I've only travelled with her twice I think.
The first time was a disaster! The story goes - we were in Bangkok (it was 2005 I think), and she didn't bring any Thai Baht - while I did. And well, she commissioned me to follow her wherever she went (at a Mall's department store) so that I would be her wallet. Imagine - I couldn't go shopping on my own - why? Because I had to follow her like a dog to all the stalls that she wanted!
Then when we finally went to a Shu Uemura counter - she bought her stuffs and I did too! BUT I still had to pay for everything. Well, she said that she would pay me back. But the point was - it was very inconsiderate for her right? When will I have the time to shop? None!
So when it was time to pay up - I rounded off the amount and accidentally included the Shu Uemura eyelash curler that I got for myself. I absent mindedly included it to her bill and you know what she did? Well, she kept on repeating that it was MY purchase and not hers. To think the item was just P750.00 converted! Ano ba naman iyong iregalo na niya sa akin yun sa abala na ginawa niya sa akin diba? Yung oras ko para makapag shopping, ay nawala and instead I had to follow her around and be her ATM machine.
Yan ba ang Mother In Law?
Say niyo?

Protocols when travelling
My MIL has this weird thing about protocols.
She has this NEED to know everything. Well, my husband and I travelled first travelled together as a married couple. The night before - my husband told me 'HIndi mo daw tinext si Mommy na aalis tayo?!' To which I responded 'Bakit? Itetext mo ba ang Mommy ko na aalis tayo? Hindi ba kanya kanyang responsibility na yan?' I got a simple curt reply 'Basta itext mo si Mommy tell her we're going (insert country here)'
Do I freaking need to text? Its such a measly thing to do! But I guess for her, she needed ME or her DILs to text her. AS if she didn't know! Kaartehan talaga!!
Next week, we are leaving for HK. My husband and I have been mentioning our HK trip to our in laws since we booked them last February at the Travel Expo. Then a few hours ago, my MIL calls my husband declaring that she didn't know that we were going out of the country next week! My husband then asks me 'Hindi ba natin nasabi na aalis tayo next week?' I thought hard and then I remembered - we told her, more than 5 times actually and the latest being last weekend and the weekend prior to that because my husband's sister was going to Palawan this weekend and our trips would overlap. So, HOW IN THE HELL didn't she know? Acting lang ba?
Pang Famas??
Say niyo??

Hello! Hello!
I started this blog to document how weird and odd my Mother In Law (MIL) is.
I think she's only the 2nd mother that I've meet who isn't nurturing nor motherly. She is tactless most of the time and believes that every advice she gives is the only advice that you will need. She regards her opinions as THE only opinion. She would manipulate you in a certain way to make you agree to her views.
She's really something.
I was already warned before I got married. But then I was too naive to believe that things will change. They didn't.
She's so hard to love, you know? Whenever you get to the point that you're starting to love her - she will do something to change my feelings and irk me. To think that I am a very loving person ha. Ask my friends.
So I created this blog. To share to the world what kind of MIL that I have. To share to other that they are NOT alone. Sama sama tayong may mga KWENTON MIL (Mother In Law)
This is the new home of my previous blog. I have consolidated them in ONE - yes, ONE blog!
Visit often and I hope you can comment too!!!
