In-law problems?

BeContented:

Me house also can only have 1 kitchen 1 fridge.....and that's our main 'battle-ground' :roll:

I so agree with you, BeContented. We live in two separate houses...we have 1 kitchen, and 1 fridge...still MIL picks battle with the stuff I have in my fridge. Every Sat comes on pretext of bringing juices to my family and then open my fridge and kitchen cupboards to inspect. :faint:

How do I know when I'm at the market or supermarket during that time? :roll: My maid reports, and some time during the same day, she'd drop hints about the kinds of food in my kitchen... :sick: I just answer in my usual mono-syllabic response and leave DH to deal with her. :please:

Mine here is the Empress Dowager type…wants to be picked and sent. So I don’t worry about her going to my place. Eversince i sent off my maid, there is no chance for her to kaypoh about my family. Why does she have to know so much anyway ? Even if my cupboards are filled with instant noodles, so what ? My hubby hardly had home cooked meals before we married.

Exactly the same thoughts.... for my DH infact he likes the instant noodles rather than me and I am the one insisting of proper meal but he likes them.. and MIL always have cheek to say eh u ppl eat so much noodles huh....

My hubby ate mainly instant noodles or economy rice from downstairs before we married. I am the one who always believe in a home-cooked meal like soup and rice. Some people will say rice and dishes from downstairs also like home-cooked but how can it be the same ?
The oil used, salt/sugar/MSG put in...I give up :slapshead:

HI ladies,

This thread has been quite quiet of late.
I dread to think of hubby’s sister returning for 3 weeks (akan datang, that means coming soon)…in fact, I just couldn’t be bothered about them wanting a will drawn up over THEIR parents’ flat…goodness me, did they ever think about this - if either of them fall sick, hard cash has to be taken out to heal them…couldn’t they just let the both of them stay in their flat and forget about all the ‘distribution of assets’ ???

Told hubby I don’t want to get involved at all because his brothers and sister (as well as their spouses) are ridiculously greedy. I have no maid and have 2 kids in primary school…and so definitely no time nor interested in their family nonsense.

When my FIL thought that he will not live pass his next birthday (becos the fortune teller told him so), my SIL asked my DH to tell their dad to write a will. If she is so concern, why can't she tell him herself? :stompfeet: Luckily my DH don't think it's a good idea to tell his dad & just ignore her. The last time I heard, my FIL agreed to write a will & leave the house to his only daughter. I was like :? because my MIL is still around & what about my BIL who is still single. If my FIL really passed away and if SIL becomes nasty, then where do they stay? :siao:

Told my DH & he said don't bother about it. The issue is too sensitive. Ok, so I just & don't care about their family affair.

Hi can anyone suggest a one day Christmas plan so as to avoid meeting up with mil and her fellow relatives on that day…

Festive season is a the time we rejoice. Unfortunately, for some of us, it's a day that we dread. Best is to use the kids as excuse - they want to go to the zoo, sentosa or better still, Malaysia and DH will just have to follow. :siam:

Haha Janet_lee88, I like your description about your MIL. Mine are the super bossy Royalties. :salute: If they come over...OMG....pick on our place from inside to outside. Might even have to take out the broom and mop and clean the floor as directed. Funny thing is their house is so much dirtier even with maids!

I don't like to carry them, so they blacklist me and accuse me of all sorts of nonsense. DH told me to interact as little as possible with them so now they know we are quite fed up, they are more polite. Nice!

think your DH is smart. Sometimes DH's stand can solve the in-law problems significantly.
