Role of in-laws:Re:living with husbands parents

2000-11-21

Name: myniki I totally agree with you! This is so hypocritical. its almost like one is supposed to forget the love and security given to us for the better part of our lives when we are married. Makes me mad!
I think someone who has spent sleepless nights taking care of us does have more right than anyone else! Seems to me a lot of people still believe that parents of girls are for giving and boys parents are for receiving. Im sure not in-laws behave like out-laws but many get into a very out-dated mode w.r.t their daughter-in-laws!

I also want to serve my parents

I agree. It really makes me sad to realize that it becomes impossible to serve her parents for a girl after her marriage. How can in-laws & also husbands expect a girl to forget her parents when they themselves can't forget theirs. Its hypocrisy. My husband studied in America & I was expecting him to be understanding & sensitive towards me & my parents. But to my surprise he too expects me to just accept his father & consider him my father...How can that be possible...He says that its a son's responsibility not a daughter's to take care of his parents...The more he wants to care for his father & wants to give him all the happiness, the more I want to do things for my parents...I wish my husband was more sensitive.

How to deal with this?

I feel that my husbands parents are using their son. My husband is from India and I am from the USA. He obtained his greencard and citizenship through me after coming here. 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]
