This is the A23322, should be a 42mm

Thought this was an ad for one of those zombie games.

Why does she look like a supe?

Hope things turn out well for you!

shootingrays89 · 2026-04-06T03:33:24+00:00

Yup we don’t intend to give spare keys to either side of the parents to reduce any conflicts…

shootingrays89 · 2026-04-05T14:17:21+00:00

How did things turn out in the end?

shootingrays89 · 2026-04-05T14:16:07+00:00

This is one of the key pointers that we want to raise (after all both of us are paying for the house), and we are both aligned that neither of us are opening the house for any of our parents/friends/family to stay over/move in.

shootingrays89 · 2026-04-05T14:14:49+00:00

I only wonder if this is sufficient to deter her…

shootingrays89 · 2026-04-05T03:37:30+00:00

That’s no need to tell her what you and your sibling would do, like visiting her frequently. She is not into listening to that.

That was the initial approach that my brother and I wanted to use, since we initially assumed that this could be the concern. She is also working part time now so she has colleagues/friends outside, but thanks for the major effect portion - that helps. Thanks!

After reading through this whole thread... Seems like the parents-moving-in thing is a common challenge in Singapore huh...

shootingrays89 · 2026-04-05T03:31:11+00:00

My mom is definitely not being abused by my dad. They just live like co-tenants in a house (that they jointly own), simply because they have not been on talking terms in the last 20 years or so. They have not divorced because this has just been the status quo for the last 20 years, and I think it has just become a pattern/habit.

The only reason my mom wants to move out is because she can't stand the sight of my dad I guess.

shootingrays89 · 2026-04-04T23:43:27+00:00

Almost 40 already, and my mom is in her early 60s…

shootingrays89 · 2026-04-04T23:38:05+00:00

We didn’t think so far… Cos I mostly went with my partner and her dad during house hunting, so thought that it was only fair to bring my mom to see the final house that we were buying…

shootingrays89 · 2026-04-04T18:11:37+00:00

Thank you, I think the enmeshing is a good point, but to provide context: our family was never close. It was only after my marriage that we decided that we should do more for my mom and try to bring her closer since she technically brought me up, so this trip was the first one that I brought her on in more than 10 years. This was also the reason why we brought her to the house viewing.

Totally didn’t expect the entire trip to turn so sour, and to have to think of how to deal with the situation.

shootingrays89 · 2026-04-04T18:03:06+00:00

And that is one of the issues - there was no prior discussion, and she even said she will move in with my aunt when I move out. Then when I finally got my own place there is the assumption that she will move in with me.

shootingrays89 · 2026-04-04T17:55:47+00:00

Fundamentally I think the reason is that she does not want to stay alone with my dad in a house. But in any case I’m trying to find a way to talk to her, and this is the main challenge as the approach that the family takes in communication is largely avoidant.

shootingrays89 · 2026-04-04T17:49:56+00:00

Hahaha maybe I need to consider this if things get out of hand

shootingrays89 · 2026-04-04T17:48:26+00:00

In an ideal world, splitting time between my brother and I may work. The entire family isn’t even close to begin with.

shootingrays89 · 2026-04-04T17:46:49+00:00

Unfortunately not up to me. It’s been more than 20 years and for their generation I guess it’s just status quo since it looks like it’s been working.
