What's the point talking to hb? grin and bear it loh. I took to
the bottle. Its easier and less consequence.
Family relationships are complicated and people sometimes keep
things in their heart that they should not. So let them be as long
as they are happy. They do their part that they can give. You do
your part as a DIL. That is enough. In the past, my BIL dumps his
kids with us 99% of the time so that he and his wife can sleep,
shop and enjoy life and even when my MIL is not feeling well or
need rest - their kids are with us. I was the bad guy and told them
off that their kids are not welcome all the time. In a week, at
least keep them home over the weekends. In a way, I hope I help the
kids but my MIL and BIL/Wife resented what I did and really gave me
a hard time. Besides, I must say, I never liked kids, worse are
loud kids, and worse are kids who are not disciplined, most worse
are kid's parents turn a blind eye to every nasty thing their
children do. my BIL kids and my BIL/Wife fall into that
category.
But even with using my MIL service, my BIL's wife was never
thankful of her and made use of her to sell some of her M'sia's
stuff with requirement to return 100% of profit. I don't believe my
BIL contribute anything to my MIL as they are always short of money
but seems to afford branded things well. Its their personal
priority. However, for whatever reasons they do not want her, I
know it fully well myself. My HB choose to think her as endearing
even with the nonsense she says. But even with all these thing,
they are very close knit family and I had always feel like an
outsider among them. So what can I say. LPPL loh.
