MIL - My hubby's mom passed away long time ago so I do not face problem with MIL like what u guys facing now. But then sometimes don really agree with what my SIL says lo... Normally my sis, bro and nephews/nieces (I m from big families, have 11 bro/sis, 34 nephews/nieces) all will come back to my parent's plc for gathering on 1st day morning of CNY while my hb's relative gathering on 2nd day. So I suggest to my hb that why we spent our 1st day at my place then only go to his place in the afternoon since the gathering at his side is 2nd day of CNY (from my place to his takes abt 5 hours drive - both of us are Msian). Then my hb sisters insisit that we have go back to my hb's hometown for EVERY CNY eve and stays till the 3rd day coz 2nd will be their own relative gathering.
Then I quite angry, told my hubby by the time I go back hm at 3rd day all my relatives will not there already!!! So I prefer alternate year coz my parents all very old liao (mom 72 and dad 78) and I hope I can spent more time 'reunion' with them, so this year I don care, we spent the CNY eve at my place and go to his house on afternoon of 1st day CNY. Then when I reached their plc, I kena suan by the sis/cousin :"everybody go back to guy's parent place on new year eve whereby you so nice can ask your hb to follow you BACK to your house!!!".
Pls la I only married to your brother, not SOLD to him!!! If both parents stay very near (like within Spore) of course I will go to their plc for reunion dinner then go to my plc la. I just wanna treasure the time I can be with my parent lo since they are so old liao, yet my FIL only 60s. Really fed up these ppl really not considerate enuf for others!!!
Then on baby's name choosing, my SIL INSISTS that our bb name MUZ follow 'jia pu'. At first I dun want coz the middle name will be 'zhong' (mean clock in chinese), so nan ting. But at last I have no choice but to name my bb's name with middle name 'zhong' coz I think we can call him by christian name so it's ok.
Then this coming year's CNY, my SIL INSIST that we muz go back to his hometown. I explained that bb still very young and not very good to travel 7-8 hours and also the place so ulu, if anything happen then how? I dun trust the doctor there!!! Then muz travel so many hours back Spore. The reason she gave is "all relatives will be back and can show our bb to them". What the f**k!!! She think my bb is monkey ya!!! I told my hubby I will not let my bebe travel this time coz bb still young and the journey takes too long liao. Scare bb cannot tahan fall sick then how??? Ai. . . sometimes really very difficult. They will not stand in your shoes think for you one lo.
Sorry I very chang qi hor. . . but then no where to complain, the qi keep inside very nan shou!!! ha. . .
