My POV : I’m tired of living with my in laws, honestly – I love them and respect them with all my heart and would love to be there for them when they need us. But I don’t understand why are we wasting the prime time of our lives (our late 20s, early 30s) living with my husband’s parents when they’re completely medically capable to live by their own? I’m a single daughter, I live away from my parents – does that mean that I don’t love them? Why don’t even the educated financially sound Indian men not understand basic logic? Why are men risking their marriages by directly asking the girl to move into their parent’s house instead of spending the initials years of their marriage living separately and building a strong foundation.
We’ve been married for one year and we are living with his parents and brother, they even plan on making the brother’s future wife live here with them. My MIL insists that it is her right to live with her sons because she gave birth to them meanwhile she herself didn’t live with her own MIL (husband’s grandmother) which she now states that it couldn’t happen because they had to live in TIER 1 while the in laws were in TIER 2.
How come sons become so blind that they’re not able to see the hypocrisy of their own mothers? Is this fair?
