Mother in law knows best?

LOL…VERY rarely is it the saas’s intention to better the sweet little daughter in law who is stealing away her pyara sa bacha.

…They know how to soften the blow - IF they wanted to. They know what will offend. They know how to talk to people because in their lifetime and even during the rishta process…they have to use and call on their social skills to appear nice and approachable. They have had MILs of their own and have lived in joint family systems. They’ve dealt with all of the same pressures they’re giving another woman.

Yet they still choose to act like a saas…but expect their DIL to act like their beti.

So, in short, sincerity can never be expected from MILs? Would you girls be all the same when you have DILs?

Nothing personal, just curious about this beautiful social construct.
