During a dawat - this woman kept was praising what an awesome guy her father was.
I kid you not - her husband rolled his eyes and walked out of the conversation.
It seemed so silly to me but I recall several aunties giving these lovely piece of wisdoms to gals. "Don't talk or over praise your parents or family in front of your spouse"
I find it bizarre.
have you come across this behavior?
This is ridiculous. Is it desi women whom you heard giving such pearls of wisdom? Like we don't have enough crazy notions in our culture, lol. I wonder if the women who suggested this advice would find that it's okay for young women to over-praise their in-laws as opposed to their own parents?
I believe too much of anything.....including praise......can be harmful. Sometimes it gets to the other person's head. Other times, it leads to unrealistic expectations. But, in moderation, it's fine. Although, that's a subjective issue. Any guy/in-laws who become irritated when the bahu/wife praises her parents are HELLA insecure.
