Thanks for sharing your opinions you’ll 👍
I do respect your opinions, but m hanging here:
Slapping a DIL isn’t justified, whatever may be the circumstances. If Arpita would have left for sometime while Aru was in hospital, would N behave the same? Probably no. She would speak to her about it. Same thing. Speak to your DIL if you got any issues, slapping is downright disgraceful.
Even if N has been good very good to Imlie in past, doesn’t give the right to slap her now. Rather have a balanced thoughtful MIL than a one who is either too good or gets brainwashed in minutes. Excess of everything is bad.
If N respects BM, shouldn’t she also respect DIL the same? Is age the measure of respect a person should get? Also, the things about second marriage what BM said yesterday, wasn’t that something for N to think before their marriage? Now suddenly she buys the point that Imlie may be using Aru or may not respect her second marriage.
Even if BM knows any secret that she doesn’t want her kids to know, what kind of mother will let her kids be disgusted in the name of saving a secret? She has better way to handle if that is the case. Letting your DIL be called kachi ambiya is disgusting, even not liking Aru not saying a word against it. He said once and that’s it. IPKKND had ASR who didn’t take any shi* for Khushi after realizing his love for her. Yes, he did behave disgusting with her but never let others do it. Not anything I can think of. Here Aru is shown much stronger in personality to last ASR, but keeping quiet and letting BM talk rubbish to his wife and sister, I don’t appreciate.
N could have given cold shoulder to Imlie after the manipulation, that was acceptable. But not slapping in public.
