Daughter-in-law

[sn0wny]

A little joke keke

It is a myth that when a son gets married and a new daughter in law arrives in the family, everything changes. Some daughters in law are well trained and well mannered!!!!!. They don't come to change the family, they are there to............ read the following:



The new wife (progressive Indian woman of today) was being welcomed at the husband's home in a traditional manner.
As expected she gave a speech:
" My dear family, I thank you for welcoming me in my new home and family", she said "Firstly, my being here does not mean that I would want to change your way of life, your routine."
"No, I will never do that, never in a million years".
"What do you mean my child?" Asked the father in law.
"What I mean, dad, is (looking at her father in law):
Those who used to wash dishes must carry on washing them.
Those who used to do the laundry must carry on doing it.
Those who cooked shouldn't stop at my account, and Those who used to Clean should continue cleaning".
"Then what are you here for?" Asked the mother in law.
"As for me, I'm here just to entertain your son!"

I live with the family! so we try to be polite all the time. I continue working so that my providing a small way will help lessen quarrels.

If i am around & not sick in bed - i will help cook dinner - I wash my own underwear only & make sure that my room is tidy.

I feel like i am essentially my husband's room-mate, nurse & play-mate. i go out with her when i can so that i can buy her things, when i say i am heaty she will make cooling drinks for the whole family.

She calls me when she cannot reach her son but only when she has something important to say & will pull me aside if i left anything unsightly in the toilet or in the room. She tells me when the maid complain about anything about me to check with me if its true & I tell her when ever the maid was good or bad.

DIL to be reporting in. Hmm.. haven't moved in but am already like part of their family. Actually i think my MIL is the one who doesn't want anything to be changed.. basically because she thinks I can't compare to her daughter whom she married out and because she knows we will move out to our new flat in a few years' time. Well.. the first reason is definitely very saddening to me, but i am also glad that on the other hand, i am not expected to do much.. except for like what the story says - to entertain her son (and perhaps give her grandchildren).

I do agree with what Vit_C says. need to be polite still. no matter what, they will never accept DILs as their own pple,.. even if they insist and say so. You have to think in their shoes ***. I think it is easier for me to treat her like my employer... no bad meanings associated - except that i need to address my likes/dislikes with her and openly state what i have done/not done to prevent any miscommunications. Also, last but not least, have darn clear boundaries!
