Parents of Schoolgoers  Discussion Forum

I stay in US, working and a mother of 1.3 yrs old.
My MIL is here for 4 months to take care of my son. We get along OK. My MIL is not very happy to be with us for baby-sitting tho she was always loud-mouth abt visiting US(son's house) with her hubby. While here when we visit friends she has her story of how she gets bored(which is perfectly understandable), how she's worried of her husband and married daughter cooking back in India. But the same woman is not concerned how my parents or brother manage when either of them is here or in India. Why are the guys parents always so self-centered and selfish?? She has plans how we would move to India and be a happy family(??). I have told my hubby that I would be staying here and not going back bcos I know his parents would eventually come and stay with us giving one reason or the other. Staying for few months is ok but always is a no-no. We have more differences than things in common. anyone in similar situation? Mahima replied. I am facing the same situation. My in laws are also trying to brainwash my hubby to back to India to be a \";happy Family\"; I get so nervous thinking about what life would be back home. I try to talk to my husband but he feels I am trying to keep him away from his parents. They are here right now so I am going through a miserable time. I will keep you updated tell me about you too. bhopali replied. Stick to your guns !! There is no need to ut up with ANY behaviour that is offensive to you , of your in-laws !! I managed to have my MIL move out of our house for good ( till she is too sick to take care of her self..we will deal with that situation then ) Manish replied. take my advice and stick on in the US. Dont return. you are right. before you know it your in-laws will move in with u. it may be strange saying this, being a man, but my wife had a very difficult time with my parents and living separately was the best decision we ever made. you are already separate. dont make the mistake of returning. u already are a happy family with your husband and child.
