In-law problems?

[angegiam]

For me, I just stop going totally after 5yrs of hoo-ha. Now only my hubby and 2DS will go and visit once a month or once a fornight. I think as long as IL dun like you, no matter how hard you try or whatever you do, nothing will come out of it. So instead of being so upset and trying so hard, might as well go enjoy yourself. Why torture yourself over it? Life is too short for such agony. :lol:

I go for yearly fortune-telling, and this one happened to be an Indian Astronomer who was looking at me and Dh’s readings.


He made a statement to me:
"DID YOUR MOTHER OR HIS MOTHER COME INTO YOUR MARRIAGE DURING THE EARLIER YEARS, TRYING TO INTERFERE OR DO SOMETHING TO YOU?"

I was like laughing so loudly that I said, ‘Yeah, it was his mum’.

But I was amazed that he was so accurate in our readings.

Haha, ur hub must be red in the face if he knows. Guess I must go for 1 too to see if I had murdered his family in my previous life or vice versa.

[quote]My MIL and SIL were very nasty to my parents too. Recently, they invited my parents to my SIL's wedding, but the wedding card is blank one, said dun have time to write their names. My parents were angry, but said had to give face bec I will kanna gossip if they dun turn up, since none of the relatives knows that the invitation card is blank.
[/quote]Hey not bad lar winth at least still got invitation card. :lol: That time when things did not sour to this stage where I stop going back, my BIL was preparing to get married too. My parents did not even received invitation card. Only ask me to go home to tell my parents that they are invited to the wedding wif FIL giving so many excuses that it is not convinent for him to go up to my house to deliver the invitation card. After all family liao, no need so formal. My gosh................. :shock:

My parents so pissed especially my dad. He initially refused to go till my mum tell him the same thing as what your parents say.

can we not mitigate in between?
my late dad did not want to invite my PIL to my bro's wedding for some reasons/misunderstanding; i had to insist and go through my mum's 'route' to get the invitation card issued out to my PILs. all these, my PIL did not know cos they don't have to know; but ended up, PIL did not attend cos while they said they were not feeling well, i think it was because they did not like to attend such functions. :roll:

[angegiam]

I guess my IL wanted to invite my parents cox my FIL want face. It is just that they do not even have the courtesy to give me the invitation to bring home. Just ask me to tell my parents. Not sure if you get what I meant?


But anyway this is only the teeny weeny part of the ice-berg. I guess all is already beyond repair.

[/quote]Nope. They say it directly in my face that they don't have time to write their names down, saying things like they don't know their surname and chinese name (though I told them that I knew how to write), then it comes the next reason: it's difficult to write, maybe I just write on it then pass it to them, so they get a blank invitation card.

\"If we have a competition for \"THE WORST SIL\", mine will not only get champion but also special prizes for every category.\" :laugh:


This one statement alone suffice, mrswongtuition.

\"Thankfully, we do not hear from them (ILs) at all. Living our own life as a family happily with my family. We don't even talk about them at all.\"

Lucky you, then! :celebrate:

Oooooh boy, this thread seems to have revived aye? Gets me itching to write more stuff.. Let me distract myself by updating my other threads. :lol:

[KopiYing]

MIL & SIL! ARGH! I really kena hard hard by them. At times I still tear whenever I recall what happened. It's like forever MY FAULT. really long story and nobody can say who is right or wrong.


Seriously, I can communicate very well with a lot of aunties but how come not my MIL :?

dear winth dear...
maybe you could have take the card, write in the name before passing them to your parents and keep the PIL's comments to yourself...
