thats a good Q...I've thought about this a few times also since my hubby buys me a lot of gift here (in US) but there is some hesitation from his side to buy me clothes or jewellery as gifts in India...he generally wants his mom to go shopping with us or hez like US me le lo...dont know why....or even if we buy anything we have to show everything to mom...it really doesnt bother me that much but now that u bought it up I'm also thinking....
the same happens with me...i have to show everything to my MIL whatever i bought..i don't know the reason, i was told by my mom to do it and i did it.......but my husband never asked me to do it..he toh says ke you buy anything you like , if it's expensive, just take the money and buy it, don't tell mom 😆 bec. there are a few things i don't want my family to know...he says that he wants to keep our children's future secure n he has to do a few things keeping his parents in dark...
nyways, i too didn't like a lot of things which were selected for me by my MIL at the time of marriage....i took all of them and didn't let her know tht i didn't like this or that...what's the problem in wearing a saaree which I don't like and SHE likes? 😕 i can wear it once in a while or not wear it if i don't like it..therez no sach jhooth or honesty thingy involved
