You ladies here makes me feel so envious, lar... :oops: My MIL comes over to my place 3 to 5 times a day, everyday. The current arrangement is already the best so far - weekdays, she comes over as and when but I am at work (hence, can die cannot fall sick else will have to deal with MIL at home!). Weekends, the moment she comes or calls, I ask my children to go wake papa... so she doesn't call/come over too early like she used to! Imagine she used to come at 7:30am and my husband wakes up at 10:30am!! :yikes: :yikes: So halfway she might get bored or gan-cheong, she will goto my room, sit on my bed or next to it, then chit chat with my half asleep husband! :siao: :siao:


Let's not even get started on MIL's daughter's tactics!!

You are still better off than me. :rotflmao: I am a SAHM and i stay with my in laws....

ai ya me too....

but we moving next yr... cant wait....

My Mil acts very cool and kind in front of us. Behind that fake smile and gentle voice is a devil in disguise. She knows of my biggest weaknesses and whenever she needs to tame her son, she will have to tame me first by displaying her superb culinary skills. Before eating, i will say to my hb "Her personality really sucks". After eating, I would change my attitude 360 degree "Do you think we should let your mum stay together with us so i can have delicious dinner everyday?" My hb will reply "Your heart is so easily bought over by food, pls have more dignity".

I can identify with that...whenever we visit them and hubby is out of earshot, her horns appear with that tone of hers :mad: The moment my hubby walks into sight, those horns disappear and she smiles...it's very scary. How could she be like that ? My hubby would never believe me if I tell him.

My hubby makes it very clear to his mother from the first day of marriage that if she bullies me is the same as bullying him so she will try her best to be nice to me.

my own mum is even older than my mil but she understands that when i told her not to do this and that to my dc... only the mils in the world nv understands...

i doubt they don't understand. i think they just DON'T CARE. You are not her blood what. you're no one to her what. just her son's 'nu ren', that's all. why must she listen to you?

oh yes, she once mentioned...she is the mother and that will never change, short of saying the sons can change the wives.

Not her blood really reminded me of my mil. At times, when I'm not well, I will ask her what to eat or boil to drink, she will say not sure.

Then few days later, my sil got the same illness, mil knows what to cook or boil for her. See different standard. Heart-ache..

Frankly speaking, I treated my mil better than my late mother. Because she helps to look after my kids. I tried my best to take over the chores whenever I'm at in law house. But this is the treatment I get. I don't even think of asking her to cook or boil for me. I just ask for any other alternative beside seeing western doctor.
