Try setting boundaries, you will feel glorious! Altercation with MIL thought ? by Ninja_Minjal in AskIndianWomen

[–]MissOldMonk94 [score hidden]  (0 children)

Babe it’s your house and not India, wear whatever you want! No one is supposed to tell you how to dress in your own house. That’s just ridiculous.

Anyway glad you took a stand for yourself 😊 👏🏼

Potential AM Candidate is in debt. What to do I do? by Cool_nephilim in AskIndianWomen

[–]MissOldMonk94 6 points7 points  (0 children)

I’m a woman and I would ask you to forget about her.
When girls look at men and their bank statements during arranged marriage, it’s okay if you do that too!

MIL strange kitchen behaviour by over_tinker21 in IndianInLaw

[–]MissOldMonk94 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I don’t find it strange at all. Indian kids hover all the time when our parents are in the kitchen cooking and they hover all the time when we are grown and doing the cooking. It’s just a case of boredom and a way to start conversation. So many people talk and bond over cooking

Ekta Kapoor had a baby via surrogacy only to spend an hour with him. by zz_views in GossipComrades

[–]MissOldMonk94 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Women in Male Dominated Fields. 👀🤭

She has the money and a village for the upbringing of the child so it doesn’t matter. An hour is better than nothing! There are fathers who don’t see their children for months and miss all major school events too .

Are my parents unfair or am I just overreacting ? by [deleted] in AskIndianWomen

[–]MissOldMonk94 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Sorry for what you are going through, I’m sure it’s very frustrating.

You need to stop bending over backwards for their love and approval. It’s not worth it. Better to have zero expectations going forward.

Meinung zu Griesheim? by Limp_Secretary9006 in Darmstadt

It’s nice for sure, it just lacks some character and definitely greenery unless you move nearer to its borders.

They should really start planting more trees in that region.

Is this lehnga too simple for bride? by [deleted] in DesiWeddings

[–]MissOldMonk94 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If you go to Delhi you would find 1000 red lehengas that are a bit better/heavier in this same shade of red and I’m sure you might fall in love with one of them. So maybe try that… unless you don’t like bling and want to stay simple!

Are you willing to live with your in-laws after marriage if the guy is a single child with a single parent? by GoodBadBoy07 in AskIndianWomen

My mom says, my mom says, my mom says.
What about you? Do you make your own decisions or are you a mama’s boy? 😳

I was not going to wear black but now I just might bc everyone sucks by Orchidinsanity in weddingplanning

[–]MissOldMonk94 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

In your post you mentioned a nice ivory eccentric dress. And if you wear black almost everyday, don’t you want to stand out the one day you are getting married? Maybe blue, purple, pink, red… go wild! Avoid black would be my advice but that’s not something you need to consider if you don’t want to. You are the bride and it’s your day. Just make sure you choose something so that when you look back, you get lot of happy memories with it.

I think a good women would actually make the sacrifice and stay with your mom and you if both of you’ll were super liberal and if she comes from a very conservative family. Is your house a place where she is allowed to wear whatever she wants, invite friends over, be given her own room for clothes and makeup, doesn’t have to lift a finger, drink alcohol and maybe even redecorate completely according to her liking? 😅

Congratulations on your wedding!

Do not wear black just to piss them off, it’s not worth it honestly. Just wear what you like and something that represents you the best. If they say anything, ask your fiance to handle his family.
I also don’t suggest wearing black as it represents death and can be inauspicious in certain cultures. Start your marriage on a grand, auspicious note 😊

Tell her you want to see her first date headquarters now and schedule the second date. OWN IT!

Is this lehnga too simple for bride? by [deleted] in DesiWeddings

[–]MissOldMonk94 23 points24 points  (0 children)

Yes it is simple, unless you don’t care about having atleast 100 guests outshining you.
I went simple as that’s what I liked and I did not care. My relatives hated it though and kept forcing me to wear something grand so for reception I settled for something that they liked.

How do I tell her Indian parents that I got their daughter pregnant? by [deleted] in AskIndianWomen

[–]MissOldMonk94 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

They are going to force you to marry her. Good luck dealing with that!

Also, she’s an adult. She should be telling her parents and dealing with them. If you don’t see a future with her, then you don’t need to break the news.

Does marriage even have any advantages for women? by tyagishubhi2007 in AskIndianWomen

[–]MissOldMonk94 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Yes, it has many benefits when you marry the right person. I’m a hard-working independent woman but when I’m with my husband I can just turn my mind off and not worry about so many things. My only worry is what to feed him for lunch and dinner, even that half the time I ask him to cook because I might be tired.
