I really hate this when people do this. They would pretend they are scolding somebody else. But in actual fact, after u think abt it, they are scolding you. it is very prentious and sneaky.
my parents in law are textbook examples.
yesterday, when we were at his parents' plc, it was mil's b-day. throughout the whole day, his parents only told my bb to call DH papa. Nothing abt mama. they dun even want to mention it. and my parents kept teaching DS papa and mama. when i'm feeding DS, they kept walking in and distracting him. what's the f**king point? In their black hearts, it's only their son and grandson.
DS is one particular fellow who does not drink milk once his realises there are other pple ard. i have told DH tat before, However, he refuses to communicate this to his parents. so i fed him for 3 solid hours with his parents walking in and out, blasting music and musical alarm clock at DS. In the end, he only finished 3/4 of the bottle. already i find DS too slim and his appetite very small and poor. this aggrevates me alot. bcos i'm trying very hard for him to put on decent amts of weight and there they are trying very hard to get his attention. all want to fight for his attention. but meal time shld take priority. his parents dun understand this. it's very frustrating. then still can tell me, they brought DH home every weekend when he was young. so i shld also do it. pls lah. last time policeman wear shorts. fil is working as a civil servant and mil is working as counter operator. u can just do watever you like, go to work half asleep also ok. i have no help at home and my work has a lot of stupid meetings and i'm very sleepy during meetings. i have already been caught twice by my own boss and countless time by my line manager for falling asleep during meetings.
fine. then the show must go on.
we left their place at abt 5+pm and went to shop ard for bb's stuff. he was still short of a bathtub, spoon and liquid baby bath. i also needed a cooler bag to transport ebm. by the time we bought everything and finished dinner, it was already 9.30pm. no cab. so reached back hm at 10.30pm. gave bb a top tail wipe and went back to my parents' plc. as usual DH called home to report to his parents. he was told off by fil, didn't spare a tot for bb, went home late, told him not to go running to them when he got prob.
actually they are scolding me. cos i was the one who needed to buy stuff.
previously, DH and i had a big fight and he went home to complain to his parents abt my attitude and all his grouses. his parents actually called the following day during lunch and questioned me what happened.
sometimes, i feel i should just tell off his parents and tell them wat a 'perfect husband' DH was. But i feel, when his father called, i have no business to go abt telling them my side of the story.
it is not what they want to hear. in their hearts, their son is always blameless and perfect. i am always the devil.
