Well i have come up with another discussion topic😆 So what do u think guys can MIL ever become your mother? I would like to hear this from the married ones😉I would love to read unmarried gals views too(like me😆). And also Guys your views too matter . From SweetyG's POV i feel she respects her MIL and respects her but if she says she considers her as her mother I won't agree. But she does respects her else she won't be doing all those cleaning stuff n achar daalna for sasuma so yes she respects her but loves her as her own mother? Well I dont think so! Because if she did she won't have given that dress which her MIL brought for her to a dhobin😲I mean it's okay that u dont wear suits like that but atleast don't give that away to a dhobin. You can wear if for your sasuma whever she comes to visit you. I mean what's the deal if she wears it for once.

And her sasuma too is no less. She too is a whinning old lady who is least bothered about her DIL n granddaughter. She loves her son and grandson like mad. Good. That's normal. But why ignore your DIL n Granddaughter. I mean the moment she came to the house she was like kaan bharoing Luckyji that your wifey doesn't wants me here n all those stuffs(though luckyG knows it very well😆) I think that's wrong. I mean come on she didn't say a single word against you or your abrupt arrival. She was behaving normally even when she was insulting her infront of her son. I think that is the most nasty thing.

For me i think both MIL n DIL are at fault. Both have a different image of their MIL/DIL in mind and are completely different from one another's expectations. I mean MIL should mellow down a bit and instead of finding faults in everything that SweetyG does she should appreciate her for managing two kids n a hubby so well. And SweetyG too should understand that she is LuckyG's mother and have every right to visit her son's place anytime she wants and she has more right on LuckyG than her.

Apart from that, I think the chugli part(Sweety to Pinky) is quite normal😆Everyone does that. I have seen my aunt's do that too with my mother😆

Well said. A MIL can never be a mother, tht's coz a mother-daughter bonding is der frm d day d daughter is born nd is moulded over a period of time. Whereas in mil-dil case, both hv their own personality which hv developed by d environ tht dey hv been in. Hving said tht I should say tht every individual relationship is different. Actually in a mil-dil relationship, both hv expectations frm one another tht r quite unreasonable nd dat tends 2 lead 2 conflict. But once both hv figured out d other one, den it becomes easier coz then dey know how d other is.

In my case my mil was a very nice person, though we did hv different, infact vastly different POVs, but still she wasn't interfering kind nd also we could sort out our differences by talking nd hving our say. She passed away last year nd I truely miss her.😭

a mil can b a mother n a dil can b a daughter . its depends upon d situation n d person itself n how they take their relationship. a girl comes to her husbands home leaving her parents n her other relations n expect her mil to treat her like a daughter , wishes to see her mother in her mil . n if mil takes it in wrong way then how can poor girl open her heart to her mil n same goes for mil too.

i hv seen many MIL-DIL , who r just like mother n daughter. how difficult situation may b like but if one try then one can develop their relation as divine as mother n daughter.

I am not married yet but will say a mil can never be a mother...or at least in my case..I will never be her daughter because nobody is going to take my moms place ever no matter how nice and loving they are...a mother has their own place and mil has her own place..ur mom gives birth to u and raises u for all those years...how can somebody else just take her place because she is nice to u...the bond that a mother and kid have is unique and special...how is the relationship or niceness of a mil compare to the midnight feeds that ur mom did or the times she woke up at night when u got scared or chnaged ur diapers or worry sick abt u every second u were out the house...nobodys niceness is going to compare to that...a mil might love u but her son or daughter will always come first...if sweety had to pick pinky or her mil she would pick her sis and same with mil she would always pick lucky ji over sweety because that is her child...

