Not sure if I see it so much with desi families. They typically have this attitude of - ok, you're now having babies so stop working and only sit at home with your kids. What that does to her careeer, they don't care about. But I'm sure there are some desi MIL's and FIL's who wouldn't mind babysitting.
That is so not true. I know dozens of desi families who help their working DIL. And what about when mom's leave their old hubby and live with pregnant DIL or Daughter and help her for 6 months or so. Free nanny, free maid and no gratefulness in today's generation. They think that parents are hindrance in privacy and freedom.
