you are right..in fact my mother in law expects me to be like archana and my husband wants me stadnign up for myself even against his mother if she is wrong or if i am disrespected..i mean i dont talk back or anything or am a mean person but i will stand up if she picks on me so much or if she does not give me respect u know...and she even rubs it in my face oh how archana is soooooo good and bla bla bla...

we live with her and i dont mind living with them because its our duty to take care of parents at this age..but it does not mean i will tolerate her picking on my housekeeping or if she is "angry" at me cuz i don't spend the whole day with her u know..i mean i work on the weekdays and sometimes would like to go in my room and have some quiet time u know privacy to do research or read books..and on weekends she expects me to sit with her the whole day while she watches her indian saas-bahu nataks...and actuall i do sit with her at times and watch just to give her company thts how i know about PR...but i cannot spend my whole saturday and sunday watching desi nataks...

but its just so sickening how these zee tv nataks potray womena nd then they have to be so "mahan"

@ xxhiyaxx :
You give us an interesting perspective because not many of us commenting here actually have to put up with a mother in law's criticism, or even have to live with mothers in law on a full time basis. The dynamic you describe - watching these shows somewhat unwillingly with your own saasu - makes for fascinating analysis by itself. I simply love your phrase desi nataks, for indeed that is what they are, desi because they purport to represent "true/good Indian culture" and nataks because they are so unapologetically nataki and melodramatic. It must be challenging to have to balance one's awareness of duties towards old in-laws with the continuous daily pressures involved in actually fulfilling those duties. Luckily your husband sounds mature and balanced about all this. Good luck and God Bless! And don't you ever stop reading in your room.😊
