[@xiaoxi20]

Love the transparent content sharing!! of challenges in life. and how it’s jovial and close to heart too. Keep doing these videos 😊

[@jnjc304]

If she mumbling/comment/complain you means she still love you, if one day she keep quiet and no emotion on her face you better be careful. Improve a little bit each day will make your wife happier. Happy wife happy life.

[@qilimercurial5116]

If she kept quiet. Just don’t care.

As a married man, this is stupid statement. Either that all your wives are narcissists

[@CalvinK-the_old_fogey]

As a happily married senior citizen, I have a tip for you - best answer to your wife “Yes dear.”

[@jbrkjferkjbekjb]

ghib you are lucky to have a good MIL who treats you courteously and in a friendly manner! most MILs are not like that!

[@ivangim1]

Hey Ghib, now that the blissful honeymoon period is finally over, remember this: Before you're married, you should have opened your eyes as big as possible. Now that you're already married, you'll need to close your eyes as small as possible. More often than not, the opposite happens in many marriages. That's where marital tensions set in. If not addressed lovingly, sayonara buddy.

[@user-fb7rf4kr5k]

Ghib is very lucky to have a gentle, supportive mother-in-law. Mine was racist, self-serving, and rude, and our international marriage broke down.

[@santacloud91]

[@scbchong6964]

MIL generally get along with son-in-law unless he is a bum and leech. But absolutely a son must not bring his mother to live under same roof with wife. Women do not get along with other women, it is a fact. Married men MUST move out and live with their wife independently.

[@weiheng1612]

Very cute MIL!

[@calvincheecs]

Disclaimer: I’m not speaking for all men but from my 35-year marriage experience.😂 Understanding the Psychology of Reasoning Between Men and Women. 1. Men tend to be less meticulous about small details, such as squeezing toothpaste in the center, leaving their dirty clothing outside the bathroom, or tossing a wet shower towel on the bed. These habits can upset our wives. 2. Men often rush to complete household chores, viewing them as tasks, while happily spending hours on their hobbies. It’s important to listen to our wives because peace will follow when we indulge in our hobbies/toys later. 3. Personally, I try to stay out of the kitchen unless I want to cook something or my help is needed. My wife and I adhere to old-school values (similar to your in-laws), and my absence in the kitchen minimizes conflicts because I see it as my wife’s territory. (However, if you have a domestic helper, it can change the dynamics.) 4. At home, the wife is always right, as she is the queen of the household. This perspective helps maintain harmony and prioritize the relationship over egos.

[@qilimercurial5116]

Don’t get married..😊😊

[@jaywong6964]

Is it not detrimental and mentally tiring to be living with one who argues over all these minor details

[@thewalk7816]

For those complaining about this being an ad, please open your eyes and look at the video, it’s clearly stated at the top left hand of the screen. 🙄 It’s getting really embarrassing that grown up adults can’t differentiate simple things and claim to be ‘misled’..

[@thewalk7816]

Cant believe I have to explain the ABCs of KZbin to an adult. ‘Includes Paid Promotion’ is ALWAYS displayed at the top left of the video every first 5 seconds of a sponsored video. 🙄 Get yourself educated.

[@hipposamadesu]

I keep my kitchen sink dry after every wash. I hang 2 towels at the sink, one for drying the dishes, the other to wipe dry the sink. Kitchen sink is the place where mold can grow rapidly. Use artificial vinegar to wipe the wall and edge around the sink, the acidity will keep the mold away without using harsh chemicals. Never use bleach on sink, they corrode the metal coating especially the tap.

[@josephtan4328]

Give n Take, never easy to bring 2 person together, like my mentor said, Happy Wife Happy Lives😊

Haha.. I just Got my Philips 9000 series too last week. Its awesome and the weight is well distributed... so easy to manouvere around in small turns and you dont feel too heavy too heavy handling it. The design and functionality of this model is the ideal that we been comparing with other models for the past 2 months. Go to any mall and check the physical item to see and feel. My wife is happier for me using this than the normal mop. More happy and helps with my lower back problem too... less stress. Kitchen is always clean fast after usage.

