This is just to vent off steam. Not good to be a "presure cooker". Also problems do not seems so big when they are listed.
1) Getting unwanted items
- stressful when u already dont have space for essentials
- 15 % (mainly frustrating)
- Gift cards or Ang Pow is still the best
- Straight Cash is always wonderful but thats something we ask our own parents not in-laws
2) Getting unwanted comments & advice & complaints
- not just in-laws from strangers too
- 80 % (mainly upsetting + some frustration at why people cannot age gracefully)
Maybe because my parents do not like to complain and my paternal aunts love complaining, so it really gets on my nerves when anybody can find things to complain at least once everyday
3) Different food taste
- Asian saying of one kitchen cannot have two cooks (harder since I dont eat Beef and prefer non-leafy vegetables)
- good for losing lots of weight since I am too picky on food, easily lose 1lb/day
- 2% (irritating but not frustrating)
4) Having to "entertain" them
- Its Asian culture to be respectful to in-laws whether u like them or not.
- its not in-laws fault but more of being tired out making sure they are ok while they are guest in our house. especially when kids are cranky or just in their "I dont want to listen to you" mode
- 3% (mainly tiring, also because I get easily tired when I dont have my daily stroll)
