Mother In law Horrors
-
[Oops edited this cos I realised some miscom betn me and my friend. She thought I was going to put this up on my blog.. not in public forum]
So.. questions anyway!
1. How often does ur in laws call you? (as in to YOU specifically not ur partner, i.e. their kid)
2. Does your in laws have the keys to your house? Do they call you before they come?
3. Any other MIL horrors?
My mother in law is okay.. she's pretty easy to get along with as long as you listen to her stories so I'm lucky. As for keys.... neither my parents nor his have the keys to our house and if they visit, my parents will definitely call first. (But double standards cos if i go home I dont call them first hurhurhurhuhu) -
Heh heh....
Luckily we live on the other side of the island from both my parents and my in-laws. It was semi-planned (I brought this place long before marriage) and semi-lucky (just happens that my wife's family also lives far away). So we have privacy.
1. She doesn't call me at all. She only calls her daughter.
2. Nope. Cos we have too many secrets to hide. No one else allowed in, not even my own parents. No one except our swinging friends, of course...
3. Nope, except for the petty thing that mum-in-law doesn't really listen. Its like a monologue when in conversation with her. I could be telling her some story...and while I'm still speaking, she would just cut in and start a new topic, as if I weren't speaking at all. I can understand that some old folks are like that and I'm not offended at all. Other than that, I get a long quite well with my in-laws (not enough contact to breed hostility anyway). -
We're like gentlerock. We're like on different sides of the island though that might change when my parents shift back to their old place. We bought this place to be close to our work.Originally posted by ShrodingersCat:[Oops edited this cos I realised some miscom betn me and my friend.

1. No, they don't call me only SO My mother-in-law is ok but I don't have much to say to her and neither does she as we have a language problem and her English is kinda limited.
2. Both my parents and in-laws have the keys to our place but they always call before coming down. I think my MIL might be dropping by more often when SO is working night shift as she is bored at home alone. He's the one who is always keeping her company.
3. No MIL horrors for me so far -
Trust me, this is good.... 'cos then she will not be fluent enough to give naggy advice on how to make many babies.Originally posted by elindra:1.

Don't shoot the messenger ah, I'm only repeating what I've heard friends say... The best kind of mother in law is the dead kind.
Me, I'm lucky. My mother in law (I call her the outlaw BWAHAHAH) lives hours and hours away. -
She can nag at my husband thenOriginally posted by gentlerock:Trust me, this is good.... 'cos then she will not be fluent enough to give naggy advice on how to make many babies.
My parents just leave it to us and don't nag -

You know what I'll do if my MIL gives advice like that? I'll invite her over to stay the night or something, and then, that very night, I'll do it with my SO, and I'll ensure it's LOUD enough to wake the living dead!Originally posted by gentlerock:Trust me, this is good.... 'cos then she will not be fluent enough to give naggy advice on how to make many babies.
After that, I don't think she would EVER give us advice on how to make babies liao! -
That is provided your SO don't have problems doing it when parents are in the houseOriginally posted by Rhonda:You know what I'll do if my MIL gives advice like that?

If he does, I can still attempt and make a lotta noise in the meantime!Originally posted by elindra:That is provided your SO don't have problems doing it when parents are in the house
Then, maybe, they'll realise that hmm... could be that their son needs to learn how to make babies, not the daughter-in-law cause the daughter-in-law is very filial and trying very hard to fulfil her part liao! Let him deal with his naggy mom!!

A horror to read you guys stories.
But come to think of it, you guys are so creative to come up with such solutions. -

Another friend of mine.. she said.. u got to fall in love with ur MIL before u think abt marriage. :O
She told me horror story abt how she would take a shower at her husband's place before marriage, and right after she comes out, her MIL would enter to check if there is ANY hair left or any soap suds that she did not clean to perfection before she comes out. -

Omigosh!! Such a frightening MIL!! Scary!! -
If we all followed that rule, noone would get married
Your friend's MIL is very difficult. Some distance between MIL and DIL is always good IMO.Originally posted by ShrodingersCat:Another friend of mine.. she said.. u got to fall in love with ur MIL before u think abt marriage. :O
