Re: Am i in the wrong?
^ I didn’t recall reading in OP’s post that she laughs at the way they talk or mocks them. Went back and reread…again there was nothing that even implied this. The “nature of Pakistanis” remark wasn’t necessary, as it’s natural for people to be curious about a “newcomer.” She’s not used to the norms of joint family life and that’s understandable. Her mom’s reaction was a bit much…especially when they had only been there a week…as it takes time to recover from jet lag and get used to your surroundings. Mom drew more negative attention to her daughter…and it could have been handled in a more mature way. Maybe there were pre-existing tensions between OP and her mom and it all came to a head that first week in Pak. She should calmly sort things out with mom (don’t accuse mom) and that’ll make em both relax more…provided the approach is not a resentful/defensive one.
THANKYOU! for reading my post properly unlike others. Yeah I did try and smile more and did as the weeks went by make more of an effort, but still did not feel as comfortable as I should have.
