hi,
having heard the story from buay tahan, i really salute you...at least you really can "ren", it's not easy rite...
my mil is "fine" - if i can close one eye when she around...the moment she here :
1) she will carry my 2-yr-old most of the time and avoid me going near them ( if i walk towards them she will bring him to kitchen or i at kitchen she will bring him to dinning hall)
2) if her gandson is not within her sight she will scream loud for him and ask where we (hubby & i) hide him in the house (how big can a HDB unit be rite?)
3) If my aunties came visiting us, she not allow them to carry my child, saying he afraid strangers (knowingly he knows them)
4) Once a while we have gatherings with both my bro-in-laws families, she will treat my child transparent and only mingle with the other grand children, even my boy walk to her, she will feign ignorance and walk off (back at home, she treat him liked a KING)
5) She will never wash her hand after meal at home and start playing & carrying the kid, even her hands are dirty i told her off, she insisted they are cleaned (there are always traces of food left on my boy's clothings)
6) she will start complaining if i hide in my room and my hubby will order me to be at the dinning hall - just to show my face and make her feel welcome!
7) she will pour back her left-over soup for us to finish at dinner time
8) if we are going out with her, she will want to carry my child most of the time, claim that he is still "too small to walk" (almost faint, what the crap is she saying?)
there are too much things about her which i can't finish even 3 days 3 nights....it's true her appearance has sour our family relationships esp my hubby and i, to him, his mum is always number 1, despite what she has done, she's already old woman, we youngsters must respect her...i am too tired to ague with him liao, it's been weekly rountine...
