Mother In law Horrors

ShrodingersCat SG

[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... Laughing

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.

1. No, they don't call me only SO Laughing 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 Laughing

Trust me, this is good.... 'cos then she will not be fluent enough to give naggy advice on how to make many babies.

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. Laughing

Me, I'm lucky. My mother in law (I call her the outlaw BWAHAHAH) lives hours and hours away.

elindra SG

She can nag at my husband then Laughing
My parents just leave it to us and don't nag

Laughing Outlaw!! AAAAAAhhh Harharharhahahahaha!!! Like some Western movie like that! Twisted Evil

Rhonda SG

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!

After that, I don't think she would EVER give us advice on how to make babies liao! Twisted Evil

Laughing

elindra SG

That is provided your SO don't have problems doing it when parents are in the house

Rhonda SG

If he does, I can still attempt and make a lotta noise in the meantime! Twisted Evil

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!!

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.

Rhonda SG

Shocked Shocked

Omigosh!! Such a frightening MIL!! Razz Scary!! Razz

If we all followed that rule, noone would get married Laughing

Your friend's MIL is very difficult. Some distance between MIL and DIL is always good IMO.
