-Paheli: I’ve taken care of the house by myself for about a month when my in-laws left. If given the chance I can take complete responsibility of the house. Also, our first talk on the phone EVER after baat pakki was about me asking to live in a separate accomodation but close to this parents. He had agreed at the time Things change after. But he’s still an amazing husband alhumdulillah.

What time do you leave the house in the morning and what time do you get home? And you work 5 days/week I assume?

I’m not saying that you’re not capable of taking responsibility for the entire house. I’m trying to figure out how you will have time to cook or do anything else in a separate home if you’re soooo busy right now due to your job. If you can find time to take care of the ENTIRE house…surely you can fine more time to spend with your MIL and even your own mother.

Other than just sitting with her…why don’t you actually do some activity so there is stuff to talk about. Have you ever asked her to teach you some of HER recipes? What about going shopping with her during the weekend? Or even watching a movie/TV show with her? When your husband says that he never wants to live without his parents…have you mentioned to him that before the nikah this was a condition he agreed to?

And you still haven’t answered…are you not allowed to cook/eat whatever you want in the home?
