Hhehehe you're daddy's good lil' ah boiii
Well if being rude doesn't deter the relatives, maybe it's time to try other methods.Originally posted by laurence82:I would get into unwanted brawl with my dad if i am rude to the relatives -

I supposed it depends on the situation..... how close you and your family are to the relatives, what sort of questions they are asking etc I think if they really cross the line, you need to show them otherwise they will never learn to respect your boundaries and keep asking personal questions.Originally posted by choco B:Do rude replies work?
Or do the relatives come back for more?
*Btw, I found out the brand of my non-stick wok and frying pan. It's Circulon (http://www.circulon.com/circuloncookware.html)

No i am not a good boiOriginally posted by choco B:Hhehehe you're daddy's good lil' ah boiii

I wouldnt be outwardly rude to my relatives because they are nice, but my dad is the problem, he is a stickler for 'face' and 'manners', which i totally dont understand at all and find totally unneccessary, hence the brawls -
they come to my place and step over the line?
i may just do this...
clicky here => it's my house! and if you don't like it... -
Heheh if you can get away with it
All I'm sayin is, if one method is proven ineffective... no point re-using itOriginally posted by av98m:like.....murder? -
relatives!! hmmz anyway tare jsut gave us a good question to ask back:"when are you getting divorced"
-
try the opposite tactic.... keep bugging them to intro gals to u... bug them NON-stop everytime u see them!!Originally posted by choco B:Well if being rude doesn't deter the relatives, maybe it's time to try other methods. -
I agree you've got to put your foot down
Oooo interesting. I'm going to the store tonight will see if they carry it
I think Wanda mentioned something about "hard-anodized " cookware too.Originally posted by honeymouse:I supposed it depends on the situation..... how close you and your family are to the relatives, what sort of questions they are asking etc I think if they really cross the line, you need to show them otherwise they will never learn to respect your boundaries and keep asking personal questions.

This "manners" thing may have worked to your favour .... maybe your relatives also follow the "manners" theory, which is why they don't go overboard when grilling the youngsters Unpleasantries avoided on both sides and everyone wins.Originally posted by laurence82:No i am not a good boi

I am still quite happy with the wok & frying pan so far. They might be more expensive than other non-stick products but I think it's worth it.Originally posted by choco B:Oooo interesting. I'm going to the store tonight will see if they carry it

actually i'm kinda dying for them to ask tis... so tat they will forever shut their mouths and wont ever go thru the cycle again!Originally posted by hisoka:relatives!! hmmz anyway tare jsut gave us a good question to ask back:"when are you getting divorced" -
Not really thatOriginally posted by choco B:This "manners" thing may have worked to your favour .... maybe your relatives also follow the "manners" theory, which is why they don't go overboard when grilling the youngsters Unpleasantries avoided on both sides and everyone wins.
Like I said, everything was done of this thing called 'traditions', 'manners' and stuff, but never out of 'love and liking your relatives and friends'
Means, we have to greet our relatives, ask them to go eat during dinner, etc, not out of courtesy and because its the right thing to do, but because its the 'rules' and my dad wanted his 'face', to show people 'he taught his kids manners', something i can never and will not understand
Many a times I got into brawls with my dad, and when he was clearly wrong, he used this thing called 'filial piety', meaning children should never point out their parents' mistakes, even though its totally wrong and clearly harmful a mistake
I used to think filial piety is the way to go for society, but the harm is greater -
i'm filial enough to tell you that you are dead wrong and if you keep trying to go your dead wrong way, you will be in deep guano..
take it whatever way you want.. a useless and sycophantic child who agrees that your fart doesn't stink, or a brave upright one who respects you enough to not let you go into deep guano....
your choice...
(in words not dissimilar to this, been there, done that) -
Ic... well despite whatever your dad puts you through, hope that doesn't affect or sour your relations with your relatives

I think I can thank god my parents don't do that to me and my bro
In fact my bro is the desperate one and my mum tells him to chill it coz he is still young
We get bombared by relatives though
Once I got sick of it all and when on why a dog is better than a child
Ever since, they never asked me about "When are you having a child" again -
I need a husband.
