Recently I started exchanging notes with friends as we have all come to the age where our in-laws moved in with us. Some needs encouragement, others feel blessed and some in despair.
So, there's quite few kinds of mother-in-law that I've discovered.
The Nosy mother-in-law. Let this image speaks for itself. The ones that forgets how you manage to run your household after all these years without her. The one that gives unsolicited and unwanted advice on how to run your home.
The Lazy mother-in-law. She retires from doing anywork. She live to eat, sleep and watch tv and hopes to live beyond 90s.....
The Evil mother-in-law that sets to ruin your marriage because of her own insecurity. She clings to her son and tell lies about her dil. She create rifts and cause the son and dil to have misunderstanding.
The IDEAL mother-in-law. The ones that makes herself useful by helping to cook, takes cares of her grandchildren and keep herself healthy. The one that is welcomed in any home and is always pre-booked by all her children.
The Smart mother-in-law. Haha...just for fun.
The BEST mother-in-law
And finally to future mother-in-laws
Conclusion
So which mil is yours? Mine? One of the above.
Guess the closest for my MIL is the lazy one! And she IS already in her 90's hehe. Apparently she was pretty self-centred when she was younger too. On the bright side, she never did interfere much as long as she got her creature comforts.
ReplyDeleteWah...you not scared, she reads your comment meh! She is already in her 90s, can excuselah but those that is still healthy and in 70s but choose to 'retire'..poor dil got to serve for many years lor. She doesn't live with you right?
Delete90's mean out of Internet age! Hahaha. She doesn't know English either so confirmed I'm safe. She lives with my SIL.
