<font color="0000ff">Good Day ladies!</font>
Wah last nite seemed like MIL topic again, keekee...very interesting while reading your postings. Something to share with you abt my MIL....maybe after u read my version, you may appreciate your MIL more. When I read abt <font color="ff6000">Hamasaki's</font> posting that her MIL cooks her favourite dish, I was thinking...wow...so good! For me, I've to wait long long ah! Cook favourite dish for me? I dun even dare to think!
Also when <font color="119911">Coral</font> mentioned that she 'complained' to her MIL that her hubby didn't listen to her & told MIL to 'help' discipline her husband. So good! If it's me, if I were to 'complained' to MIL abt her son, I'm digging my own grave!! MIL will scold me back instead that what did I do to her son, that's why her son didn't want to listen to me!!! My MIL is the super duper conservative old witch whom I really hate her inside out.
But I really can't do anything but to accept it. Thank GOD
we're not staying together.
Lately my mum happened to meet my MIL & they chatted. I heard their conversation I almost fainted. They were like 'suan' each other. MIL told my mum that she wants a GRANDSON! Cos MIL hopes to hv a grandson to continue the family name! My mum told her grandson/granddaugther nvr mind, as long as healthy can liao. BUT MIL very stubborn & insisted that she still wants a grandson. My SIL gave birth to gal this year. Initially her gynae scanned & confirmed a boy 90%, who knows gave birth to a gal & MIL black face. Mine also a gal. My mum told me if I can bear a grandson for my MIL, my MIL will treat me better. I agree with my mum too....but how can we choose the gender right?
Can get pregnant already very lucky & happy liao, still want to choose gender!!??
My SIL's bb gal was born with a hole in the heart. Juz went for heart surgery but till now still not recovering well. My hubby & his elder sis always highlight to MIL that look at the poor bb, health is the most important & please dun demand for a boy. But I think my MIL ears blocked liao...no matter what pple tell her, she won't listen in. My mum even ask my MIL, what if give birth again but still not a boy then how? My MIL insisted & repeated that she still want a grandson! Now when I watch those TV serials whereby the Tang or Ming dynasty, the Emperor must hv a son. If the 'Fei zi' gave birth to a gal, then will 'tou long zhuan feng'! I fully understand liao!
As for you all who mentioned that you'll remember MIL's birthday or go holiday buy gifts for her. All these methods I tried liao but no use. Everytime whatever ocassion I buy things to her, she sure dislike all & will comment all sorts of rubbish. I bought abalone, scallops etc during CNY for her. She said she hv liao, all these so common. Then another year, I thot she likes CNY decorations so I bought those decorations for her, she said later she hang them up & drop on her head will die! Whatever I do, whatever I buy for her, it's totally useless. I think my case is hopeless & I've given up hope to come to terms with her.
My fren once told me, angry with somebody also need energy & also will feel upset the whole day. I'm still learning but I think I'm improving.... In the past, I always quarrelled with hubby & I cried & cried.
Now, I can't be bothered abt MIL's remarks anymore. She purposely wants to make me angry or sad, then I must be even more happy to spike her back. If I angry or sad, then I've fallen into her trap!
