"How much is this?"

Lifestyle Relationships
1

Suppose you’re visiting your inlaws wearing a designer lawn suit (for the first time in your life)…they ask you (including your FIL), “how much is this?” and because you’re fasting you can’t lie so you tell them the original price and after hearing the price your inlaws pass out. Then they show off their shopping skills boasting about their new 5 Indian blingy glitzy 90’s fashion suits they bought in that 1 lawn suit’s price.

What do you do in such situations? Do you carry on lying regardless of the roza?

I feel they wouldn't be doing such inquiries if I was earning my own money. :(

Re: “How much is this?”

Doesn’t matter what you feel like, they WILL do it. So the best thing to do is not to wear such pretty suits when going to in laws. Jeez, what have you learned in all these years of your marriage Hareemay? Tussi nak nu kaat ditta :nahi:!

Re: "How much is this?"

this first time has not come in my life yet :( so cant advice
just listen to them( dont react) and leave the place with a smile and forget what they said ...

Re: “How much is this?”

Keep them discussing, as long as my huby has no issue I remain silent and just listen n ignore these kind of stuff rather than giving excuses

Re: “How much is this?”

Hypothetical question turned into a real question? :frowning:

well, in such case, you just tell them the truth and let them give you all advices they would like. As long as you and your husband are on the same page, you shouldn’t be bothered because such is life :slight_smile: you will hear a lot of people saying bad about you. At the end of the day, it’s your life and whatever you get has your husband’s agreement in it. Should not be anybody’s problem.

Re: "How much is this?"

No worries. It's sorted. Called my sister and she suggested label that suit as "inlaws visiting suit" and wear it each time you plan to visit them.

Re: "How much is this?"

^ dts a very bad advice indeed. every time u visit with same suit then inlaws will definitely ask u or ur hubby what has she done with lot of suits we gave her or u gave her.

Re: "How much is this?"

O now i get it.. it means you can justify the price inlaws ki nazar main by wearing it again and again?

14

Re: “How much is this?”

That too but also because then they won’t have anymore questions to ask. :phati:

Re: "How much is this?"

Hareem isn't it easy to just say that your husband got it for you as a gift and you've been asking him to stop spending so much money on these things but isn't he so nice ... something along those lines

Re: "How much is this?"

Its not necessary to "react" to each and everything whether its in-laws or outlaws.

Ignoring/overlooking can do wonders and make someones life hell lot easier and happier.

Re: “How much is this?”

of course. I also call things funny and start laughing after I pay for begum’s designer suit. At that point, roney ka time tu guzer chika hota hai :slight_smile:

Re: “How much is this?”

I can just imagine my wife - looking blankly at my folks after she tells them the price of her suits … they will think she’s been taking drugs … :omg:
