M.I.L

seems like every friend around me, tt I knw of, has got a problem with their mother-in-law. and friend's friend, and friend's cousin, and friend's friend's other friends, and frr ... ok, u get what i mean.

u see, let's put it this way - we cant always see eye-to-eye even wif our own mum, what more it's other ppl's mum u've gotta put up wif! technically, u've got no responsibility for that woman shouting from the kitchen u knw. sigh, but hell, tt auntie is ur beloved hubby's mum lo. u can hate it all u wan, u stil gotta face it.

and stereotype of MIL: like to nag, like to bully and wronged their DIL, tend to say,' i actually treat u very well one ah, i nv pian-xin one!". but to recite this is jus to cover and explain what they hv lack doing. Sam Leong said,"只有作错事的人才需要解释."

and there are 2 types of DIL: one of those tht are very chia, wil fold arm, talk back and roll-eyes; the other is the typical 'good' DIL - juz look down look away and keep quiet. simply to avoid more nagging and unpleasant chain effects.

i muz say it takes huge effort and lotsa and lotsa tolerance to go thru these. and most DIL kept quiet becoz they do not wan to sandwich their hubby in-between. so, it also take them a high level of 'love' to be able to pull thru.

my colleague asked me not to be scared. "no i wun. i knw in time to come, i'll hv mine to deal wif." but i will not worry until then. or if i ever hv to worry.

so all hubbies out there, spare a thot for ur lovely wife. but coax ur grouchy mum too. after all, they r 'sharing' a man they love so much with another woman!
