Faithfully, one thing I've found is that many mothers and MILs are not aware how to make Bu soup too, or have good knowledge of Bu, so maybe your MIL falls into this category?
My own parents are a bit like that, so I just try to ask around and discuss with my mum. I guess as long as one side parent is helping to prepare the Bu (like your mum), the other side parents/ in laws may choose to lie low hee... My PILs just gave us a sum of money, and so far hasn't bought me any Bu too. I think I will have to do my own research since my parents both think we younger generation are over-reacting with the Bu factor, says during their time not much Bu but yet everything turned out ok heee... So bo bian, have to be independent then.... Many parents are quite Bo chap these days, so don't feel too bothered ok
