Some cons, lot of pros. You get a lot of help in taking care of baby and he learns communication and values greater that way. But yes, boundaries has to be drawn for personal time

It has been a blessing for me . Space has been an issue but what matters is people around who understand the concept of privacy in the limited space. Living with in laws in a full house is mostly fun less lonely and sometimes dramatic and that’s what makes life worth living.

In reply to Geetha
I always thought it to be blessing before marriage but after marriage I do understand why there is so much stigma around daughter and mother in law. my mother in law has kept her unmarried three daughters in our house. initially I thought it will be nice but after marriage when they started interfering in everything and not even allowing us to have one meal together. We two rarely go out, but if we do they call my husband within an hour saying food is ready, tea is ready, etc.
it does starts here. I am a working woman like her daughter's. But I cook for everybody in the morning in kitchen and her daughter's wake up, have tea sitting in sofa chatting with their parents and I hardly get any time to brush my teeth let alone sit and have cup of tea in peace.
My all three sister in law's are in jeans 24 by 7.. but I am not supposed to wear jeans. During my first sister in law groom searching process, they put her photos in jeans in matrimonial sites. When they don't their daughter in law to not wear jeans, how other families into whom thei daughter will get married will see her wearing jeans photos.
Her daughter's can go abroad all alone or afterarriage but they cannt stay alone in other city in India other than where we are staying. My MIL gives me lectures about girls safety for not staying in other cities. But I ask how safe are her daughter s abroad?
My MIL cried in front of eveybody that they are becoming old and not yet seen her grandparents whole her three young daughters of age 31, 28,25 are sitting right in front of her. They became old to see grandparents but not to get her 3 daughters married?
She searches for her daughter a house where there is not much responsiblilitu and sister in law's and mother in-law, but for me she tells that I should adjust with everybody.
After 8 yrs of marraige never had one day of privacy and to my agony I have done love marriage against my parents wishes. My parents agreed at the last minute but they fought for me like hell,but what do I say if you gotta go down you go down no matter.
At the age of 30, my mother in law lectures me about running out of time to conceive but she is not ready to get her daughter married at the age of 31.
3 yrs back my first sister in law married but her husband stays same city as us and every festival every other day my husband has to run to their house to give th something. Now when my second sister in law turned 31 they are seraching groom for her. her condition is that she wants only abroad grooms.. wooooow and everybody agreed to it..haha wher is the age factor now? specially with this covid pandemic going on not sure how much abroad grooms are travelling to India.. is it really marriage or just another tactic to postpone marriage.

My husband is fully in awe of his mother because she talks so politely but everything lies in the back and how she lifts her three daughters up and make my husband agree for anything they ask.

Pandemic has taken so much from so many people but for me it has given something which I never thought was possible i.e. privacy, feel at home, my fredom at home because my sister in law's have gone to their native to stay with their parents. That too those girls didn't wanted to go.. but since mother in law health was going down in lockdown of March 2020 and we cpuld not travel as we have 3 yr old so in other choice he sent them. I am enjoying my house my privacy since that day though it's not complete because the scar of those 6 yrs still remain ine and my husband and I can see all their things scattered across my house.
ture feelings.. don't cook let them also cook.. if not let them suffer.. at last they have to cook for themselves n eat bcs hungryness won't listen.. they will definitely cook n eat by themselves..
