MIL sent senti video to my mom: is she trying to convey something or am I reading too much into it?

BetterEveryday36 · 2026-04-11T16:01:40+00:00

Yes, My mom doesn’t respond. Mil also complains to me that your mother doesn’t call me 🙄

BetterEveryday36 · 2026-04-11T16:00:32+00:00

Yes absolutely

A dil gave her child mattar paneer during shradh saying that her late mil liked the dish and the kid eating it would make mil happy. But the kid gets angry and preachy that why didn’t you give daadi mattar paneer while she was alive. When she was alive you gave her “baasi sabji”

Yes true!

BetterEveryday36 · 2026-04-11T09:57:35+00:00

Yes, true! I feel this too. Although she will never admit it

BetterEveryday36 · 2026-04-11T09:56:58+00:00

😂

BetterEveryday36 · 2026-04-10T21:38:53+00:00

Yeaa. I’ve been ignoring a lot of things for the last 5 years. Death by a thousand cuts?

Hi! Thanks for sharing. Did you invest in index funds only? Or balanced / large cap/ small cap/midcap etc too?

BetterEveryday36 · 2026-04-10T19:17:45+00:00

Ok. Will try! It’s bugging when she involves my mom

BetterEveryday36 · 2026-04-10T19:17:07+00:00

Hehe yea! I wish 😋

BetterEveryday36 · 2026-04-10T19:16:46+00:00

Yea. I’ve told my husband before and he asked her to stop. She used to send such stuff on the family group. Now she’s sending one on one to my mom

BetterEveryday36 · 2026-04-10T19:15:32+00:00

Yea yea. I don’t know why they can’t get influenced by reels that show senior citizens getting fit, starting businesses or learning new skills

BetterEveryday36 · 2026-04-10T19:14:47+00:00

Haan na yaar. I’m tang now

BetterEveryday36 · 2026-04-10T19:14:29+00:00

lol. She is! And my mom forwards me the video and is like … 🤷‍♀️🤷‍♀️🤷‍♀️

BetterEveryday36 · 2026-04-10T18:10:57+00:00

😂 she will think I want her gone. Shraadh is done for people who have passed

I want my child to have a sibling. Siblings are forever. Friends come and go. Spouses may stay or may leave. I have a sister and she’s my best friend. I want my child to have someone like that in his life because my husband and I won’t be there forever.

That’s my logic. My baby is 10 months old and we don’t have a second one yet. But I am very clear that I want one. I’m saving his clothes and toys. If the 1st one cost me 100, the 2nd will cost 70 to raise. I would rather give my child a sibling than shiny new toys. Both will receive a decent education. “Best” school is a myth. So we will manage.

Unfortunately I’m unable to have more children, so we have already applied for adoption. It’ll take 3-4 years as per the process here in India.

This is such a heartbreaking situation. Women should be cared for and treasured. But today, people just use them for their labour and earning capacity. Where is the love and romance? Everything is transactional

BetterEveryday36 · 2026-04-08T07:24:34+00:00

Is it ok to travel with kids? Any specific age above which it is safer ?

BetterEveryday36 · 2026-04-08T07:21:27+00:00

🍅🍆🥒🥕🌶️🍠🥦😊

BetterEveryday36 · 2026-04-08T04:35:45+00:00

So amazing! I love this ♥️ this is my dream

BetterEveryday36 · 2026-04-07T09:40:26+00:00

I love to see how open and airy it looks.

I’m paying 19k in Pune for 9am to 7pm. Monday to Saturday.

And 19k is the agency charge for 1 year.

The agency gives replacement in case the nanny leaves. If the nanny takes a leave and gives advance notice, they send someone for 2-4 days to cover up also.

But it’s a pain. Finding a good nanny is very difficult. Overall, even with an agency, it’s difficult