[@glowglitter9066]

I think I'm even more convinced to buy this model after watchg the vid and reading your review on it.

[@leewn2319]

Marriage life takes a lot of give & take. Both have strength & weaknesses, good habits / bad habits, both are from different family backgrounds & bringing up, etc. As no human is perfect, it’s best to accept each other’s imperfection and try to do your part to understand each other & try improve where habits are bad or where certain ways of doing things can be better. It’s a life long learning process, and there needs to be live & let live. May God bless & strengthen your married life.

[@user-oe5kw7do6k]

Last time, my wife and I always quarrel over little things like you and your wife. But as time goes by, we have come to accept our fate and live with our imperfections,. As the says goes, if you can't change a person, then either you break up with him/her or live with it. 😄

[@matlim]

Very interesting video! I think there are much similarities between yours and my family. Same complains. I used to argue, but after more than 15 years, I have learned to not argue back but to just do what I can. The second you argue, you lose. Let the wife win :) Second, the wet sink. I have to totally agree that you must keep it dry. I too have the same forgetfulness at times, not drying the area around the sink. Very important to keep it dry because if you don't, black mold will start to grow there. Another way is to improve ventilation by positioning a small fan to blow at the sink area for a while to ensure its generally dry. I have also DIY-installed a small KDK exhaust fan to blow out the smell and air whenever I am boiling things or air frying something. I use a Leifheit clean twist disc mop to clean the kitchen floor if it's too sticky (usually after air frying); vacuuming is good but I prefer to save that little bit more of electricity if I can. I think you are doing great so far, managing video editing and doing housework and cooking! Keep it up!

[@jasxteo]

I really really really really love the interaction between you and your mil!!!!!!!!!😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂

[@Hoehan8222]

As someone who is about to get married, the advice is gold. Going into this eyes open... 😅

[@ryanyoutube7315]

You should get the dreame ultra l10s.. link up water n drain. At least can automate some part of vacuum n mop. For me: 1. Robot cleans daily 2. I clean with handheld vacuum mop like your Phillips 9000 3. Get a cleaning lady in once a week with chores 4. Wife cleans whenever she likes. Not when she needs too.. 😂

[@lingang1587]

Use a splash proof guard for the sink

[@Paul-gj9sm]

And yes, i think clothes should be pre-soaked and let to stand for a while with detergent. imho, it will really make the clothes clean better and remove stubborn smell.

[@BlackForesterSUV]

I share the pain as well. Just keep quiet, tolerate, accept it, and move on. Else a marriage will not last even a week.

[@yoongli]

Ghib you guys are so hilarious 😂

[@1changi]

In SG, must always let wifey win. Otherwise, you get cold shoulders. She is queen. Then, you can become king. For the kitchen latch in front oft he sink, good to have a piece of drying cloth to soak all the water that was spilled over. Why get a manual vacuum cleaner when you can get a robot vacuum cleaner to do the job? You can programme it daily to clean your house when you are out. Anyway, creative marketing story line. By the way, you have yet to buy durian for your wife ......

[@hayashi62]

I cant help but keep laughing. Your mother is "ichiban"...witty and nice woman. As always wife is no 1 no matter what. In her heart she loves you dearly. You are a good husband doing house chores! 👍👍 Luv from KL....

[@goddanner]

In a relationship, there is no win lose, both are on the same side fighting for the same / future goals 😁 Like Ghib Ojisan -In Law said, 芝麻绿豆小事 all can resolve

You're learning fast Good Brother Ghib! Always think it is Better than ended-up in a Police Lock-Up , facing the Judge in a Courthouse or send to a Real Prison! So a Married Life is still managaeble! Life is Short , Be a Good Person & to Do Good Deeds to accumulate Good Merits & Wisdom for a Better Future Life , be Grateful & practice to Forgive & to Let Go of ill feelings ...

I guess Singapore culture we don't like to repeat the same mistakes or keep doing the same things after had been told. We can get tired of it and just don't bother anymore

[@Singaporeonehundred]

this made me laugh out loud. nice!

