Wendy/Rachel,
seems like i just started a topic on IL today.
actually i always think that no matter what IL say, it is our HB who plays the most impt role. as much as we don't like them to be caught in the middle, sometimes they have to play the bad guy. if HB is willing to be firm with them, i think we can save ourselves a lot of headache!
Wendy,
in your case, i guess Hb got to make a stand to them. how abt getting him to make noise to your MIL and your MIL to talk to your FIL? i remember there was once my FIL spray so much insecticide over the whole house just b4 we reach. my sense of smell was very sensitive and the minute i stepped in, i told my HB. he din say anything and ask me to go kitchen window to stand until the smell disappear. so angry with him. when my MIL come back, i purposely mentioned abt the smell and MIL immediately tell FIL why he spray such things when he knows we are coming over.
sysac,
your MIL comes to your house almost everyday since bb born? i hope mine doesn't. cos we dun have much to talk abt and she's quite naggy. she keeps telling me things i know already like i have to wash bb's bottle with detergent...as if i wouldn't be doing that right? and she actually told my hb to 'test' the maid when she comes. i hope she doesn't come so often or during confinement, i got no time or energy to handle all these.
rachel,
at least your MIL quite open minded. My mum is ok with a lot of things so i dun have issues like my mum being jealous if MIL comes over more often etc (i know of some who will compare) but i think MIL will not be happy if my mum comes over often!
seems like a few mummies will be popping soon....shd be able to hear good news in 2 weeks time??
SSF,
so u will be at your mum's place once u start to work from home? i hope my hb will take leave with me cos if i at home alone with maid, not very helpful right.... my MIL told me she wan bring me go shopping.....
