Good Morning Mummies...
Has been cold cold days... rain and rain and flooding in many countries.... What a disaster. My Brisbane/ Gold Coast trip in April, wonder still can go due to such condition there now....
Maruko,
Moving out is a big issue and have many considerations to think about. I know on your part, you hope for her to move out soon, but your MIL and hb also have many reservations too, so, cannot blame them entirely. True lor, relatives will mock at your family and ppl will sure think her children and DIL not filial.. I believe your MIL want face too, so, trying to cover up. Also, old ppl will sure think waste of money to get another flat, staying together is more cost- effective. Looking at her reasons, I think it is quite unlikely she will move out liao. Meantime, why not ignore the past and focus on your family planning, and try to make peace? I also think her kind of character, she will never change one lor... she may be good now, but later her old pattern will come again.... Bear with it lor.... Every family has their "ugly" stories too, just that they dont say out only.. I had been also unhappy with many issues with IL side, but we cant severe ties also mah...whatever it is.. they are the one who brought up our hbs. So, learn to take it easy and turn a deaf ear to her naggings...
Chris,
I think the old ppl are usually the one who are hard to get along. Old ppl are not so tactful in handling maids. They are usually fussy and think maid must this and that. Times are different now, maids these days are more educated and does not want to be treated rudely. True, maids do show attitude when they are being "ordered" in an unpleasant tones, so, it is unavoidable such problem will arise. My MIL also dont like to have maid at home one, just that she has no choice, too many children at home and really need the maid to help out.. so, she just have to manage her own emotions and learn to relax and bo chap maid. If not, the old ppl will suffer from all the angers and cause high blood!!!
