Why does everyone insist on replacing parents with others? I don’t agree with this at all! Everyone has their place and respect. No one can take my parents’ place. I am greatly offended when someone tells me, “aaj se yehi tumhare maa baap hain” or “inhain apna maa baap hi samjho” or “yeh tumhare maa baap ki jagah hain”.

What’s your opinion?

I’ve never heard “maa baap ki jagah hain”. It’s been more “maa baap ki taraah hain” (like your parents). I have a problem with the first because no one and nothing can replace my parents. The second, I actually like because it means I have a second set of people who care about me and treat me like a daughter. But again, it depends on the kind of in-laws you’ve got. I lucked out, alhamdolillah.
