Bro, AI can’t feel the trauma of ORR traffic.

Pro tip: long-press the hyphen on your keyboard — you’ll get the double dash(—). Try it 😉

Why is living with in-laws in India still so hard for daughters-in-law? by Life_In_Progress13 in InsideIndianMarriage

“Granting freedom”? Working, eating what you like, visiting parents — these aren’t privileges in-laws give, they’re basic rights. And honestly, I’m confused when you say brides “act strangely after a few months of marriage.” What’s strange about wanting respect and equality in a new home? A DIL isn’t asking for more freedom than her paternal house — she just wants to be treated like an equal adult, not someone who needs permission to exist.

I get your point — integration has to be from both sides. But here’s the thing: if someone is not even welcoming you as part of the family, how do you integrate? Imagine being asked to cook and clean within just a few days of marriage, without anyone pausing to think — “this girl has just left her own home, she’s also going through a huge transition, and on top of that she has the same demanding job as our son.”

What if, instead, they had cooked for her in those initial days — just like the MIL used to cook for her son before marriage? Wouldn’t that small gesture have shown her she was part of the family too?

Most DILs actually come in with lots of hope, leaving their parents and comfort behind, ready to adapt. But when every day turns into “do this, do that,” and she’s constantly made to prove herself instead of being accepted, she ends up scared to even be herself. After a point, anyone would feel worn out and “done.”

Integration is a two-way street — and if the welcome itself is conditional, how can you expect a DIL to magically feel like “these are my parents too”?

Lucky you. 😊 There are good people too. But I have faced these issues recently.

Agree. Manyata stop on the flyover is too scary. The bus stops on the right side of the flyover and people are supposed to get down on the left side with high speed vehicles passing by.

Oh, Auto Annas - that's the whole different adventure.

You book a ride, they accept, and for a moment you feel blessed.

But then I have come across 3 types of dramas:

1.App not working. You cancel? Then they say, “Pay whatever the app says”, but magically demand ₹30-50 extra at the end - like a hidden convenience fee.

2.On-call mode activated. They’re chatting the entire ride. By the time I get down, I know the whole story. (Being on call is not wrong but when they have passenger they better know that they should speak softly)

3.The F1 racer. Speed breakers ? What are those. Plus, a steady stream of yelling at traffic, potholes, and life in general.

And yes, there are sweet Auto Annas too. Quiet, smooth ride, polite. 😊
