hearing all the ILs stories, i wonder if i've gotten away easy. we stay on our own and few blocks from my mum so weekdays we eat at my mum's place or as my mum prefers, she'll pack for us to eat at home. she say better for wife to serve hubby cos at her house, she will naturally serve us one..so we seldom see his family.
i didnt get along with SIL before marriage, she had this notion that i was with her bro for money. but when she found out i earn more than him, she realised her mistake. as for MIL, let's just say my hubby is her darling bao bei (or in marketing terms her CASH COW!). he's the eldest and always try to be there. i make more of an effort now to join in family gatherings and encourage him to go visit his family - esp his mum. i can sense he misses her a lot.
maybe in a way, im like Cassey. my mum hates it when i badmouth MIL or IL family because she say it reflects badly on her if i don't behave. so i try to be the good DIL though it sometimes (or most times!) goes unnoticed. but i don't care, because there is a GOD and that's all im serving for.
