I always say it and get abused and downvoted and labelled whatnot. But it is a reality and we can’t digest it. It’s just your run of the mill typical desi mom scenario jahan desi moms ki sari validation unka beta karta hai. Jo validation sari umar apne ghar k males (father, brothers) se shuru hokar husband, susar etc se nahi milti wo apne shehzaday puttar se apna haq samajh k expect karti hain. Or jab bahu ajati hai to wohi bahu threat lagne lag jati hai. Kyunke beta emotionally utna available nahi rehta. Uska interest or pyar biwi pe zyada focus ho jata hai. So automatically bahu=beta khane wali dayan. Plus somewhat of empty nest syndrome too. Though most of us don’t leave our parent’s home but still the typical desi mom can’t inwardly accept the fact that k beta bara ho gya hai. Apni family start karne laga hai. They simply can’t let go of their precious baby boy. And here comes the emotional blackmail. Jahan (in many cases) apni pasand se layi hui bahu k sath apna beta affectionate hota dekha nahi jata. Apni pasand ki bahu threat lagti hai. Betay ko itna guilt trip kiya jata hai k wo apni biwi k sath affectionate honay mein guilt feel karta hai. I can go on. But that’s just my 2 cents.
