After reading all the posts, I'm so glad that we live 3 and half hours away by flight from my in laws. The last time we were back in Spore, we did have clashes, especially now that we have a son. My mother in law is nice to a certain extent but I can't deal with the way she says certain things and some of the stuff that she says to my mum. She thinks that she's doing a great job raising hubby's niece but the reality is that she's doing a shit job! And there's no way, she'll be raising my son. We're heading back for Christmas in a couple of weeks. Just praying for no friction.
Got to add this. A few months ago, in laws came to HK to visit us as we just adopted our son. He was around 6 or 7 months then. We have different views of bring up kids from them. And obviously we clashed on a couple of issues but I dont't think in anyway i was rude. They went back to Spore and she mentioned to someone and someone told me mum that she said that I didn't have family upbringing (loosely translated from mandarin) I was pissed! I was the one that picked up her sister from hospital when she was discharged, I brought my son to see his great grandma (her mother) when husband was still in HK working when I headed back for summer. And her precious granddaughter who is more than 3 years old can't even call me or my husband! And I'm the one without family upbringing?
it is so rude for her to make such comments about how you were brought up. Who is she to comment anyway? You family will be disturbed if they hear this!
