Re: In laws complaints
Agree with your first point. I may be wrong but I detect a language barrier. I don’t think she’s trying to be princessy. I think what she meant by pampering was not that she expects to be spoiled and waited on hand and foot…but rather that she feels that her in-laws are less flexible or tolerant with her as she wasn’t their first choice for a wife for their son.
However, I disagree with your cheering for post number 4 though I’ve nothing against the poster. I may be naive but I believe that you strengthen the bond with your spouse by showing kindness to the people that are important to them. I would have more respect for my spouse if he shows kindness to the people I love (my family) even when they are being difficult. Displaying an “I don’t give a fook” attitude in front of them will only make things worse. Now…if…after doing your best by your in-laws…you decide to not to take to heart their lack of appreciation…to not let it consume you…woh theek hai.
