At times when we see some ladies items worth buying, I even ask her to buy extra for her siblings and mother-in-law.

hahhah bro, this is their culture and their way of doing things. I have also learnt to close one eye so as to ensure family happiness. `closing one eye' is alright as long as the things and items involved are not too many and doesn't cost too much. I was having lunch with my wife yesterday and we had a discussion about her family. My wife told me that her useless, lazy bum sister told her over the phone the other day and told her to look for a job as she heard that working in Singapore can earn much more than Vietnam. The lazy sister told my wife that my wife shouldn't help me in my business and should go look for a job, earn money and send the monthly pay home to help her and the mother. Damm.... my blood boils and i heard that. I kept my calm and asked my wife `do you think you should do that?' my wife answered `why should i do that to help my lazy sister? My mum has a lot of land, she's not poor, no need for me to do that.' it was such a relieved when i heard her answer.
