Conversations with MIL 2

I never thought that preparing for the wedding entails so many details! I assumed that you'd only need to book the Church and the venue - and that's it! I was wrong, I was dead wrong! There are so many things to consider! Yikes!!
Since I'm Chinese - there are certain traditions that I need to follow. For one, I'd have to decide if I need to have a ting-hun (aka formal engagement) - my partner is not too keen on that, I on the otherhand - would like to do away with the ceremonies but would like to push through with the exchange of gifts. I'd like to make it as simple as possible.

But last night - when finally we announce that we'd do away with the ceremonies - future MIL interjected that: 1) My 4 sets of gifts will be given after the wedding - honestly, this sounded quite odd for me. I mean why tell me personally that the gifts will be given me after the wedding?! 2) She asked me if I'm already okay with just the 4 gifts - why the effing is she asking me about these things? I am in no position to answer! My point is - you give me whatever it is that you want, DO NOT ASK me that you need to give! You have friends you can consult with! 3) Since my family will be giving my fiance a watch - she asked if she needed to give me a watch too?! Effing gosh - what the hell?! what the effing hell!!

I was really offended that she asked me. I really am. It seems like every time she opens her mouth to discuss with me certain things - I get stressed, literally stressed out! More and more I discover that she's not what I thought she was. Honestly, I'm having low opinions of her - it's deteriorating. I swear!!

XOXO
Miss B.
