Re: What's wrong with girls?
Dunno why the girls these days are so intolerant of their in laws. Atleast thats teh impression i get from their gossips.
They tolerate and get along with people at work place, with nosy peers, demanding bosses, prejudiced neighbourhoods, but just can't digest anything if it comes from in laws specially MIL.
And most of teh time its just minor things. Mil said something about what i wear or what i cooked blah blah. Things that can easily be passed off.
And those aunties that piss you off so often, well i have found most of them to be very good persons. All you have to do is to give them some respect. On the wards everyone despised the "female" units bcoz of demanding middle aged and elderly women. But i like working with them, coz i have found that if you respect them they will be very loyal.
I agree Iconoclast with the last paragraph. DIL's have to respect everyone in the household plus all the Inlaws family. I have been told by my parents to maintain respect for everyone i come across even though its common sense to respect everyone although MIL situation is different.
You might not know it but DILs suffer alot behind their husbands back. MIL's would only talk to the DILs one the husband is not around. How are the husbands supposed to know how much we are going through? They are only going to find out once their wives talk to them from which things can be taken forward...if we are showing the MIL's respect, then we deserve some respect back and not treated like c**p. DIL's are new to the family and have no other motive than to treat the family nicely, have respect, do what she has to do etc etc and its not fair once they get the horrible treatment from the MIL!
