Re: weird Q but
well i have not experienced the aroma of joint family because right after marriage i came out of my in-laws ..so being here i was and am the only in-charge doing everything..but when i go back to my in-laws on annual holidays:D ..i find that the main cooking is in my MIL's hands ..me and my devrani just do some sort of oopur ka kaam..setting the table,making the salad,putting things infront of the guests..MIL is such a sweet person..never let anyone make the tea even..she does everything by herself...i do try to wash some dishes out..but she also never let me do that even...but still i do.most of the time me and my devrani are talking in the kitchen with MIL and trying to grab some work from her but to no avail..but after dinner i do serve kehwa which is made regularly..but the people whom i have seen living in a real big family...they do divide the work among them like
bahu # 1 -->wud do cooking and kitchen related work
bahu # 2-->wud do cleaning of home etc
bahu # 3 -->wud rest that day
so they just divide it like this so everyone wud get rest days ....
