Who is wrong, the MIL or the DIL

Okay ladies and ladies ( and some gentlemen who hang around here ),

After my unsuccessful attempt at trolling last friday, I have another idea for today :queen.:goodidea:

The question is, who is wrong. The MIL or the DIL.

I wish there were a forum where all the MIL hang around and we could hear nice interesting version of their side.

( Alas, no luck there. Or maybe they hang in the Non-Fiction side of this forum ?? The elder and the respected over there, never set a foot here, I wonder why)

That aside, I am reading the same stuff over and over. In-law issues (FIL, MIL, SIL, BIL)( so much that it has overflown from the In-laws forum to the Married Life forum.


But, can the left wing be always right?????

Are there any women who are in the Relationships forum, who have married kids??? At least 1?

I can understand that the women abroad might never become their MILs. But the women in India will someday have to live the life of their MILs right?


So, what I am asking is, can the MILs be ever right? Maybe there is some validity to their fears, worries, insecurities. If we decode this, maybe we have solution to all the problems which all DILs face?

 

Your answer actually makes sense. If you look at it through the same lens as bathalatha projected.

I think sometimes it better to get out of a particular scenario, generalize it and look at it from different perspective. It will show us, what we won't see when tied to a single situation.

 

I see the joint family tradition dying and as with anything, I see whatever good it had dying too.

I think you hit a thought provoking point.

Maybe its not the fault of joint/nuclear family. Maybe its the fault of stay at home moms. They take care of everything and feel important. One day, the son gets married and the importance is threatened. Whatever the family depended her for, is done by a more beautiful, energetic person, better than her.

Now the mom doesn't have anything to do and resorts to fighting for her survival.

Maybe if she was a working mom, she would still be busy with her office and the DIL will be busy with her office and everyone will learn to focus on their careers, passions and instead of nit-picking, they will enjoy the time together.

Is this a Eureka moment by me???? mg: :yes: :exactly:

 

:spin---> Spoiling my Eureka moment :drowning


But.....wouldn't the MIL be too tired coming back from work, to even care?
