Re: Is this remotely fair?!
Damn yo, story of my life. 18 years into it though, my mother has given up hope.
I would suggest you actually sit with them and smile every so often, don't even have to talk.
But better yet is playing with the little kids, you'll be seen as the babysitter, and the ammas will love you.
Re: Is this remotely fair?!
@Mirch: You have no idea how I actually tried that. It ended up as me getting yelled at by my mother in front of onion-smelling aunties for being deep in a book and not speaking a single word to the 'young ladies'.
take ur stand and refuse to go at all costs. mom won't kidnap u. she might fuss but if u continue to do same everytime u r uncomfortable one day she'll giv up.
Re: Is this remotely fair?!
GA.... you have to make an effort to socialize..... not everyone will necessarily share your taste and interests. Otherwise you WILL come across as a snob.
I know a girl who acts this way (stuck up) around us mommies.... she's the only one amongst our group (husband ka group hai and they drag us along on their get-togethers) who doesn't have kids and was even rude enough to say to us "All you people talk about is babies and kids, itna bore kartay hain mujhe" and then proceeded to play with her iphone.... it was VERY rude IMHO. We all think she's totally stuck up and thinks she's better than us or something..... I mean if you really want to talk about other stuff, start talking about it na... instead of sitting there muun suja kar.
Sorry if this comes across as criticism, but not everyone you meet will have the same interests as you..... its polite to talk to everyone and try to mingle with them. If they didn't say Eid Mubarak... did you? You're the younger one right, so you should have just gone up to them, said hi and say Eid mubarak.... they are your bajis, no ;)?
So that's it? I don't even get to have a say anymore?
The point of my rant is that I want to stay far, far away from them. I don't want to -sit- or share my -oxygen- with them. I want my DISTANCE. But apparently my mother isn't very accepting or understanding.