And agree with u that sweety ji should stop saying that she is like her mother because she does nofeel that way...I think sweety ji feels that bebe does not like her and bebe thinks sweety ji does not like her...there is lack of communication there..except for treatment of ginny, bebe actually was not bad...I feel like sweety ji feels jealous that lucky ji and rocky love bebe so much and does not want her in her house whether it is during holiday or school time...but she needa to realize that it is her sons house and she is allowed to be there for as long as she wants and from what did understand is that she does not go there often either but only sometimes coz she knows sweety doest like her...I just felt like sweety ji is not even trying to be nice in front of her like it is just a damn suit she does not have participate in pageants in that dress...

I read the comments and I can only say that your MIL is your spouse's mother. If you expect your husband/ wife to treat you nice and if you expect your spouse to treat your parents as their own why should you not do the same from your own end? I only think that it is height of selfishness to expect something from one person and not behave in the same way. All these people saying that MIL cannot be the same as mother, just think for a second if you would treat or say the same thing to your own mom and if you did how would she react? And would you like your brother's wife doing the same thing to your mom?
In situations where we and our children need the support of the family, please realize that it is a blessing to have ones in laws or parents with you. The problems start only when you have no attachment to your inlaws and think of them as someone you need to tolerate, forgetting that you are living with that person's son or daughter.

It takes two to tango !!! If you think mentally she is my MIL not mother your actions will reflect the same.Yes some MILs want to dominate as she suffered the same dil mil when in those days actually mils were MILS!!! If you consider her as your mother and give her the same respect ,love why should she behave with you in an different way-Yes if she has a daughter she will always favour that daughter over you its natural-but dont make issue for small things-remenber if u had a bhabhi & she did the same wid you /ur mom wud u like it-no-Small adjustments are needed unfortunately people's homes and also hearts are becoming smaller day by day!!!!

i guess it depends on every individual...personally for me nobody is ever going to take my mom's place...whether it is my MIL, aunt or grandma...my mom has her own special place in my life and heart that nobody can touch...And i am sure there are many girls who feel this way...however that does not mean that you should be disrespectful or not love your MIL...she is the person who brought your spouse to this world and raised them...I would never expect my SIL to accept my mom as their mother ever...however i would want them to respect my mom and be nice to her...and just like that I would also be nice and loving towards my MIL and not show unhappiness to her coming over to our house or being involved in our or her sons life...When sweety ji said that mehman should come during holidays that was wrong because lucky ji's mom shouldnt need permission to come to her sons house...just because someone does not think of their MIL as their mother does not mean that they dont love their MIL or respect her...It just means both MIL and mom have different places in someone's heart and they are both special...but the bond that has been created between a mom and daughter since before birth can not be forced just because somebody is your MIL...and i have seen that multiple times that right after marriage the DIL is asked to refer to her MIL as mom...how does that even make sense...they barely know each other or have a relationship and she already has the status of her mother...I mean let them bond and love eachother and get to know each other and then the DIL can decide if she wants to call her MIL mom or not and it will be upon the MIL if she feels comfortable with that title or not

i agree with whoever mentioned that it takes two to tango...both DIL and MIL need to work on the relationship and same with damad and MIL...

Very nice question Choco I mean Sweety Ji 😳😆
Well acc. to me, no 😊 In fact even a father can not take a mother's place.. Forget abt a woman who comes into ur life after 20/25 yrs 😊 Nothing in this world can beat Mom-daughter relationship.. So yeah !
But yes, you can bond pretty well with your MIL too 😛 But for that, both have to be open minded and forgiving nature.. 😃 Human beings make mistakes, but those shouldnt be highlighted or made an issue 😊.. MIL should understand that it's a complete new environment for the DIL and she needs support from everyone in her in-laws house.. DIL should understand as well that it's not easy for a MIL/Mother/Home minister of a family to let go of her position so quick 😊 Any change needs time.. And if both are patient enough, then they can share a bond of friendship.. Thts it 😊
But a MIL can never be a Mother.. Cuz the main difference is a Mother loves us 'WITH' all our flaws and imperfections.. Whereas an MIL will love us 'INSPITE' of our flaws and imperfections 😊 Small difference.. Big difference 😛
