hi sirMami is an asset whereas mama is a liability for the SIL especially at the time of delivery and thereafter.However the mami many a times requires mama to do edupudi jobs like cutting vegetables,putting clothes for wash,folding and ironing clothes etc.etc.Still as for as SIL is concerned FIL is a dispensable person.FILs who plan to accompany their wives for their daughter's delivery may well understand this unless their equation with SILs is at a different level.
At times this are the equations:
mother = edupidi for daughter!
father = edupidi for mother!!
son in law = edupidi for all the three!!! :decision:
The firsr two equations are well balanced and would be well accepted by majority population.The last one will be ok in specific cases and can't be universal.At times this are the equations:mother = edupidi for daughter!father = edupidi for mother!! son in law = edupidi for all the three!!! :decision:
The father liking the son in law depends on how much the son in law takes care of the daughter! :hug:
Gents show their disinterest in a diplomatic manner. Just a gesture and or just a single statement is enough to keep each other off from each other. Men are intelligent.. :becky:
There is one type of Daughter In Law called the Smothering DIL.
One of my cousins has a wife like this..she smothers my aunt with over affection and is so gentle and soft spoken that I wonder how she manages all these.
You can find her 24/7 with Pottu and Thali when she is at my aunts house..once I asked her (she is also a doctor).
I asked her if she wears Thali and Pottu when she is working in the hospital or she only wears when she comes to see her MIL.
Then my cousin brother answered "she only wears when she comes to see her MIL..what to do otherwise my mother will nag her..when she goes back home I tell her to do as she pleases"
AFA I am concerned, such DIL's are far better to show some respect to the belief and sentiments of MIL and keep her happy rather being unmindful and sticking to her convictions every where, in front of every one, in the name of honesty, openness, liberty and confidence of a Pudhumai Penn.
(unfortunately or fortunately depending on how you look at it, MILs are family too!)
BTW what about Father In Law- Son In Law relationship?
Deep down inside I think most fathers do not really 100% like their Sons In Laws and neither do Sons In Law 100% like their FIL..it is just that there is seldom a showdown cos men just read newspaper and cover their faces if they can't tolerate each other!LOL
Dear Sangom Sir,I think at least among tabras, FILs used to have, deep down in their heart, a great amount of gratitude towards the FIL for his having come forward to (what follows is the old-world maxim) take charge of his daughter for life, even though his daughter might have hundred and one deficiencies as a woman and as a wife. ............
........I do not like the word Women's Lib..it makes it sound as if women were bound and now they are free.
A person is only bound when he/she thinks she is bound.
One does not have to be a Pudhumai Penn to be herself........
Now lets define a Pudumai Aan.
1)keeps finding fault with all females.
2)wants a door mat as a wife
3)their motto is life is Roti,Kapda aur Ladki!LOL
4)wants a wife who is "brain dead"..that is ...just follow his instructions without any questions.
5)wants a wife who will forget her parents and only care for his parents.
6)wants a wife who will cook for him all dishes his Amma cooked.
7)wants a wife who will dress traditionally but he will keep ogling at Sunny Leone online.
8)wants a wife who has not seen any male besides her father and brother.
So this is the Pudhumai Aan Ashtakam.
P.S will add the Phala Shruti later!
Dear Sangom Sir,
I read the second F I L as S I L and that is what you meant!
The S I L is supposed to be Maha Vishnu swaroopi! ray2:
