Whenever I watch the show 'Everybody loves Raymond' and watch his mother's character and the way she interacts with her daughter in law, I always wonder if they got that character from some Paki show ..
I am not sure how much Gora people use the feeling of love to emotionally blackmail their love ones, but that is very common in our culture
LOL...........yeah that Marie and her condescending comments are pretty irritating on the show. Although some of the desi MIL stories you read in the Life forum make Meddling Marie seem like a saint, lol.
