Hi
Low..
Oh, I'm so sorry to hear abt your MIL and SIL problem. Express your anger in this thread and u will feel better.
All the mummies here are simply too caring and understanding
If I were u, I will also choose NOT to keep contact with the SILs. Regarding culture shock, I believe its common. Till now, I still cant get used to my HB's family culture yet! You are not alone.
My anger is over but I still dun want to talk to my HB yet. There are 2 reasons why I was so mad.
#1. My FIL is too naggy until I really cannot 'tahan'. He repeatedly asked me what is Shichida, and why we let Edison take the course when he is still to young. He thinks its a waste of $$$. I told my HB to warn him NOT to ask me again. If he choose to ask again, this will be my answer: "I am paying the Shichida school fees, not using your son's $$$. So, dun worry. In addition, Edison is my son. I have the right to plan for his education path! I don't need anyone's consent!"
#2: My HB is becoming more and more stingy after he left the SAF & suffered a pay cut. I had a big quarrel with him over $$$ issue. Gosh! Last time, there was a guy who likes me so much, always buy me gifts and treat me to restaurant. But I din choose him cos he was rather short and plump. I choose the one who is slimmer, but turns out to be so stingy!!! Haiz! Maybe its my fault, not HIM!
Enough enough of my lamenting! Anyway, its Friday... we shd cheer up... we will have more time with our little darlings during the weekends....
