Most women who have traditional parents would also do that: not showering for months. Uuuuhhhh...<BR/><BR/>I can't believe you stayed with so many people back then in one place. I agree with Karen, though...it's always nicer to have your own place no matter small it is: for privacy and freedom. <BR/><BR/>My Mom's trying hard not to be involved in my brother's life and his wife's. He wants to make sure that they feel at home living together with them in the same house. :-)))) I'm GLAD they get along REALLY well.Amelhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16792921371964029469noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4187131513409862167.post-62388269044432380112008-10-03T00:17:00.000-07:002008-10-03T00:17:00.000-07:00me too, i like your kampong childhood alot.^_^me too, i like your kampong childhood alot.^_^huierhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10210966126079239393noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4187131513409862167.post-51081010732059185462008-10-02T23:49:00.000-07:002008-10-02T23:49:00.000-07:00Nick - I think staying and growing up with your ow...Nick - I think staying and growing up with your own big family is fine but to suddenly fit into one feels really awkward.<BR/><BR/>I don't really look back on unpleasant memories or even remember them very much.

It was very very shocking for me actually. The 1-month maternity leave was the worst. I wanted to scream! The feeling of being watched constantly and nagged at was unbearable, especially in a small enclosed space.Blur Tinghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07792543153416871887noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4187131513409862167.post-69782263699816525132008-10-02T21:15:00.000-07:002008-10-02T21:15:00.000-07:00It's funny how sometimes we look back and knew tha...It's funny how sometimes we look back and knew that things were not quite right from the beginning yet we hung on... glad that you have a better life now.

I can really understand how you must have felt then!<BR/><BR/>When I first married my husband, before my in-laws and us moved into our respective new flats, I stayed with them in a four-room apartment in Serangoon. They were the most understanding and easy going in-laws that anyone could have asked for. But even then, I was really very uncomfortable and felt really lack of personal space.<BR/><BR/>It's good to look back once in a while. Good or bad memories alike, serve as important lessons for growth in life.<BR/><BR/>Have a Great Weekend!WaterLearnerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08139805235427951649noreply@blogger.com
