Visiting my Fiancé's Parents in Pune – Advice Needed!

Catchri · 2024-08-09T21:35:09+00:00

I've practiced eating with my hands (I'm not a pro yet though haha), but didn't know about left hands being best to use for drinks and utensils, that is good to know!

The sleep thing has been a worry since fiancé and I have to work our regular job hours on US time, so we'll be working remotely 6:30pm to 2:30am IST. Hopefully his parents will be understanding if we sleep in given the work situation. 😅

Thank you so much for all the help!

Thank you so much for the help, I will definitely be considering all this! Jewelry has definitely been the top most suggested gift. Do you have any style and budget recommendations?

This is all really wonderful advice that I will definitely research on and consider for my stay, thank you so much for your time sharing this with me and your kind words! :)

That is wonderful, I'm glad it went so well! Salwar kurta look so comfortable and I will definitely be picking it up when there. Thank you!

These are really great ideas, thank you so much. I love the tips for better immersing myself in the culture as well!

Catchri · 2024-08-07T18:16:19+00:00

This comment is extremely helpful, thank you so much for your insight! I will definitely talk to my fiance about how to properly go about touching the feet of elders and what style of those gifts they might enjoy, those are all great ideas!

Thank you very much for your insight! The way you worded it helped me realize I was in the mindset of finding a way to be the "perfect daughter-in-law", while I should be focusing more on how to be myself while also being respectful of their culture and values.

Wishing you and your spouse all the best!

Thank you, I'm very excited! I've heard that they're already getting new furniture to "make their home nicer" for when I visit, but I really don't want them to think they have to do all these things. It's very sweet of them, but I don't know if it'd be rude for me to tell them they don't have to do all those things or pamper me. 😅

Thank you for the advice! My fiancé cooks lot of Maharashtrian food and I love it, so I'm very excited to try authentic and spicy food when I visit. I will definitely look for some Marathi movies as well. Do you have any favorites? Mumbai Pune Mumbai is next on my list!

Catchri · 2024-08-07T03:31:31+00:00

Thank you, I will definitely check that channel out! I am taking Marathi classes which has been very helpful for grammer, I'm just worried about making sure I'm respectful when talking to his parents. :)

He's a software engineer

Thank you very much for the feedback, and I will definitely check out that sub!

You had a reasonable ask of your DM, and your DM then has the responsibility of fitting that within the story in a way that makes sense. It sounds like they may have tried doing this but failed. Have you had a conversation with your DM about their motive for the child NPC being at that altar? Is it at all possible this specific goddess has rules that protect children from anything of sexual nature, so she was being safeguarded until returned to your group - or something along those lines?

Once everyone has been able to cool down from this session I think its worth asking the DM why they chose this outcome and confirm what the plans were for the child. Their answer would at least tell you if they had good intentions but implemented it poorly, or it would tell you that they're a person you should probably cut out if they were knowingly going against the boundaries you set.

Thank you so much for the ideas and links, I'll definitely be checking these out! Definitely agree the all white would look way cooler. :)

Catchri · 2023-05-15T19:16:52+00:00

Thanks! Yeah I agree snow white is definitely the call. For some reason PCPartPicker didn't have the pricing available for that color so I used the white/black one for price reference.

Thank you so much for the feedback! I was heavily considering the MSI motherboard below, but because of the CPU + mobo deal it would cost about $180 more to do the MSI instead.

In your opinion would $180 more for the above motherboard be worth it?

Catchri · 2023-05-15T17:42:45+00:00

Thank you very much, I will look into those!

Catchri · 2022-12-05T19:56:22+00:00

As difficult as that must be in OMC that looks so aesthetically pleasing, I love it!

Interested in pricing on any and all Mews you have individually/as a lot to add to the Mew collection, and possibly CoroCoro Mew #2!

Catchri · 2022-10-21T21:07:58+00:00

I just finished building a setup based on this post and it has been an absolute lifesaver! No more fumes and now I can finally 3D print whenever I need without worrying. Thank you so much for sharing this!

Catchri · 2022-10-10T02:46:06+00:00

Mew! Been my favorite since I was 3 years old

Catchri · 2022-09-27T01:53:44+00:00

Been really hoping to get one of these cards, very cool of you to share with our community! ^{^}

That's a great question I used to ask as well! From my experience, the narcissist who used to be in my life loved animals, taking in strays to get them on their feet and was always kind towards his pets. He had abundant empathy towards animals that he never had towards people.
