MOTHER UHHAPPY AS SHE ONLY RECEIVED ONLY 1 ANG BAO INSTEAD OF 2

Married couple give mum 1 or 2 angbao?

Ever since we got married, my husband and I gave my mum 1 angbao for CNY. I mean as a couple, 1 angbao should be correct? But hell no. My mum was not happy about it and didn’t mention anything to me. Until my elder sis got married, she told my elder sis CNY must give her 2 angbao, 1 by daughter, 1 by son-in-law. “Don’t be like your younger sis, only give me 1 angbao, by right couple should give me 2”, she said it to my elder sis behind my back.

Message then got disseminated to me and of course I am furious. Come on, if you want 2 you tell me la? Need to be like this meh? I know my angbao amount not as big as elder sis (cos she earns more than me), also no need to be like this right? I’m married for coming 5 years and you did not even tell me about it. If you just want more money, just say it. (Before this I’m already on bad books for giving her lesser money compared to elder sis). My mum will give me cold shoulder on whatsapp and in person. But when there’s other people ard, she will act normal.

For this year, I gave her 1 angbao, my hubby gave her one. She gives me a feeling of, 1 or 2 also doesn’t matter since my angbao is not more than $100 kind. Not very interested to receive angbao also.

Never give kaobei, give already not appreciative, so exactly what should be the way?

Here are what netizens think:

• If single angpow was $200, she wants 2 just give her 2x$100 will do, all it cost is just another red packet only

• Does your mum give you and your husband angbao each? If so, then maybe she was thinking she gave out 2 angbaos so she want to receive 2 angbaos back.. so nxt time u split 2 angbaos to her, if she not happy not appreciative, forget it.. u have done your part.. anyway not staying together, less friction, no see no pain. Just give whatever amt you can.. you have your own commitment too.. sayang sayang…

• Just keep giving the same amount you want to give. Whether she appreciate or not doesn’t matter you done your part. If she continues to complain about you can even don’t give
