Re: MIL
I was having a healthy argument… … with my husband … MIL overheard and later that day gave me the “death stare” and told me “miyan ke aage se baat nahi karte!!” .. I was like whoa ok ji cholly 
Re: MIL
haha the MILs on TV have all been pretty harsh to the daughter-in-laws. I’d be mentally prepared for such confrontations. But I have this requirement of wanting a guy to be from a great, reasonable family. I do not want a chalaak mom-in-law. 
Re: MIL
Cupcake I think it comes with the turf. When you are living with someone, be it a friend, sibling or inlaws, there will be time where you are frustrated with each other. I lived with one of my closest friends for one year in uni and we had our differences. I live at home right now and pretty much get told off everyday for one thing or the other. The thing is you just take it as it is and move on. Other thing you have to realize is that it is expected of you that you would treat your MIL like your mom and would it have been a big deal if you mom said the same thing to you. I know with your own mom you would have said something back which in this case you can't but that is a part of growing up and it kind of sucks in the begining but you learn how to make it work and believe me people will respect you more for being patient with them.
As an unmarried guy I don't think this question was directed to me but thats just my two cents
Re: MIL
All the time coz she loves it. The issue with me is that "no one tells me off". She's the same with everyone. If I get annoyed/offended it really is my problem because I am not used to anyone telling me "off' or what to do.
Re: MIL
yes....once when we disappeared on a brief vacay to Venice......I'll never forget it......he planned a quick break and gave me almost no notice.
we left in the middle of the night and apparently he did not tell her.
you know what hit the fan when we got back.....and she gave each of us hell....him for not informing her and me for not seeking her permission.
ultimately she was right to be upset.
Re: MIL
Some of the MILs sound intense. My mom is very easy going. In fact, I’m much more likely to be the pain in the ass (no pun intended 
) than my mom.
MIL
Lol funniest thing was I was indirectly told off. I heard her telling off my husband because of me. And then my husband came upstairs and said she wanted to speak to me. When she actually came round and spoke to me she didn't even shout at me. She just spoke really timidly to me!
Re: MIL
I whole eheartedly agree with libranrulz
also, put them in your parents position and see how you would feel or deal with the "telling off", if it was your parents telling you off. Would you just be as offended or upset? how would you handle the situation?
i get told off more from my mum than from my MIL. Yes, it feels odd at times.... but its generally more out of concern than to actually put me down. As a parent, she tells me to take care of myself more, work less, get rest and all that.... sometimes it gets all a bit too much... but, at the end of the day, they are only worried for you and want you safe... its out of love.

Informing is one thing but "permission"??? Its one thing if her son (grown one at that) is asking permission but you don't really need her permission to do things, morally or Islamically. That said, informing is important so your family doesn't worry about what happened to you!

it has nothing to do with islam .. its common courtesy that you extend to your elders.
Re: MIL

yes.
as a "grown" woman if I were living in the same space as my mother, I would have asked her permission too.....albeit only for courtesy......the same applied to MIL.
