Icylemon, OMG...tat mil of yours, if I were u, will blow my top & scold her too. No need my DH to scold. Such a blackhearted grandmom. Tell your DH tat his simple minded mom may say more evil to his gal if she go visit. Is this what he want for his little gal?
Seems like most of the more troublesome mil here r cantonese then? Coz mine too.
She also make me call her 'lai lai' but I m worse than u gals, y? She told me (infront of all her female relatives) way b4 me & DH have plan to marry, tat after married I must call her 'lai lai' coz she is not my mom.
I know she purposely did that infront of them to shame me so I immediately answered 'Of course, u r not my mom lah!' She shutted her mouth.
So till now, I still call her 'lai lai', I can't bring myself to call her 'mom' too.
Y cantonese mil like to be call 'lai lai', it's bcoz 'lai lai' means grandmom, which is 'higher' than our mom loh...stupid. To me, names r juz names, if the person meant nothing 2 me, everything abt her is nothing 2 me.
