Hello friends, mine not just CNY gathering, but still have to see her \"f\" face during Christmas, FIL/MIL/SON/grandson- BirthdayS, Father's/Mother's day etc Esp. Mother's day, still hv to \"pretend\" bo dai ji in front of her and greet her Happy Mxxxxx day! She will make her sons buy her presents but told his son not to \"waste\" money on me cos' he is the sole breadwinner! (Excuse me, as if I not Mother lah!)

your MIL is worst than my somehow i also find them good at acting really hypocrite man.... very fedup seeing their whole family members especially new year time will come my house and talk about gambling....

Don't remind me about CNY. Just thinking about having to put up with the drama during reunion makes me sick. SIAN.

She is very good at playing \"mind\" game ie. she knews kids will not resist \"toys\" and she will \"shower\" them with all kinds of toys (most of it them are not \"educational and some r even \"violent\" ones) When I protest she will make me look like the \"evil\" one who stop kids from having \"fun\". When DS1 was having a bad phlegm cough she will allow him to eat oranges and when I stop her, she will answer \"Oranges got vitamin C, so good for kids right. My poor grandson, not that grandma don't give u ha but yr mummy say cannot leh!\" .....x#y%z# :x

Loner darling,
Mine here doesn't even bother to know what my son (her grandson) likes to eat...now want to see grandkids more often. What a joke. My parents put in so much effort during their earlier years, now she wants to enjoy the fruit. She better go and fly kite.
You must be kidding to expect moral support from her.

My MIL sure to win GRAMMY'S award if she was being voted! She is not just good at \"pretending\" all these yrs in front of her husband and sons. She also \"acts\" well in front of all the relatives round the world! She tries \"very hard\" to b a nice grandma but I always sub consciously \"warn\" my kids that she is \"not that nice\" as u thought... An Eye for an eye. Since she can \"educate\" her children and relatives not to b \"nice\" to me, I also teach my children not to b \"too\" nice to her! Afterall she has never lay her hands in helping me to look after the kids AT ALL! Besides I will forever remember what she told my husband when I'm in the hospital giving birth to my DS1 or should I say her \"1st grandson\"**\"Don't call me after midnite cos' I don't want my sleep to b interrupted.\"** HELLO! :x ( Is very hurting when she knew my mum passed away yrs back and I really need her moral support at that point of time)

She always reminds me of the wolf in the little red riding Hood story...

Hi Angela/Jedamum,
Looks like MILs can also qualify as actresses in the senior citizen category...they just love to put on a sob sob look even though they have not been nice to begin with.

Don't expect MILs to treat DIL as daughters. To them, only their own daughters are human being...if they have been ill-treated by their MILs, then these mothers will fight it out with their 亲家. There is ALWAYS double-standard.

[quote]For a MIL who has 2 sons, wouldn't it be nice if she treats her daughter-in-law as a daughter and earn 1 daughter on top of having 2 sons ?[/quote]
No leh! My Mil always tells me that she has ONLY 2 sons! (full stop)

So much that we complain abt MIL. Have u gals ever thought what kind of MIL u will be??? On one hand, I tell myself I will never ever treat my DIL the way MIL treated me but very scared one day ended up \"like\" her leh.....

Prudential Hotel:222 Nathan Road, Tsimshatsui, Kowloon.


Positioned above the Jordan Mass Transit Railway , so its sheltered right to the hotel lobby. Its very central and near all shopping area in Kowloon.

rose:

Hi.. anyone can advise which hotel is good for stay in HK? Need to be near mtr, clean and comfortable. Will be bringing 2 young kids and mum along. Thanks.

I personally prefers to practice (A) initially but if that fella gets overboard I will choose (C).

Not that I'm a coward but more like experiences tells me that too many times the culprit will deny and there is nothing much u can do... This is especially true if she is \"supposingly\" :roll: yr close one

PS. What if that someone happened to b yr sister/close friend/next door neighbour?

Err... mother in laws included anot har? :lol:

Of course lah! Mine not just deny but instead go round the \"whole world\" to tell relatives that I \"bully\" old woman :x

mrswongtuition:

I normally chose B.

& I did just that recently to a close friend cum neighbour.
2 faced monster who tried to dig info fm me to gossip.

What if she denies and acts like a poor lamb going around claiming u have accused her :stupid:

How should u behave if u know of someone who has been going around gossiping about u behind yr back?

A) Ignore and pretend nothing has happen and continue befriending her
B) Confront her
C) Keep a distance from her and hopefully she will get the msg.
D) others

PS. What if that someone happened to b yr sister/close friend/next door neighbour?
