Mother in law
Hi mummies , My mother-in-law visited our house last weekend. I really wanted to treat her well. The first day I gave her tea. she asked whether I have added sugar to tea. I said yes, a little bit. Then she said Is sugar good for my health? Why did you add it? I said sorry. I was worried about her words. Nextday I gave her tea without adding sugar. She ran to me and asked if I didn't add sugar. and she added little sugar to the tea. again I was worried, did I do any wrong mummies?
Dear mummy, it doesnât sound like you did anything wrong. If me, I will just give her either water or just pack drinks.. If she complain, then she wonât get any drinks from me anymore and I will just tell her off âyou are just creating unnecessary problem at my house, I donât see why I should still serve you drinks but not to worry that your son will bring it to youâ. This type of MIL needs to teach them a lesson and donât let her climb over your head! Especially when you have kids I am very sure she will make sure she involves every single things and wants you to be her follower. Be strong mummy! đ
Read moreI would just prepare tea and sugar by the side. If she still has complaints like why didnât you add in for her, then thatâs the last time sheâll be drinking tea (or any drinks) from my house. đ Not because Iâm trying to be unfilial but if she does that, she just sounds like sheâs trying to pick bones out of eggshells.
Read moreI will ask if she wants tea. I will prepare hot water, tea cup, tea bag/leaves and put sugar at side. It looks nice set up and tell her to add as she wish in a polite way. And I donât mind if she doesnât want to take it at all. I do my part as dil. Her parts is hers. Her reaction doesnât affect me
You didnt do anything wrong. Perhaps maybe you can ask her the next time if she wants sugar or not before making tea. Or maybe put a sachet or two just like in restaurants. So she can have it when she want it. đ
Next time ask her to make her own tea. đ Put sugar our prob, no sugar our prob. Later water not hot or too hot also our prob. Tsk tsk.
u are so nice.. if i were u, i will just ask my husband to serve her.. own son server her sure no complain.. đ
We never be able to please everybody in this life. Next time you may want to ask your hubby to serve the tea đ
tell her to learn some manners. its your house, your rules. hahahah. you're not the waiter and she's not the customer.
