Relationships  Discussion Forum

Hi ladies

I had too much free time on my hands today and I went thru about 4 pages worth of old posts. This forum is primarily women issues ,yes, I understand that - but all I read is ILs and husband issues. I say there is nothing wrong to discuss such domestic issues here on a free internet forum , but I want to step back and think ,is that our women' s life is all about? Don' t we all have anything to talk or even whine and worry about any other things in life. Ironically my first post on this board was to whine about my MIL and I truly have stepped onto each one of your shoes. But the magnitude of my problem can be far less or different than the ones the rest post about, but with all due respect to everybody ,I suggest that we start looking at brighter things in life. Be it a salon visit, a new haircut ,a pretty dress ,your little one' s smile or coo , a joke that you read - it can be anything and feel happy that life had at least something different to offer you today.
I truly believe in women power - we are unquestionably emotionally more powerful than men any given day and we DARE. We bounce back more powerfully than ever before and we NEVER SAY DIE
Let' s put aside our IL and husband issues for a minute ,step back and think about all the good and positive that life has offered and still offering us today and take a deep breathe and pat ourselves on our backs and say what amazing creatures we are.
DILs who put with ILs and your husbands - more power to you
Women - who still haven' t had the pleasure of ILs company - more power to you
Moms - who manage LOs and ILs more power to you.

Cheers Shanthi replied. Hi Swapna,
I liked your approach.You have given a very good hints for women to be happy.I know most of the women cribe about mother in laws, husbands.it is never ending problem.if we really sit and think put your self in your motherin laws shoes ..imagine your have less education like mother in law and age, problems, attachment for son, culture she brought up..you won' t be like that??.you have given good suggestions to improve womens life and be happy. But I guess some women don' t want to be happy.Happy to complain all the time. Poonam replied. I think this form IS for discussing issues and thats why women do it here. I dont find anything wrong here. I also think its in the eyes of the person, how she takes this board.
If we had to read jokes, we would rather go to a jokes site. Salon visit, hait cut, dresses, all this looks looks petty to me and I think instead of writing about those things we should read write more serious problems or if not then try to help others in that. I do not deny that we can do other good things as well apart from issues. I dont know if you have visited the joint family board. Some females there are taking up topics other than personal issues and sharing views on that. It is like how you spend quality time with kids, idea about god or managing your work at home. I have not participated it but I appreciate it and I am sure many others like me reading that are also benifitted. People like Saheli Ritika Manee Raj are not only helping people but also discussing about other good things. I think they are making the most of that board. Why dont you have a look if not done already?
