Hi Jane and cactus_79
My hb told me it's neater to keep 2 angbao boxes. He's simplifying everything. But I was just thinking whether it would look weird and if my distributed guest lists on reception table would cause confusion. He doesnt know that his sister has expressed that she WANTS to sit there and also has been asking me for guest lists (numerous times).To put it bluntly, she has even "casually" asked me, how to separate the angbao ah? That's when I first thought of 2 angbao boxes.
If I were to voice out and express my sentiments about her being calculative/bossy, I think he will be stuck in between. His sister is super duper protective over him and he is close to her. We've already quarrelled over her numerous times from paktor - ROM - reno - recent housewarming. She wants a say in everything. Hb did get upset with her, raised his voice too but he forgives/forgets very easily. Prob I'm the only one harbouring the hard feelings then =P
My in laws are way more cooler than her! Prob because she is the eldest kid, always "mothering" over her younger bro, thus she is very calculative and bossy *GGGGRRRRRRR* The sad part is my hb has always been quite dependent on her for opinions/directions since young. I was horrified to see her opening his letters. She buys him boxer shorts every CNY. I stopped buying after learning of this. Haha!
For our reno package, she was giving us such a hard time that the parents also told her to stay out of it in the end. The mum even joked that she was using the 10yr ago yardstick to compare the quotes we collected.
We discussed with them out of respect and to seek advices, not to be controlled by her...but she just never get it =(
