thx dear. some ppl never understand. i find this extremely rude to be compared with other bahu in the family.. its like i was a bad omen on the family becus of the fire in the house… fine, so maybe i was and am a bad omen in her son’s life but makin me feel so miserable by comparing was not necessary at all. i cant even begin to explain just how badly hurt i m by her comments. Allah knows how it hurt my soul.

Just trying to lighten the mood,

But…the next time your MIL brings up the “fire” and your “unlucky kadam”.

Just jokingly tell your MIL…**"**Ammi, the fire took place in YOUR home…that YOU live in…that YOU bought. Gosh Ammi, YOU have such unlucky kadam. I’m such a LUCKY BAHU that I didn’t get burned by the fire in your unlucky home. Tut tut tut…hai hai hai…chi chi chi…is this some way to for a hostess to welcome a new guest in her home?"

Just turn the situation around on her, LOL. Give her the guilt trip.

Or here’s another idea: Make your MIL feel inadequate by telling her “It’s routine procedure for people to take precautions to make sure that their homes don’t catch fire. Every responsible parent does that. Actually every responsible HOSTESS takes precautions to ensure safety of GUESTS.”

Who knows? She probably feels embarrassed by the fire taking place during the wedding and wants someone to blame so that she herself doesn’t look bad as a hostess.

It’s all in good humor, Mall. I was just kidding about the above strategies. Your kadams are miles away from her on the other side of the world…can’t get any luckier than that Be grateful!
