I seldom do online shopping because I am afraid I will be getting another item instead of the ones I ordered. I have seen a lot of reviews and videos complaining about wrong item, quality issue, packaging issue, missing item and even the 'no item inside' the package. I have an online shopping app in my phone but I just browse on it and close after. My boyfriend on the other hand likes online shopping so much. He told me it's way cheaper there than in physical stores. I told him it's just the same because he will be paying for the shipping fee which usually costs $2.00. That amount can be added to the price of the item that can be bought in the physical stores. Plus, when we buy in physical stores, we have all the freedom to examine or to see if there's something broken or something wrong in the product.
However, still I cannot convince him to just buy in the nearest stores here. His reason was always the price difference. Oh well, fine.
This is the reason why I tried to shop online last week. I ordered some shirts and dresses to see if I can get a good quality. Until now, my order hasn't arrived yet since I have to wait for 5 days or a week for it to be shipped completely in here. Yesterday, me and my boyfriend talked about my order status. Unexpectedly, his mom and dad butt in. I wasn't expecting them to meddle since I did not ask them to pay for my order. My boyfriend's mom told me I shouldn't order things if I still have something to use. His dad also added that it's a waste of money. I got annoyed but I still have my respect for them so I just told them that those clothing will be used by me so they wouldn't go to waste. But in my mind, I was mad because even my own family won't meddle with my own business. Although I was mad, I just left them there talking.
It's my money so I will do whatever I want with it and I was hoping they wouldn't mind.
Another annoying part is when I asked my boyfriend to buy me snacks - fries and siomai. His little brother saw him with the snacks that's why his little brother cried for he wants to eat too. I have no problem sharing my food. It's just his mom, not wanting this little kid to eat junk foods so my boyfriend asked permission to his mom if his little bro can eat the snack as well. Surprisingly, his mom got angry and she told us it's better if we bought viand for dinner than the snacks. Oh my! As far as I knew, I am buying my own viand. And one thing, was it my fault that she won't let my boyfriend's brother eat junk food? Does that mean I should not have that kind of snacks here just because of the kid? I know I should adapt to what they're used to in here but I can't really avoid to eat the food I want.
Please excuse me and my feelings. I just want to let this all out or else I will carry this heavy feelings for the entire week or even a month. I just feel like you guys here can understand me and would give me advice if you have time to read what's in here. Wait, I can't even remember what episode is this for I have written articles about this place. I know you're wondering why am I still staying here despite the situation. I should move out and be at peace because that's what I deserve. But, I have this reason why I am still staying and I will let you know about in the right time.
Yes, I'm still not married but it seems like I already felt the feeling of being married and living together with the in-laws. To make it short, I don't like it and I won't ever like it. It's not that I hate them. They just have their own preferences they want me to follow but I am against it. I want to do things my way like I want to cook the way I want without them dictating what to do next.
In short, it's not easy to live, to move freely with the eyes looking at every step you make.
This is just my situation and I know not all who live with in-laws are unhappy. There are still a lot who live well with the in-laws and I am happy for them.
But for me, it's way better to separate to have privacy and build your home your way.
Thank you so much guys for reading! You've been so kind to me since day one.
Thank you so much again for your time! To my generous sponsors, upvoters and to those who comment, I am sending you my warmest gratitude! Let's talk and get to know each other well.

Someone should not impose anything on others. But I don't know what to comment here. Every family wants their son's wife to keep pace with their ideology but they forget their son's wife a personality. They forget their son is not married yet. I have a question for you, is it fair to take something in front of the child that he is not allowed to take?
