@Powder: Yeah, sometimes I wish I can just move house. But we still haven reach the initial 5years of our first house. Tonight have to find someway to tell them that we don't condone any 'patterns', any urgent medical cases will only be heeded if it is a call from a doctor in a hospital. Can't really trust their words anymore. Don't think they have any relative that wants to associate with them. Their relationship with the other relatives are quite sour due to fighting for inheritance (which they went and threatened to hurt their own mum if they didn't get any inheritance)
@Ting Yi: FIL is 60+ while MIL is nearing 50+. They are 'buddhists in name', they dun pray at all, don't worship much. Only will use it as a convenient 'tool' to get what they want (eg. filial piety).
As for getting a neutral 3rd party, been trying it for a few times. It usually ends up with them thinking that the 3rd party is in cahoots with us. Anything that doesn't go in their way is considered as unfilial and against them.
@Lee: Yeah it is the best reason I can give them, but I can sort of 2nd guess what they will answer me. They usually don't believe whatever anyone says until it goes in their way.
