clover,
My MIL also hv no daughter, but somehow, she gif me a feeling tat she prefer boy lor...mayb bcoz of wat happen over my boy ba....u see during my 1st pregnancy, before we know the gender, out of respect since she is not working, we ask if she like to take care. she replied see how coz she dun wan to commit le then later cannot. then when know the gender, she say she dun mind to help take care if we really cant find any one to do the job.
but she keep changing her mind lor. like wen we say we get a maid to stay wif her to help out on taking care of our boy, she say ok no problem then nx wk she say it will nt be convinent lor...then wen we say we get the maid to stay wif us but ask if she can come over to look out for the maid and my boy she say ok but keep delaying me in getting a maid first and keep saying she wan to see how is my boy temper when she do confinement for me first lor. so since she keep delaying, wif consent from hb, i was on the look out for nanny le....then after i deliver, she still saying she wan to see my son temper first, but who know days after my delivery i found a nanny lor...
then when i break the news to her, guess wat she say,"actually I dun mind to take care as long as can save $$" then she start questioning me wat is the nanny dialect group and told me story of how one of her niece was brought up by nanny of her same dialect group lor.
then during my confinement, one day out of the blue, she suddenly mentioned tat if my FIL is still alive he will hv scold my hb for nt discussing wif them wen he apply for a flat in AMK and not near their place in geylang bahru lor...wen before customary she have already say this before and i have already explain y le.
anyway, i also think another reason she nt really happy tat it might be a gal coz I told her before knowing the gender tat i am stopping at 2 le....