[@homeycow1628]

🤣🤣🤣Real honest funny talk!!! @Ghib - I truly believe that your wifey appreciates you helping with the household chores. Just that her standard of completion is higher ... normal as ladies are generally more particular and detailed. But you are helping out a lot and willing to help👍@Ghib - Nice unique T-shirt!

Divorce better..

[@username-xi8zh]

The trick lies in understanding two key points: 1. Everyone is right in their own context. 2. Disagreement is not about right or wrong. You might wonder how this is possible. Let me explain. Everyone has their own “internal maps,” which are simplified navigation systems for interacting with the real world. What we consider “right” aligns with our internal map. We agree with what matches this map, so when we disagree with an opinion, or someone disagrees with ours, it doesn’t necessarily mean one of us is right or wrong. It simply indicates a mismatch in our internal maps. Once we grasp this concept, we can reduce animosity when someone disagrees with us. It doesn’t mean they’re wrong or we’re wrong; it just means our internal maps aren’t aligned in that particular instance. Furious disagreements can be an opportunity to refine and update our internal maps if we choose to do so.

Ever wonder why some people prefer to be single rather than be married? I guess this is why. Not easy living together. Honeymoon period over. Lol....I know of unmarried couples who live few blocks from each other instead of together so each can retreat to their own comfort zone.

Hi.. what's the size of your grey tee shirt that u are wearing in the video? Shirt cute. Yeah! Bought the T shirt for my hubby as Christmas gift!!! 😊

[@helenteoct]

Hahaha totally relate! My hubby does the dishes and laundry. I used to get so exasperated that he didn't wash the dishes clean enough or that he left the sink area wet, doesn't clean up the stove, etc. Thankfully, after a few years, he improved. On occasions where he was short, I'll just finish up the job for him. Better still, we eat out most of the time now, so no more conflict over hubby's sloppy dishwashing!! :-)

[@ordinaryobserver897]

Try using robotic mop. You don't have to vacuum and mop anymore. The machine does it for you (although I know ad is sponsored). One less quarrel.

Haha, just saw this video recently and sorry Ghib san I'm on your wifey's side. Of course lah cannot deny you are doing more than the regular hubby but it's nice to understand your wifey's standard of cleanliness. I think for such cases it's a matter of communication. Can approach any issues as neutral as possible and with understanding, both parties will be less frustrated. We all have our own expectations and it's not fair for us to think that people should meet our expectations all the time so compromise is the key!

[@sansoo4976]

husbands no matter how they clean up it can never be the same as us

[@ms1884]

I saw that the Philips AquaTrio Cordless 9000 cost $1,110 GST inclusive. That's a lot for a vacuum cleaner but if my wife will scold me less, it might be worth it. :p

[@mamamememoo]

I bought the Airbot equivalent on Lazada and it’s cheaper so I’m thankful for something that isn’t pocket busting, but works well esp when kids vomit. Omg that’s when I am most thankful for it. Less control and possible suction isn’t as strong but still… thankful. Very thankful.

[@kezbot2]

People spend that much on a Dyson vac anyway. This one is more appealing with the mop function. Want.

[@stevechua174]

Can relate. After i wash the dishes, she will rewash it as she say not clean enough. And later on ban me from washing dishes as i take longer time, waste more water

[@gera.w]

problem is the help = more work for us…. 😂 but…. ok lah… i think this is normal 😉 I see the same thing happen between my mom and dad too. my dad never washes dishes clean enough , never mops /vacuums properly enough 😂 even me as a daughter sometimes nag my dad to please wipe the table properly coz he missed a spot 😆

[@eatdriveplay]

For a moment, I wonder if my wife is the one doing the voice over.... its the exact same complain. I bet you, every husband thought they heard their wife in the video.... lol but your wife's voice sweeter la.

Thank you for the video and sharing an aspect of your personal life! For the kitchen sink issue, just place a towel at the edge of the sink.

Hahahha. When my hubby cooks, he uses dishes and utensils worthy of 2 meals - am Im busy doing the endless washing both before and after meals. Tabao or eat out is best. 😄 Thankfully for me, he is very clean and cleans the house better than me 😀 Use constructive feedback versus nagging or scolding, works better with them. Lol, turns out its a sponsored video for the vacuum cleaner 😄🙂🙃
