After my marriage the first holiday I went to was in the US with my husband and his family, since it was my first trip abroad my husband had given me a green signal to shop to my hearts content. I was working for a couple of years before the trip so I had loads of my own money to spend. I had bought individual gifts for all my husbands family including his siblings in laws who lived in the US.
Still my in laws were very upset about my shopping and constantly berated me for it. I explained to them that it was my first trip abroad, I had family and friends to pick up things for and that it was my money being spent. Still my husband was told off, for my wasting my hard earned money on trinkets and souvenirs. My husband then sat me down and explained how things work in his family and that as their daughter in law my in laws had certain expectations from me and that I needed to adhere to his families rules and regulations.
While he respected my right to shop since it was my first trip, he agreed with me that we would have a couple of days where I could shop to my hearts content since we were there for a month and the rest of the time, I should focus on sight seeing with his family and not be running from shop to shop buying things all the time.
So for the rest of the trip I did what makes his parents happy and made my husband happy, went shopping before we left and everything went well.
But when I accompany my husband on business trips, their is absolutely no shopping done... nothing takes away from the work that has to be done...
Rashi was being very selfish and self centered, she does not care about anyone but herself and her mother... She has constantly tried to sabotage Gopi, tried killing her mother in law (fire in the temple) her Aunt in law (empty pressure cooker on the stove) and is the main reason for Ahem's hatred of Gopi...
What goes around comes around... if you treat your in laws well they will treat you well too...
I have since that first trip been married for 5 years and now whenever I travel with the in laws, they take me shopping!!!
