Ownership At Last

Blk 271D #08-549 will finally be ours! Would be going down tomorrow to pay the downpayment of SGD 20K and wait patiently until 2013 for the house keys...

Recently, feeling very helpless and regretful for entering my Advanced Diploma. Overwhelming and stressful. Not sure if I have up to passing my modules. Feel very low self-confidence in my assignments, tests and practical skills. It seems everyone in my class is also feeling the same way, even though physically everyone looks fine on the outside, but through their rants on facebook, they are stressed and overwhelmed too. Wonder if this is a normal process of the Advanced Diploma? I didn't have such strong regret while studying my Diploma years back...

Next thing that has been on my mind is my husband's relationship with my parents. He is getting more introvert these weeks due to work and study stress. In fact, he hasn't visited my parents with me for nearly 2mths now. He also verbalized he doesn't see the need to see my parents with me... I understand that in the very first place, he doesn't really like my parents and isn't comfortable with my parents but I also don't know how to persuade and make him see that it is just right for him to at least accompany me to visit my parents with me at least once a month.
I am unsure if my parents can understand that their son in law actually doesn't feel comfortable with them. I mean when with my husband around, they tend to act like this domineering figure and that makes him uncomfortable. The way my parents talk to him is like a over-bearing figure telling him or 'questioning' him and that makes him very uncomfortable as well as he dislikes the way they 'treat' him like a child.
I doubt my parents would change their way of mannerism with him as they feel it is only right as well as natural for them to behave that way they do with him.

Haiz... if both my parents and him can make do with not meeting often and my parents can accept that their son in law doesn't feel comfortable around them, life would be so much better and I need not always find excuse for him not to attend family functions or coming over to visit them with me...
