Recently I wrote a post about ideal daughter-in law. I have to admit that I have not been able to follow the steps which I recommend for being an ideal daughter-in law.
Today my father-in law wanted me to visit my uncle’s house. I got ready and then I found out that my sister-in law is also coming with us. I suggested that he take her to another relative after she has spent some time at my uncle’s place. O my god, all hell broke out. My mother-in law started screaming like a witch. She was accusing me in unprintable terms of things that I don’t know I ever did or even thought.
All I had wanted was a quite time with my uncle and his family whom I hadn’t met since I returned from abroad. I never ask to meet them, never go to their place and call them rarely. All in this in an effort to please my in-laws. So that my in laws don’t get the idea that I like to spend more time with my maternal family and relatives than tending to my responsibilities here.
I don’t even speak much to my mother also. My father in law keeps a sharp eye on the phone bill. He takes remand of those who he feels are using the phone blatantly. I have asked my mother to phone me instead of me calling her. Or I use my cell phone when I am in the college. But I NEVER use the land line phone for making calls.
Oh! There is so much to vent. I am depressed and I want to talk to somebody. Oh! Why the hell my husband had to be in UK. He is earning, I am earning and still I can’t have a say in a small matter in this house. If I say something, that will be construed as rude and not suitable for a daughter in law.
