My going to be in laws seem cold today when I am not even married. There are absolutely no things that are being planned for me, on the other hand I see a lot of people doing bride to be favors and think about their daughter in laws before hand.

I have not had any concern about this if I had to live in a different city from my in laws. It makes me worried and it’s just 2 months left for the wedding.
Not sure what to do, open to suggestions.

Few suggestions before you begin a new inning in your life:

Lower your expectations from the old generation. They believe it's your responsibility to manage things when you're DIL of the family.

Don't compare with the world. Your life will be very different from your siblings, comparing it with the world will certainly not help you.

Don't try to mirror your expectations from social media or Instagram to be particular.

Start taking responsibilities like your mother does or father does. Don't expect anyone else doing your work but you may have to do theirs. Keep a support network around you. Like maids, nearby kirana shops who could deliver things on demand.

God forbid if your in-laws are inhuman or don't provide you an environment which they are supposed to do so, slowly slowly make your husband see that. Don't open all the war fronts on the first day. A lot of wars are fought on perception. If you create an image of always complaining or finding mistakes, you will die on the first of war.

Don't think about feminism at all. In the real world it doesn't work. Don't get into an ego fight either.

Keep your husband on your side. No matter what, out of all your relatives, he would be closest to you.

Rest you will be leading your family. Run it like a CEO, no employee should go unhappy and spread negativity.

All the best.

It’s like joining a new firm .. so pressure would be on the new joiner the existing organisation would continue as is..
The new employee could grow and help grow the firm or vice Vera..
depending on the organisation’s culture you may have the full set of responsibilities (start up) or gradual responsibilities (infy/tcs)..

What has worked for me in last 15 years is a lil bit of formality and distance.

Every house is different and sometimes I miss being around with a motherly figure but if I see a larger picture, I am at peace because as formality creeps in expectations go down ..
this does not mean lack of respect or responsibility.
You would never be loud with some one formal. Even if you donot like some comments from others it refrains you from responding.
Silence is the best weapon ..
No husband/kid likes to hear about his parents.. so do-not complain about a person always complain about a situation ( I am still learning this)..and try find solutions.
Last but not the least, try to sacrifice a lil bit for your family’s happiness but not continuously and at the cost of your self respect..

Start some savings ( 40%) - under 3 years plan so that you are not ending up spending all your salary from day 1..

I went through my gf’s phone and found out she had a crush on my best friend when we first started dating (over a year ago).

How do you handle people’s kids showing up on video meetings? Screaming, kicking, hamming it up, (wasting time.) Everyone else is coo-ing…I’m not a kids person.

He’s not willing to commit to the other women because he’s not over me.

Perspective: monogamy is anti-human nature; in this era where each parent could raise a kid independently, marriage tends to be a shackle on many aspects of life. We live once, why does society expect us to live with 1 person for 60+ years? No wonder divorce rates are through the roof!

I am generally uncomfortable when I’m around my mother-in-law’s husband.

While he is overall a decent guy, his anger issues, yelling at his wife for the slightest issue, and insulting nature makes me uncomfortable and triggers my own anger due to his blatant disrespect for just about everyone around him.

My mother-in-law says he’s worked on things, but it’s been 10 years of this and I’m not sure I want such behavior around my wife and our kids since we’re trying to conceive soon (cont).
