this is just ridiculous! her askin u to get out!! such an insecure woman really! honestly and THANKFULLY, my in laws are not here… me and hubby alone but hubby jee ka bas chale toh apne amma abba ko bhi bula lein. we go to pak every yr and since they dun have a car, we dun face this prb… anyway abhi tak toh yehi howa hai ke whenever we go we 3 sit in the back seat and not necessarily he’s in middle, sometimes his mom is in the corner too… alot of ppl, esp men here are sayin u r makin a big deal out of it.. i agree and disagree too.. cus even i am like u. small things depress me like ANYTHING!!! but on the other hand, its no big deal u know. i bet every typical paki guy wud want u to sit back and his mom shud b in front… these men can never change! but respect apni jaga… i dun think its a MUST that each time she shud sit there! kabhi kabhi theek hia but yeh habit bana rahi hia MIL, then its a bit too freaky!!! In a nutshell, please strt going out alone with ur hubby in car sometimes… u deserve it… hes ur hubby. I just can believe there cud b a MIL who goes even to the supermarket and dusnt leave hubb and wife alone for even small things! sheesh!!
