stay dun mean stay the other end of the island or some other faraway country ma...like, stay a few streets away or the neighbouring housing estate whereby it's easy to go back to visit. No matter what, when you put strangers staying together, there will bound to be alot of conflict. Modern girls these days are very independent not like some 50 years ago, where they listen to husband/ in-laws biding. We have our own mindset and ways to approach different things.
Where else, the older generation is totally different. Take my case for example, I saw how my bf's mother took care of his newphew. The doctor prescribed antibiotics for the boy, one spoon once a day. For those who study science should know the importance of keeping to the prescribed dosage, time and amount. But his mother chose to spread the prescribed one spoon of medicine over smaller portions through out the day.
Not only will this not help the small fella, it might make his condition worse. And she is not open to any comments as to how to take care of kids. As a parent, would you feel safe to leave your kids to her, even though knowing she meant well? This is just one of the many things that I observed while at his house.
I do not dislike in-laws, but I feel that we should avoid conflict when possible without straining relationships.

anyway, TS, how is it liao?
