Today I realized
We visited India for the first time as husband and wife, and it really opened my eyes to how entitled some in-laws can be. When I visited as their DIL, my MIL barely lifted a finger for me no special treatment, not even a small gift or thoughtful gesture. Meanwhile, my mom was giving my husband full-on son-in-law treatment 24/7. Even though she was exhausted, she took care of him, gifted him clothes, and packed so many things for us to bring back home
By the end of the trip, my mom was so tired she couldn’t even come to the airport to say goodbye. But my super-active, entitled MIL happily showed up at the airport to take pictures as if that was some grand gesture without even bringing a simple packet of sweets. The difference in effort was honestly eye opening. I swear, I never want to visit India with my husband again
