I can't seem to understand why his mum wants to turn on the radio at 5 in the MORNING and turn the volume up that it can be heard miles away... EVERY DAY!!
every morning my fiance will curse and all because of this, he even put a pillow on my head, because he knows I still want to sleep, I usually wake up at 7am, everybody else in that house does. But nobody seems to want to talk to his mum about this. Irritating!
I don't know what she's doing in her room with blasting sound and I hate it, hate it very much. I think I want to buy a radio and then turn it to full volume every morning, just to let her know how it feels.

I've noticed that as people get older, they sleep shorter hours, and they wake up earlier than most people in the house. But I guess one possible reason why she turns up the volume of her radio is actually to wake all you up. They usually feel that a day is wasted if people wake up late. You might want to try talking to her but I doubt it would change things. Why not consider getting a place of your own instead.

That's just plain inconsiderate. There's two children in that house aged around 5-6 years old, sleeping just under her bedroom! And if she feel that day is wasted, people work at 8-9 am.... why would you them to wake up 3 hours earlier when the previous day/night they have been working hard and tired. People still need their rest, they are entitled to that.
I honestly don't know what's in her mind. Definitely after we're married, I want to save money and move out!!

You should when you get married. It's really not that easy sometimes living with in-laws especially if it's their house. They'd be able to do anything they want and you won't be able to do anything about it. Isn't there a way for your fiance to talk some sense into his mother?

I don't know.... maybe he doesn't want to hurt her feeling, so he just kept quite about it.

Have you done anything that would cause her to resent you being there? She seems to want to make your life as difficult and miserable as possible, as if she's trying to force you out. If neither you nor your fiance want to confront her about it, maybe you should pretend that it doesn't affect you at all. Rather than getting annoyed, you could start talking to her about what's playing on the radio instead. If she doesn't get the reaction she's looking for, she might stop.
Then again, she might not realise it's causing you angst, so talking to her is still the best option IMO.

I don't know, I don't think I have done anything at all to make her angry with me. Maybe she just like to 'torture' people.

Sometimes the elders are not considerate. Since their biological clock makes them wake up early every morning, so probably they will think that the youngs are lazy since they are still sleeping. And perhaps this is why they will do something like that. You know that the elders usually go to bed early at night, but we will sleep very late. So perhaps we shall turn on the radio in loud volume and then they will know actually this kind of behavior is quite annoying. If she is smart, then she shall realize that it is the same for her to turn on the radio in loud volume every early morning.
I love China

Exactly, she goes up to her room and 9.30 at night... while other people will only goes to bed at almost midnight. So she should know that other people needs their sleep longer than her because of that.
We don't have radio in our bedroom.... is we do, I will definitely do that.

It sounds like she has no respect for the others in the house. Five AM is way too early to have the radio on, especially if it's as loud as you say it is. If the whole family is getting irritated with the noise it's time to tell the mother, or at the very least hide the plug or batteries or something.

Hahaha... I just wish I can do that but she locks her room all the time!! Early sleeper, early riser... that's what she is, but doesn't mean everybody else should follow her. What are we going to do waking up at 5+ in the morning?? Watch TV? Talk to her? Dear God...

Hi chi2nasrin, well thats not the way to start the day, at any
time...
What I don't know is why don't someone say something to her about
the 5;am unrequested wake up call..She may or may not be aware how
annoying it makes the other people in the household,,,But the correct
thing to do is to tell her,,,That way she will know how it annoys
eveyone else...and then you will know if its on purpose or not...
Call her on it...you guys stay there how unrational can she be???...

Somestimes I think I want to left a note at her door saying please don't turn up the radio so loud in the morning... it's not like she is deaf or what.

Well, my views is try to talk this lady that slow down the volume of her radio, coz maybe when you do the same thing maybe a lot of neighbors will react, just to avoid problem.

I wish some of the neighbor will talk to her because the way I see it, "talk" is not an option in their family. I think she will only defends herself by saying what she's doing is right.

ahaha.. maybe. but you can actually do it when she is asleep not when she is listening to her own radio as loud as you are playing yours.
all i know is that for older people, they like to listen to the radio... i even got a question asking what's up with old people and the radio? haha and i would remember my mom because never a day i woke up hearing her radio opened to news. she really likes to listen to this one radio announcer. =) But in fairness to my mom.. she does not turn it on so loudly... she keeps it to her level

She's not yet 55, is that considered old? 
. If see turn to R&B channel I might not be that annoyed, but she listened to the traditional songs, folks songs and whatever weird songs. I bet all the neighbors feel the same way too about this thing.
Your mum is so considerate to other people by not turning the volume up to the highest level.

I think that's the best idea.
Buy a radio and turn it on in full volume at 3am (lols)-just kidding.
Why not try to talk with his mom- or ask you boyfriend to talk with her.:)

There's no talking about that to her, and I don't think that my fiance will talk to her also. We don't talk about things like that I guess... how I wish we can afford to move out now...

I really feel like doing that, but then I don't want to start a fight, we are not married yet, I fear that will give her mom reason to find my mistake or whatever.

how can I do that when I am living under the same roof with her. Yes, it is very annoying eventhough the neighbors don't complain I bet they curse her silently from their bed.

well there could be so many reasons,
first:maybe she wants you out and she's saying it indirectly by bothering your sleep.
second : how old is she anyway? old people tend to sleep less when she wakes up early maybe she has nothing to do and wants to listen to the radio. maybe she has hearing problems so she turns the music up.
third: maybe she wants your attention, some people at old age wants attention too, we tend to forget how they feel.
maybe you should try to talk to her and be sweet to her. maybe it is all she needs. no matter what happens she is still the mother of your fiance.

Well, if she wants me out she can directly talk about it to me. I am not staying there all the time, just when my fiance come back from work (he's working offshore) only I will sleep there.
I'm sure she hasn't reached 55yers old as she's still working and our retirement age is at 55. Maybe around 53.
Well, I can't understand what kind attention does she needs from me, she's not talking to me all the time. We don't have anything to talk about all the time, because I make sure I seldom see her to prevent any bad things or talks.
