Re : allowance
Aspialle : I used to give both my parent, but since my dad passed on last yr, i only give my mom now, but has given his share to her. I think 1/3 of the salary is too steep. My mom will always push the $$ back to me when i give her, but she will eventually take. But always use the $$ to buy stuffs eg, birdnest, ginseng or food which me & hubby like to eat and cook for me.
As for my MIL, my hubby gives her but she doesn't take, in fact, she will always bank in $$ into our son's account monthly, she says is for her grandson's education fee. She says she super low maintance cos she doesn't spend much, and FIL has passed away a few yrs ago. And she will buy a lot of gd food for our house as well. We are blessed to have both mummies to be so nice to us. Couldn't ask for more.

moonchip : ya, totally agreed. We are hoping that MIL can stay with us, tho she stays very closed to us, about less than 10mins drive. We hope to look for a bigger place, so that she can stay will us since she is alone, but she always rejects our offer. Hopefully with #2 coming along and with her staying during my confinement & a few more months till #2 is older, she will be used to it and continue staying on. We have been looking for suitable place near our current vincity as most of her friends & relatives are there, and also our sons' future primary school is there as well. But the price is a bit too high, so still looking

u all are the lucky ones!
moonchip,
now that i resigned and be SAHM, my dad not happy liao....he hopes that i can return back to workforce soon. Anyway, my parents are "zhong nan qing nu type..."
my grievances....need to steam off
----------------------------------
my brother was in credit card debts because he couldn't curb his spending, my dad just dumped his $$ to help him settle part of his debts...my mum hid this from me and wanted me to pay for his part time degree school fees. (that time i stopped work to look after my mum after her operation some more...i paid for all her medical and living expenses plus fetch her to my own home...bathe her, feed her myself daily)
one fine day...my mum actually rebuke me saying that I torture myself <zhi(4)> by following her around when she already has the companion of my brother...which i didn't know that they arranged to meet in the first place...got my brother forgotten abt me and my efforts in taking care of her....
My brother on the other hand, he has a stable job but refused to contribute a single cent when my mum is in hospital. At that time he wasnt in debts yet, i ask him if he wants to contribute to the medical expenses since he told me its his pay day and he is eager to spend his $$$. He took out two gold coin and place on the table...treating me like a begger....despite of that I still paid for his part time degree school fees twice which is abt $3k each time..
I find that i am really stupid lor...(if i dun help him, my parents will pressure me to help too)

canopy > in a way, good that she rejects ur kind offer.. maybe she has her own reason for not doing so? some elders feel more 'secure' to have their own home... so just let her be.
It is very nice of u to invite her to live with u.
aspialle > seems like his unhappiness boils down to $$ issue.. sigh.. is always $$ issues..
sometimes elders have a weird mind. they dont appreciate those who are nice to them, yet cling onto those who treat them like dirt.. sigh..
ops.. canopy, am not referring to ur side.. this is just what i experienced/seen..
argh.. dislike it when ppl zhong nan qing nu..

aspialle : understand your frustration. I am in such situation as well. I pay for all expenses in my mom's place and also all my dad's medical expenses including 2 major ops and staying in icu for more than 1mths. her place is fully paid, both my sis & brother (they are both older than me, my sis is not married but my brother is married but without kid) are working. I am ok with it as after all they are still my family, and i am fortunately to earn more than them. I even give my sis sub card and pay for her spending cos i remembered when i was younger she always buy things for me. I have lost one of my brothers when i was 18. He collapsed & died while running, he was 21yr old when he passed on. So to me, family is very important. I will pay for them if i can afford it.
I dun mind to bear expenses for parents but at times they dun appreciate. At times felt frustrated that my own parents dun spare a tot for me, I have to face them , face my in laws and my brother. Luckily my hubby is my gd support if not i felt I'm facing the battle alone

moonchip : actually, seriously speaking i dont mind staying with my MIL. In fact, we were staying with her & FIL when we 1st got married 4yrs ago. At that time, our house wasn't completed so stayed with them for more than 1yrs. I guess she still have sentiment values towards her house, afterall it is bought by FIL.

Hi all
Many many posts. Just returned from gynae. At 34 weeks, bb is 1.9kg. Still at 10th percentile
My children were with me and the gynae kept asking why my son is so small. Told him, iya they are all the same.
On MILs
I see all aging women sama sama. I hope I approach my forties gracefully. Praying really hard. You know it scares me when I see my friends/siblings who are approaching forties turning really bitchy and gossipy. I just pray I can keep my mouth shut when my time comes.
Cpurageouz
Hormones bah. Im getting headaches every single morning.
Aspialle
That sucks. But take courage that the person who'll walk with you to the end is standing by u...the elderlies will pass on in time, and even the siblings... The laying of coins on table was unwise and uncalled for. Walk away from it. Else we'll all grow old and bitter.

Full house , my karma. I accepted my parents are like that but can't walk out from my brother cos he keep turning to me to borrow $ every now n then even though he is working and I'm not now... I try to refrain lending him anymore but there are times he needed it for his work, for his company events to run... There are times with a big tummy, I have to rush down after receiving his call just to help him make payment. At times I think I did enough and don't want to bother abt him anymore... Arghh now that my bb and family is more impt, he is older than me shld know how to think , right ? If not I'm not helping him

My hubby bought a bar fridge from courts, funny thing is the manual never indicate temperature. There is a knob stating from 1 to 6 ( which 6 is coldest and normal condition to set as 4). Intend to store BM inside but don't know temperature how leh? Use within 24 hrs ? Got freezer compartment separately
Wow aspialle, u specially buy a separate fridge to store breast milk?
Just now, I also went shopping with hubby and we bought Ardo Calpyso breast pump, baby laundry detergent, washing bottle detergents, diaper wipe etc. In less than 2 hour our damages is about $500. I kept an excel spreadsheet on how much we spent on this first baby.
So far gynae checks + baby things already hit $5K. My confinement lady $3.5K + Jamu massage $500+. I think easily can hit $10K before hospital bill.
Shag....
Hubby said he didn't realized having a baby so many things to buy and so much expenditure... Then I tell him: 'now then you know. U still want three kids!'
