hmm.. think i'm quite fortunate.. though almost 1 yr liao.. so fast. hubby do help in housework chores without asking though he's still trying to improve hisbad habits which his granny had nagged him for the past 20 yrs. Only difficult thing is that, he's the only son/grandson so of coz pampered somehow.. so always got "scolded" by me. Never thought of consequences.
As for own place, hehehe.. no difference for me coz i moved out to live on my own since uni days..
THE only complaint is that no more big bed to sleep but have to share..
for finance, we sort out before the ROM that who's incharge of what etc so this area until now still ok coz we just started abt 2 months after AD. AD will make money look messy coz some can pay by credit, some by cheque, or only cash etc.. so all got messy.
As for work life.. more stressful of coz.. become SUPERWOMAN.. work till evening, go home cook dinner.. then work again.. dunno if i'm a robot or human..
but at least today i received a present from my ex-student which really brightens up my day. In fact, is all these little gestures or cards or even visiting that make us happy and feel worthwhile in this profession.
Bear> I think since you are gtg to ur MIL place for customary, do tea ceremony there too with ur HB's relatives. Afterwhich you need to go home to your parents' side to serve tea, then ask ur relatives to meet at ur parents' place.
Try not to have it in own house coz as what u say, pple comment and who's gtg to clear the stuff later.
Take for instance, my case. Only friends/sis/bros went back with us to new house. Then we procceed to my parents' place for tea, and nitetime, stay in hotel after banquet. So, by the time we went back our lovenest, saw ants moving around liao coz they drank packet drinks and throw inside the metal dustbin which is not closed properly. Some even threw in the bin inside my study room.
My GIL also wanted buffet at new house on our AD but we refused. So, we made 3 trips coz some distant relatives cannot come at 9am..too early.. stupid rite..
So fetch bride go groom's place, pray to ancestors then served tea to immediate family then go new house change clothes, go back my parents' place to serve tea, then back to groom's place for tea serving & lunch.
What to do.. now ask if want house warming or not, GIL says no need.. up to us..then dunno why she insisted to have it that time. Sigh..
Btw, ask a stupid question. House warming is to cater most people's timing or just a few pp's timing?
Sigh.. anyway, have been using work as an excuse to escape from all these showing off.(to me)
If pp want to see your house, and you knew for sure they are gtg to give bad comments, will u invite them?
sigh..
Oop... allof the sudden realised that i complained too much..
sorrie pple.. too long never come in to vent frustrations. ehhehe
