My SIL msm everyone for the mother's day celebration again. In fact I am not really keen on this type of celebration. They celebrate mother's day, father's day and birthday but I don't see the point of celebration as they only celebrate because everyone is doing it.

How abt other mummies out there?

we do celebrate for our mum and other occassions within my family.
but juz like our usual weekly gathering.
have dinner and chit chat at my mum's house.
oni thing extras are cake and gifts on special occassions.

we don't fancy going out for a meal on these days where we know it's going to be crowded.

whereas my hubby side, they don't really celebrate any occassions.

my SIL also do that. last year she even plan for x'mas & new yr eve gathering at MIL hse which is so yucky, order so much food & call all the relatives,endup MIL tel us to tabao home which we dun want.

Last time SIL also like to call us to celebrate mothers/fathers day, MIL/FIL bday, even her bro's kids bday we must turn up(previously).BUt now no more cos everyone so bz & worst thing, they always love to celebrate on ACTUAL day, even if that day is a weekday, die die also must turn up & i super dislike to go out after work cos so tiring. heng no more or else i also wont turn up.

i personally dun like to "entertain" such event like birthday, xmas, hse warming etc... even for my own birthday, i also dun lik to celebrate, this yr is my 21st birthday and i even told my hubby dun hav to get me anything or celebrate cos i think birthday, xmas, or whatever day it is, every yr also have.. if every event also wanna celebrate, very busy leh...

back to the topic, mother's day! for my family, my mum is a very "chin cai" person and she's always wking on mother's day so we seldom celebrate. cos to us, as long as we can gather once in a while for dinner TGT, can alrdy, doesn't need to "purposely" choose a day just to hav dinner tgt...

as for my in-laws, i so heng that they dun celebrate mother/father's day but they do celebrate birthday every yr..

I just bought bird nest for my mother. And as for my mother in law, my hubby will give her an ang bao as she is a money grubber. Really! She loves money more than anything else & whatever stuff we give her, be it food or whatever, she will want to give it away to one of her children saying that she can buy the same item at a cheaper price or she does not really want the item. But when it comes to money, IMMEDIATELY she will lock it up inside her cupboard. And no one else has access to that cupboard except her. I just hope that whatever amount my hubby gives her, she will be contented & not complain or compare.

i'll give my mum ang bao for mother's day, whereas fir my MIL, she don't seem to be bothered abt it, and if we order fastfood delivery to celebrate with her, she just eat, and as if we owe her a meal...

some men are like tat de lor.
insensitive i would say. hehe

my hb cannot say not romantic but he's more meow and thrifty.
he will usually ask about the damage (pocket) first before he decide.

most of the things i will decide and tell him then he go assess can le. no options, can neg a bit oni.
