Evelyn,
The only thing you can do is respond when they instruct you to do thing. YES/ORH/HAO/LAI LE to them is impt because this show that you heard them and impt thing is must be loud and dont show that u r unwilling. Too loud they will say you are unwilling, too soft they cant hear.
Since u mention she is from traditional family, then daughter in law to them is like "Maid" must obey and serve them. What u do like helping out in cooking is your duty to them so dont expect any appreciation.
Tough to stay with them but try to lesser the friction. One more reminder try to find chance to complain to your HB example when things u find inappropriate happen when your HB around else soon your HB might get frastrated to hear both side complain.
Hope it helps you abit. Jia You.

Really like Philipino maid answering to 'mam' lor..

Ivian> Is it good to wear? cheap leh 5 bucks..
QQ,
I wanted say "maid". That is the old traditional way if you watched those palace show u will see even the prince and princess have to respond to their parent. My late father was like this worst part was once he instruct you do things, u must do it ASAP even though u are doing your things half way. He changes only after he got divorce and when after he listened to radio talking about building bond with your child. But too late or too little time for him to mend it cos he got stroke and passed away.
I can understand Evelyn's situation not good for her to be persistent if she continues to stay there.

Sandy:
Ya lo. No choice. Sigh. Usually unless she is difficult then I will tell hubby. Cause the last time, she started crying and being all melodramatic and started saying like things like, she cook for us and I never say "thank you" the kind of things. You get the drift. That's why minimising all contacts with her.
QQ:
I totally understand how she feels man! I get calls at 10pm if we are not back home yet. Coupled with the guilt trap thingy saying that it is dangerous etc etc even though we informed them that we are going to be home late.
Wah! You girls are making me crave for mango. I wanna eat the green mango, with dark soy sauce, sugar and chili!

I'm praying everyday that the youngest son get married soon. Then she won't be breathing up my neck...
I'm contented to be the redundant dil.
Anyway, I need her to get off my back these few weeks. After I'm done with my proposal, I'll have more time to deal with her. sigh.

Ya, the chrysanthemum we use in Sg is not as cooling. Just make sure it is not the white chrysanthemum. White chrysanthemum are cooling.
Oh! I just emailed the Taiwan embassy explaining my situation. Cause I realise even if baby has a passport, airline will require you to buy a return tic (to Sg) before they let you board the plane. Unless you have the resident pass or sth. Then baby dont't have ma. So asking how to go about doing it.
I told hubby documentations and stuff will take 1-2 mths. =x ICA very fast. Can get passport within 1-2 wks. But Taiwan embassy slower.

We will see what happen when we come back in Nov. If they decided to be nice to their grandchild, I wouldn't deprive them of time spent with the kid.
However, if they decide to be horrible and keep comparing and belittling the kid, I'll not hesitate to bring the child back to Sg where I'm sure he/she will be doted by many others.
Education wise, I told hubby it will be all done in consideration of kids future.

Mahjong, yes. We asked why she still wanted tat surgeon since the surgeon never protected her even during dating time aftr she complaints. She kepts quiet. She always showed off those gifts like LV bag lah, diamond ring la n etc. But she can't become tai tai lor. Surgeon wanted her to work n contribute to home finance n etc. haiz.. Dun understand. Really love ar??
LouiseLS:
hee. I'm trying to keep calm for the sake of baby.
I rmb reading a article online. About parents scolding the grandpa cause he dropped his bowl during dinnertime and they sent him away from the dinner table to eat by himself. All these, their son watched in silence. One day, the parents found the boy craving something out of wood. When asked what is it, boy replies "That is for you and mum to eat from when you grow old. So that you don't break your bowl" Since then, the parents changed their attitude towards the grandpa.
I believe in Karma. The PIL was of showing filial to their parents is by bring granny over and placing her in front of the TV the whole day. And MIL's way of filial piety is to hide stuff that I bought for grandpa in her room.
So all these, I watch and observed. It is all contracting to the values that they try to teach their own kids. =_=
Sherry:
The mango can eat with dark soy sauce, sugar and chili!
