janf, my MIL is cantonese leh but she not pantang on this..... i think she can't be bothered.... although i am pantang but then for now, my hb's underwear is still dumped into the washing machine together with hers.... i told hb liao but he too lazy to wash himself.... so u see, it's all the different habits so when it comes to housework, will also be difficult lor....
when i see MIL vacuum and mop, i will offer my help lor but she always say don't need leh.... but of cos when i know she won't be coming back and wont' be mopping, i'll get hb to mop while i vacuum lor..... as for the washing of clothes, sometimes hb will do it cos it's just the 2 of their clothes so not so much... while mine is washed at my mum's place still mah..... then we don't cook so not too much housework.... as for toilet, it will be the day i cannot tahan liao then i wash lor.... their tolerance for toilet is darn high.....
