Life and love in the Philippines

Me I established boundries right off the bat! The first time my wifes mother visited without calling first I dragged her out the door and made dang sure she wouldn't do that again! After that her relatives knew I would be hardball player and things are smooth as silk!

My parents couldn't do that. They're just too nice.

When we first moved here, there was one time when my parents had a heart-to-heart talk with me. They said to me, "We love you. There is nothing you can do that will make us love you less. Even if you disrespect us, we will forgive you and tolerate you, because you are our daughter. But your husband is not our son. But we are tolerating him because he is married to you. Otherwise we would have already kicked him out of our house."

After over six years of living with my parents, I, my husband and our children moved out and now live in our own house. I can now sympathize with my parents even more. I tolerate my husband's bad habits and faults because he is married to me. Otherwise I would have already kicked him out of our house.

I guess I take after my parents.

During my first marriage I treated my Mother-In-Law badly. She was a kind sweat women. That was some 40 years ago. I regret it now and when I think of her it saddens me.
