Well, no thank you nor a hamper for CNY from XW. Hmm...didn't expect either one anyway.
Interestingly, I'm not avoiding XW but she's avoiding me now.
The kids and I played a game where D5 will name all her closest relatives. There's papa and that's me. She went on to name relatives from XW's side of the family and finally ends with mummy. No mention of OM. Come to think of it, she don't mention him at all to me unlike D4. I shifted the game to name my side of the family but she refuses and said 'only mummy's family'. Hmm...we've played other versions of the game before but she's never reluctant to mention my family members.
Makes me wonder what is going on while I'm not around. It could be something or it could be nothing.

Planet, just repeat to yourself, "Isn't that interesting?"
Ok. Isn't that interesting.

The streets are decorated in red. People are setting off firecrackers like there's no tomorrow. Red lanterns. Red clothing. Red and more red everywhere.
I wonder if I'll receive any red packets this year since I'm D and thus eligible once again! Haha.
Happy Lunar New Year folks! May this year brings joy and prosperity to you and your family in abundance.

Let me give up the need to know why things happen as they do. I will never know and constant wondering is constant suffering. Caroline Myss
I gave my kids red packets from myself and my parents on the 1st day of the new year. I wanted them to call my parents to to thank them and also to greet them in traditional wishes.
D4 then blurted out that she can't. It seems that they aren't allowed to even speak to my parents. I just couldn't believe they are warned this way. I can't believe the vindictiveness of XW. I can't imagine what other thoughts and words regarding myself are being indirectly or directly implied.
Other than that, we had a good outing. Waited for the lion dance performance which D4 reminded me that she wants to see over and over again. Got a call from XW later and got the normal spew that D4 doesn't like lion dance, that I hurt D4's fingers during a previous performance touching the lions's furs and that D4 needs her nap. I think the call was to check if my parents were there! The ridiculousness of her argument doesn't surprise me anymore. I just let it go.
Looks like XW is still resentful. My dad gave her a red packet which doesn't seem to have any effect on her. I guess nothing will make her change her stance even a little.
