Is Mrs. Kaushik unreasonable?

ABsolutely right! Unlike other MILs she is very reasonable and in fact she understands her bahus and only expects them to do their work right and ensure there is discipline.

But one thing I would like to share is that too much of it inside your own house can be difficult as this is the only place you can really open up to anyone and speak your mind openly.

She isn't a tyrant like Ambaji in RMJ, too soft and firm until the bahu gets out of hand like Amrit in RMJ, a terrible parent like Savita or an always forgiving MIL like Sulochana in PR, a misunderstanding and forgetful Pratiba in YMGGK, or one who changes her mind frequently according to the situation like Choti Ma as in Choti Bahu.
