I've never meant for this to be an outlet of frustrations but i guess this is what blogging is all about, right? As what Daph would have put it, it's an outlet for one to pour, to write whatever you wan to.
Honestly, I don't know who'll be reading this but i'm sharing in confidence cos most of you would have been personally "invited" by me to join me in my journey as a mummy.
HELP! SOMEBODY HAS BEEN REALLY IRRITATING ME AND I AM ABOUT TO BURST!
I shall not spell it out but some of you know who i'm referring to.
Now, does being an elder mean:-
1) you have the right to engage in careless talk? Make insensitive and ridiculous comments and thereafter forget all abt it and expect others to do likewise?
2) you have the right to ALWAYS find out what your children are doing despite the fact that they are all grown up?
I'm just terribly not used to this and i really don't like to be monitored. Makes me feel like a kid and honestly, it makes me wan to "rebel" and be spiteful.
Some are as such - ask for a yard when you'r given an inch.
3) make (unreasonable) demands and expect pple to oblige?
i pity my hubby. i seldom get direct dosages but hubby does.
(Ok, i seldom do, but I'm still fuming over the insensitive remark i heard over dinner last Sat. That was obsolutely unbelievable! One of the rare times that got me so upset!) Hubby's often frustrated but doesn't show, still very accommodating but as his wife, i see it all and i feel frustrated. I'm just so glad that hubby and i are staying on our own. If not, i think i' would have gone crazy long ago and/or relationship between hubby and i would have been terribly strained.
Now that Baby is coming, i'm expecting more "wars" between the MIL party and DIL camp. We'll see what happens. And ha, i guess now you know who i'm referring to.
Ok, i know what some are you are going to tell me - Honour your parents.
I AM TRYING.

Alamak! The MIL SYNDROME. Its difficult, but don't let that affect you for too long. I am not one of those who "pantang" during my preggy days...but er...last time, i used to bang books and bang my hand on the table everytime 5-2 made me upset. Then, i was carrying my Alisha. Guess what? Now she bangs her hands on tables too. And I swear my hubby and I have not done it at home :p so, moral of the story is, relax.cool down.u really have to master the art of letting those irritating comments go into your right ear, then evaporate out of your left ear...the LAST THING THAT YOU WANT IS FOR THE LITTE ANGEL TO TAKE AFTER HER. Touch wood.
Huh?! Alisha really did that? Oh my! How did she learn that?! *shocked* =O
I've been pretty happy throughout this carrying period til lately. Wa, with a demanding MIL like her who puts pple to test all the time, all the "kungfu" i've "mastered" over the years of staying superficial, being thickskinned as well as pretending not to hear a lot of things through what you've said, one ear in and the other out, is giving way.
I'm frustrated cos i see hubby getting frustrated and i don't like the idea of our personal space being infringed all the time, esp when we are all grown up, abt to be parents ourselves! Sigh, just exactly when will she learn to let go?
Also, some requests of hers could have been easily resolved without having to rely on hubby should she make a little more effort to.
oki, i shouldnt drone on and on here. We'll catch up ya? *wink*
