Seriously... I am praying that we don't get this kind of DILs. There are MILs from hell. There are DILs from hell too.dimsum wrote:A few mummies mentioned there must be an underlying reason for her to be behave so direspectfully towards chung's parents. Well, I beg to differ. There ARE really some women who for NO reason, want to avoid any contact with their inlaws, not even once a year.
The 2 most extreme cases were shared by my girlfriends whose brothers were "gone" after marrying such women. Why I said "gone" because after marriage, they stopped visiting their own parents so as not to incur the wrath of their wives. One of my fren's brother used to be the guai guai type and close to the parents and siblings. So my fren was very sad to see the change in her bro. For another fren, she chided her brother and he will turn up for his parents' birthdays but the wife and children NEVER attend. It's really sad...
Not sure if it is due to their own upbringing or family background, I do believe that some people behave like that. I am seeing that in my own uncle. He married his good friend's sister. After marriage, she stopped him from visiting his friends or having gathering. She also stopped him from being actively involved in his religion. He has to do such stuff behind her back. It's been 20 years. This auntie of mine told my mum that she only visits her during CNY and on some ocassion (should my mum be honoured?). She simply don't visit any of my other 10 aunties/ uncles during CNY. My uncle would go alone with his only daughter. This is really wierd. BTW, my grandparents have long passed on so she has no pils.
