Exactly same. My mother does share disturbing facts about them. And I can safely say that she also treats them as a in laws and not parents anymore.
But the one thing I can proudly say is that my grandfather has always treated her like his own daughter and has stayed true to his word. Even above my father. That one thing is heartwarming to see. Baaki DIL MIL everyone knows lol.
Oh I get you now. So everyone's worked up with double standards of Khuranas claiming that they treated her like a daughter. Oh no why be shocked? It's always like that! Poori society hi aisi hai.
I'll call you only Gurwati now okay?🤗
My mom doesn't even need to share those facts. I've seen it all happen before my own eyes. Ironically, while my mom and my grandma had a MIL & DIL relationship, they were still always cordial with each other. Not too friendly and not too bad either. They were always at that respectful distance. My grandpa on the other hand was a pure vamp. Pata ni kis baat ko lekar problem thi mom ke saath. 🤔 Baat baat par taane maar na aur bura keh na. 😵
The difference between Babes and my mom is that my mom never took it down silently all the time. Yes, there were some times when she let it go because she didn't want things to escalate, but there were times when she would reach her limit and blast right back at him. She's very staunch when it comes to her self-respect. She won't let anyone mistreat her for any reason. The times when she let things slide was purely for my dad because she didn't want him to stress over it. But it's not like he was blinded by the love for his father. He knew exactly the kind of man he is and the kind of things he'll put my mom through.
If in-laws want to stay as in-laws, then that's fine. But that doesn't give them the license to mistreat their DILs. That's when things get out of hand and they need to be taught a lesson. It's the same thing with the Khuranas. If they wanted to keep Babita as a DIL, fine. But that doesn't mean that they should've silently watched on as Lovely talked shit about Babes. I mean, they come from an era where a DIL's izzat is the same as their own. So is this how they maintain their reputation?
Society aisi hai doesn't mean that's how they should always be. Society needs to change and learn how to be fricking civil and respectful towards one another.
Haha, yes! 🤗
