Before married, gathering was with our family, relatives and maybe sometimes distance relatives.
After married, gathering will be with pil, husband's side relatives, etc..
Even though we don't have anything in common to talk must also show face during lunch/ dinner gathering, etc... Worst is when it comes to CNY gathering, our pil will give a must go list of relatives' houses visting that we must go and expect us to stay there the whole day. Seriously, nowadays youngsters or sometimes even married couples don't really attend these kind of gathering cos majority of these gatherings are more for PG generation.
But old pple want us to attend these gathering so that we can have bonding with them or their own children/ extended cousins etc...
How many mummies out these like to attend these kind of gathering?
I myself, don't really like to go these kind of gathering as it will be another round of comparison and show off session ( e.g., which house my son/ daughter buy, my grandchildren can do this and that, etc...) I don't find that these kind of gathering helps with bonding, but old pple think otherwise..
