For my wedding, my family bought expensive suits for my husbands family. well my in laws insisted that they were going to buy their own suits from pakistan where they live, and we would only pay for them. so they chose suits worth 8000 ruppees each.....and when it came to my giving suits to my family, they didnt even suggest us to choose them, but bought them themselves and they were the cheapest, my sisters were only 1000 each and were tacky looking, and my mums was probly the same....they gave 1000 each to my 2 brothers....altogether they have given 5 or 6000 to my entire family, and yet they chose their own suits for 7000 each.....im very annoyed and angry....my husband has no idea, its to do with his sister and his mum. they are nice to me, but very stingy....mum keeps moaning about the costs of wedding, and how tired she and her daughter are now, im trying my best to like her, but im ending up hating her.....i dont wish to tell my husband this, he obviously wouldnt understand. they are very stingy family, i married into my family, his dad is my mammu, mammu is also stingy, but they are well off. the clothes they bought for me are nice, however otherwise they are very kanjoos and its disgusting to see them buy expensive stuff for themselves and give cheap tack to others.....im very p*ssed off right now.before i go and take it out on my husband please calm me down......my husband mashallah is not stingy, not with me anyway. but i cant stand his mum right now. help me guys.
on the wedding day, they didnt even give any money on the rasms that you do...they gave the smallesta mount and argued for agessss about it,.im trying to be happy but these kanjoosi issues and their behaviour with others is not making me as happy as i should be. they are ok with me, my stuff is nice, but she hasnt made a big effort to get to know me, or to make me comfy or to make me feel like a daughter, shes not rude to me, but shes jsut quiet and makes small talk. they are a quiet family by nature anyway, but im new so they should make more of an effort.
His family was "being pakistani" - taking as much as they can when someone else is payin and giving as little as they can when they r paying.
Well, what's done is done, u can't change it, and u can't force the woman to shell out and get u all some better clothes. If u dwell on it, it will just wind u up no end.
Clothes don't make a marriage, a good relationship with your husband does, looks like u already got that so don't ruin it.
