What’s with this tradition and how did it come about?. A pregnant woman (living with in-laws) who is about to getting ready to give birth goes to her parents’ house for a few months. The reason given is that she will be better taken care there.
Is that really true?. or maybe because in her last few weeks, she has become more of a liability on the in-laws and not physically fit enough to do the regular household chores. So, since she is of no good, let’s send her back to her parents until she delivers and comes back with a baby in her lap.
Why can’t the in-laws take care of her?.
This is primarily an Indian tradition. But I have heard some Pakistanis follow it as well.
My sister is no where near delivery, but we are planning on bringing her home few months prior to her delivery. It has nothing to do with in-laws not wanting to take care of her. That's just what everyone does in our family, but only for the first child though.
That explains why so many couples with large families…. She goes Paykay every time she is pregnant…he stays home, and gets sexually frustrated, as soon as she comes back…non-stop humping begins.. same cycle of life continues.
Madhanee, the tangent twist to the topic is fully appreciated. I didn't think of 'the him factor'. You are right. Since she is not doable for a couple of months, let's send her back. She is only good for that and house chores.
Fungo, your are right. These morons needs to be taught creative ways. I mean, I have always been the kind that believed that going to labor can wait. A man’s gotta do what a man’s gotta do.

^ I've never heard of a desi guy going into the delivery room. Is that changing now? Are they venturing in there?

That would be a good question to ask the GS guys, see if they would be in the delivery room?
I was inside for our first. It was a religious experience – my wife is very simple and didn’t want any photos taken, even though I had my camera all ready and set to go. …our second was a caesarean so I wasn’t allowed in the room.
I've heard that women go totally bezerk in labor. They scream and shout out obscenities too. Well, what better audience than a dear hubby who is all so used to it anyway.
