Relationship

It's a bit tough when there's a third party, for us. I already felt this greatly during our Korea trip with Mum and Ee-poh. Places he wants to go, she doesn't want. Foods she wants to try, he is not interested. Shops he wants to go, she went her own way. Of cos i wanted to be with everyone, enjoy every moment. But it's really tough. The pace is different. The interest is not the same. I felt like i'm being sandwiched. And, i felt this greatly during the trip, i really felt like running away, alone. Especially shopping at Dongdaemun, how much i wanted to be with mum. But hubby wanted to get his stuff and we have to rush for time cos every place we went is only having about only half an hour. I have to tell mum: "u go on ur own and we meet here, we gotta rush to get some stuff". In fact, she very much wanted to follow us but Ee-poh's dragging her too slow. Hence, this trip to Beijing, mum object we invite Ee-poh along. She's too old and naggy :p

We always left the 2 folks behind on their own. Time is precious with package tour, we cannot afford to take our own sweet time strolling, waiting for Ee-poh especially, she is 80 yrs old. But the time spent together, it's a pleasure and treasure. But then again, u'll want to see more, enjoy more, explore as much as u can. How huh? U can't have both sides of the world.

I can't imagine this trip going with 2 mothers. Both are stubborn and has their own thoughts. How are we gonna split ourselves? I'm gonna lose my darling half of the time. Is it gonna be enjoyable or torture?

We went JB yesterday. Suppose to have lunch at the restaurant we held our wedding dinner. But mum changed her mind saying the chef has changed, dishes not as nice anymore. Suggesting we went to Beijing court which is 15mins further. Hubby was already not happy with the change of plan and he was getting real hungry. A hungry man is an angry man! This applies to hubby. He was getting very impatient. In fact, i was the one who delay the lunch lah. Went to do hair treatment mah, reach home around 12.45pm. By the time we reach restaurant was 1.30pm, yet full house. We have to move on to coffee shop nearby and that took another 10mins. During the journey, it was 'i dunno how to explain the feeling'. Just can't understand, and really felt everything was wrong. I didn't like it at all.

Though ya, mum & aunt had lunch. But it's not that they were being inconsiderate to us. That's wat hubby thought they are. He complained this over dinner. And, i'm not happy he felt it this way. ok, probably i shud think in his shoes, and be more sensitive. But, i detest the kind of 'a little' hostile and impatient. We are not going anywhere else but looking for a food center. Just because change of plan, the 2nd option full house, spending another 10mins. looking for coffeeshop........

My mum is a straight-forward person. I'm sure she thought nothing of it. She's independent, always on her own decision. But if we insist, she'll sure follow suit. just because yesterday i agreed and there were no protest from anyone. Frankly, i like shopping with her, she knows quality. but of cos with hubby as well cos we're perfect couple shopper. Unlike the empress, but well, so long as she dun throw temper... i'm fine.

2 of us, i can endure, i can tolerate, i can accomodate. But with a third party..... tough tough tough! I felt sandwiched, i felt running away, probably i can't handle 'multiple-relation'! Pisces?
