:!: can't believe your brother can take it!


for me, i tel dh even i dun want to stay with my mum, can't imagine my SIL has to put up with her... guess thats y she rather work fulltime.

I can't imagine how he copes with it too! A lot of time I feel very sorry for him, because he has to live in such an environment, r/p with SIL not good, not close to his kids, financially not well-off too.

Definitely. My mother does not like her. Can't say who's right or who's wrong since it's between the two of them. But my mother tends to nag my brother about SIL, and i think they quarrel because of that. It's also partly becos my bro doesnt know how to handle the situation between the two of them. Instead of pacifying them, he makes things worse.

Actually my brother left the house with my SIL many years back because of this. He said he couldn't continue to live and stay in such a 'quarrelsome and unhealthy' family environment. I was staying with them at that time because I was still a student then...

Nevertheless, I have to 'admire' your brother for his 'tolerance' level...

He’s quite "bo chup". i guess that’s an asset in such an environment.

Well the only part that does not tally is my brother is still living with my mother. But agree that it’s amazing our experiences are so similiar.

:lol: Yup, the part abt my bro not staying with my mum, that makes a great world of a difference

BTW, I'm the youngest and I have a bro and a sis who are both more than 5 years older than me. Don't tell me we have a similarity here huh ...

i always feel so inferior when people around me talk about their mothers, because it's obvious that the mother-daughter r/p is nothing like mine
