Is your M-I-L going to stay with you permanently in the US or is she going to go back after a few months? If she is out after a few months then just ignore her remarks. She probably does not understand that one needs to work here to make ends meet and have a better lifestyle. In India, it is different. Even today, women are not treated with respect and they are expected to be at home. You should be proud that you are a working Mom. You stand on your own feet as well as give time to your kids. I feel sad for the women who have to stay at home in India. Since they are so bored they can only gossip and chat. So don't worry and be confident that you are doing the right thing.

He is a physician and obtained his residency training. I worked to earn for our family for two years until he got his job. Then he applied for his parents to visit us on a visiting visa. We were both wo... - Tina Shah [View Message]

RE:self centered inlaws

I agree they have completely double standards as I recently found out. I saw my husbands childhood photos when he was young. His parents claim they sacrificed everything for their kids and lived poor and behave like martyr parents. Got treated as free domestic servant. But the photos showed them dressed like Bollywood stars with watches and jewellery enjoying their life. O... - Tina [View Message]
