Looking at the poll results, there is still no takers for 'talk to her, try to understand her strange habits'.
Good! It shows that I'm not the only one who think this way.
I ain't talking. Too much and and then say something wrong, I'll get into shit and she'll ring the whole of Spore to say that I'm a terrible daughter in law. But she's also afraid of me because early in the marriage (a few weeks in the the marriage) we were out for dinner and hubby asked what I wanted to eat and I said sweet and sour pork. Then MIL went on and on about how fattening and how many calories are there in that dish. Hubby looked at her as she was going on and on and told her to shut up! And she promptly shut up and that was it. So she knows where she stands with her son too.

Karma?? Hmm... my MIL's luck is still very good. I think people born in the year of tiger are very strong and powerful. She said she never lose money at gambling, always win. And she always strike lottery too.

No lah! She only have secondary 2 education, chinese ed. She was a factory worker. Used to work for Van Houtan or something like that. But very health conscious or whatever. She tries her best to read more and learn more but most of the time, she hear from so and so and hear the radio and come up with her stupid theories that annoy me. But I try to bite my tongue sometimes.

I'm born in the year of tiger too! Before we got married, she tried to snoop around to find out what animal sign I am and my dialect group too. Hubby and I dated for 10 years. We met in church but in laws not Christians but mil's sisters and mother Christian. But the more she probed and snooped, it was harder for us to break up and finally she had to accept that we were going to get married. And when we got married she tried to impose those religious rites on me but I stood my ground and said no to her. Pissed her off, then she tried to get her family members to speak to me but they told her that we're Christians so none of those rites. Ha! Got her really mad. Guess, me this tiger got her rabbit scared!

whn she knew i was preggie she wished that I abort it away. asked me to clean this n that, climb here n there, paint the hse, clean the window. (all these was done before we rom) she hv gt 2daughters but do not understand why she can't ask her daughters to do it.

whn I miscarriage she wished that her son will not marry me anymore cos no more baby, but still hubby wanna go ahead wid wad has been planned, be it wid baby or w/o. I was so devastated wid the loss of our little one and she hv the cheeks to call hubby while we r in the hospital n rush hubby to go home for dinner (we are waiting for the cleaning surgery of miscarriage as our little one die insides me) nvr once did my 'mil' or 'fil' acc us to hospital, it's always my parents who put off their work n come b wid us.

After ROM she wished we would divorce and even told my mum I hv no upbringing n my brains grow grass. I shld hv rebutted on the upbringing part cos both the daughters hv none of it. they nvr once call me 'dao sao' or even acknowledge me and yet they hv more upbringing then me?? tsk tsk. I srly hv no idea wad are they thinking.

'fil' thinks his 2daughters very precious and said 'I no son nvm one. I still gt my 2 baobei daughterand many godsons' Now are the daughter gonna pass dw his surname or his godson will follow his surname?? srly no brains. and even told hubby wife run away thn find new one la!! like srly as if they very rich like that.

we don't even hv a wedding banquet (partly cos I don't wan it and another part is they can't even afford to open jus 1 table!!) say rom jiu can le no need customary or wad. wtf!! and say until I after their money (they r poor ass wid no savings, fil hv to bootlick sil's bf family) fil nvr once saw my parents! nvr even come up to my hse to discuss abt wedding stuffs, nvr turn up for our rom(claims that gt to work!! whn my whole family put off their work to attend my rom!!)

we moved out of their hse after knowing I was preggie again, nvr once did they ask abt this baby. after I gave birth, my mum was nice enuff to let my hubby inform his parents. they came to the hospital the next day n nvr even acknowledge my parents whn saw them!! best was I'm bf-ing behind the curtains n they jus opened it!!! lucky I finish bf-ing!!! afterwhich they nvr cane to visit me n even ask hubby to bring Bby go his grandma hse let grandma see. I was like ' my grandma hv to come visit me frm so far so wad makes ur grandma so big tt I hv to bring Bby to HDR personally!???' I was still doing my confinement!!!

Agree!!! Tts wat happen to me oso... N best part is she always trying to break us up....

Yes, MILs think they are the greatest mums and have the greatest children in the world.
They think their sons deserve the best women and somehow the wives their sons marry aren't good enough for them.

Omg princessyuki... Ur situation so jialat... But as wat my friend said before... It's better to draw line earlier than later... Not I'm being mean but next time touch wood they got old folk illness u no need to pay medical bills or care abt them... If I'm ur hubby I won't bother to bring baby to grandma hse... Since they don bother abt u why u bother abt them? Rite... They don appreciate wat u do at all

A few years ago, we were already living in HK at that time, in the course of hubby's weekly conversation with his mum, he found out that his dad lost all his teeth and that it'll take forever to wait for his turn at the polyclinic to get his dentures made. On top of that, he's diabetic and so it complicates things. He was losing lots of weight by them and he was basically eating congee. My mum is a dental assistant in a private clinic, I took the initiative to call my mum and get my mum to fix appointment for FIL, and told her that we'll pick up the tab. Clinic is in Orchard Road and then specialist in Joo Chiat. When we came back for a 4 week holiday, I ferried by FIL up and down to get his teeth fixed. When he saw the dentist, the dentist was alarmed and he said that my FIL was malnourished. What made me mad was my brother in law, husband's younger brother and wife live in Spore. Every day, they drop their kid off there and have dinner in my laws place and they don't see that my FIL had issues with his teeth. They simply didn't care. Freaking selfish. And when I stepped in to help and fix things, no word of thanks and now, I've no family upbringing. And yes, we picked up the bill. I told hubby to tell his parents not to worry as we'll pick up the tab.

My MIL is also very health-conscious and always like to say this is unhealthy, that is unhealthy etc.
I know everything needs to be taken in moderation. I cannot take it when she keeps on saying and nagging. My MIL is into direct sales mkting and she will sell various products at different times, depending on the latest fad. Different types of health supplements. She will give some of the products to her children to try (son & daughters) but she has never offered to me anything.

During my several mths of pregnancy (34 weeks now), only once they prepared bird's nest soup for me and asked my hubby to bring to me. It was because my hubby asked them to prepare for me. You think they would do it on their own initiative? So what if the baby boy I'm carrying will help to carry on the family lineage? They don't even show enough care and concern to me.

In fact, for our housewarming, they didn't even give us any ang pow! I'm not expecting a lot. Just a token sum for blessing. Neither did they bother to attend our housewarming lunch reception. MIL busy with her direct sales seminar. FIL was overseas. In contrast, my parents attended and gave us an ang pow to give their blessings.

For our wedding, my parents-in-law only gave us the ang pow during tea ceremony. Actually my FIL still owed me the $$ for 2 tables as he donated the ang pows away. I paid for the wedding dinner reception using my credit card. I didn't ask him for it until this year (more than 1 year later) and he still doesn't pay me back. He said my husband should be the one who pays me. But he was the one who donated the money to his association!

Both my hubby and I paid a lot of money for our wedding expenses (honeymoon, photo shoot, wedding dinner) and our own home & renovation. I don't expect my parents-in-law to pay anything for us, but at least they should not make things worse! (They are super stingy! They didn;t even bother to give token sum ang pows to my 3 'jie meis' during my wedding when we went over for tea ceremony... My parents, unlike them, gave ang pows to everyone, including my hubby's 3 'xiong dis', make-up artist, videographer, photographer.)

The things I have done for them I do not wish to repeat, as I have mentioned them in the Jan 2012 Mummies page. It is just not reciprocal.

I wonder when our baby boy is born, whether they would even give an ang pow or buy a set of baby clothes for our baby!
