he remembered brushed his teeth, whether he has eaten. Or to complain about FIL, to whine to DH about not having enough money, to remind him to drink more water, etc, etc, etc.

These days MIL is much better. But she still sends mushy smses to DH. The kind that can be mistaken as those a 3rd party might send . Eg, \"Hi Darling/Dear, have not heard from you the last few days. You must be very busy. Remember to take care of your health. I miss you. God bless. Love U.\"

Aiyoh. :frustrated: Same pattern with mine oso..... the darling and the dear and the miss you-s and the love-you-s and the take care and the ...... and the ...... but the have you eaten and brushed teeth a bit much leh. He's not only child issit Funz, but still a baobei must be.

Not only child but the only son.

Umm.. I did share before that when we were first married, she bought underwear and handkerchief for DH. Much to DH's embarrassment but to my delight. Cos after I got over the shock, it was one huge opportunity for me to tease DH to no end. How can anyone pass up a chance like that. :rotflmao:

[buds]

Same! :hi5:


I didn't pass up on the opportunities either.

We're talking loads here. :rubhands: Good thing is these teasings are so evergreen, one doesn't get tired of it. It's still shiok every time it comes up and still hails roars of laughter. :rotflmao:

Yup, there is no end to that! :rotflmao:

Mine; first-born son.

my mother had never called me or talked to me much, so i’m actually really surprised to hear such things… But i guess the bond must be quite good to warrant such contacts, and sadly i’m maybe not so close to my mother…


if the mother has more things to do, maybe she will not have so much time to make such calls.

and if there are other siblings, can maybe ask them to help to tell the mother to cut down on such calls, and the duration of each call - if it is not so easy to tell her directly.

if happened to me, i’ll tell her straight too busy to talk…

yes,she calls everyday. This morning,we finally found some time to spend time as couples.We were at Popular bookshop,i wanted to show him the Young Scientist books but his mum called again.

I've to deal with this kinda prob.It is extremely rare to hv couple times.I think my dh doesn't understand my needs & he forever will not understand.

So he was out to chat with her,while i was left alone.We only hv that one hour of couple time but 50% went to his mum.We hv to rush back by noon coz i nid to prepare lunch b4 kiddo come bk.

can u feel how i feel?
