Re: m I reading too much into it (MIL)
I am pretty sure he isn’t, but why would you go anywhere without your essenitals. If you go over to a friends house to stay over…you still take your own towels etc. Also, these things are really good and cheap in Pakitsan.

Desi clothes are super expensive in the US and hard to find good stuff…why wouldn’t you bring that from Pakistan. Also, the whole issue of MIL’s choice and your own choice comes in as well. Would you really want to have outfits that are picked my your MIL when you have a choice of getting your own.
