Q: getting used to/rid of Chinese mother-in-law
think I got it....... first I lived there (one month) ..had to get out...... now dinner out is OK..... but today was the best....big family dinner ritual my ass...... she did show up for the seafood feast and she did eat a little, but now she is gone (about 1 hour). Gone home to watch TV.... the spectacular Chinese New Year on Chinese TV...... she brought me a bottle of baijui....I said it was no good..rather have my beer, so I did.......drink hers later.... I have my own whiskey, gin, vodka if in the mood..
I am happy she came for dinner and I am happy she ate and ran................ maybe this sounds awful, but my mother-in-law is just a little bossy ...... think I have heard of a few others in China that may be similar.
10 years 13 weeks ago in Family & Kids - China
My mother in law has shopped for 3 days, cooked the entire day, I tried to push her out of the kitchen while I was cleaning, but she insisted. A really good MIL day. 8 people for dinner. 12 dishes on the table most were really good. I think we had a Fauxdeaux wine though, labels said "mis en bouteil en chataux" but failed to state in what country. Still.... I am now hammering some beer from my native home, although for some reason someone broke my streak with a Tsingtao.
BHGAL:
my wife does all that shopping and she does all the cooking ... daughter(my step daughter at the age of 23) is still kind of like in diapers ... she is learning, but only because I am here.....otherwise she'd be babied for life, I think.....great family I married into..... and I do love my mother in law...... just stay away and don't try to make any decisions for me or my wife or my step daughter..... in other words, shut up...I will deal with it.
we had 8 people here too ... didn't count dishes .... fridge is full now though for me tomorrow and .. seafood dinners "I love" ......... oysters and prawns and chicken and vegies and surprise surprise, boiled lettuce.............that's what I ate anyways ............ still drinking beer even as the festivities on china tv continue .... actually my wife came a few minutes ago and said the celebration is "bu hao"Scandinavian:
we also had a 25 year old diaper kid attending. nice enough person, but clueless beyond belief.
