@peachpurple You mean you live with your in-laws but do not cook combined but separately! I suggest you to please do your father-in law a favor and share some of the dishes you cook so magnificently. I do not write a comment on them being a vegetarian but read them all FYI 🙂

@sunil Wow! Your mother-in-law is so strong to impose what she wanted. In my country, that would be a great issue between husband and wife. It should be equal. If the woman dominates the man, the issues will start between them. All I know, respect should always be practiced in the family.

@Shavkat  I did not mention my mother in law but my mom. By the way we do not keep a track of our wife’s mother in general even if we live in the same city. In my case, my mother in law passed away years ago.

@suny I am sorry. It is my mistake. In my country, some wives considered their mother-in-law as monsters. It is in the culture mother-in-law do all the things in her kitchen department.

@Shavkat, when my father died, it was the eldest in our family who took care of us at home.I was a new teacher when my father passed away, and at that time there were 4 of us in the family already working, so we told our eldest brother to let me and my brothers and sisters find freedom and liberty. Still we are so thankful to our eldest brother.Every Christmas I showered many Christmas gifts a way to express our deepest that and gratitude to our eldest in the family.

@lovern It was nice that your eldest brother took his responsibility seriously. Other cannot do the same thing of what he and I sacrifice in out life. As for me, I never felt any regrets about it. I took it a challenge and little-by-little, I can see some changes in the family.

@ Shavkat It’s the same in my family. I live with my parents and my father leads the family. My father is also the eldest among his brothers and though all my uncles are living their separate lives but they turn to my father for advice as and when needed.

Though I am the breadwinner in our family, my wife and I share the responsibility in leading our family. I am the head of the family and she supports me. When I am away, she takes the lead in the taking care of our family. We adapt the principle of shared responsibility. It is the true spirit of making one’s family happy, contented and God-fearing.

This month of September we are going to celebrate the week-long family activities. It is our usual practice to bring along my family to the Church, to eat together, to have fun together, and to observe the God-inspired program about the family. You could appreciate how your family members do things together as one family. It is our belief that family could be together forever.

We may adopt the title as the leader of our family for as father I have the authority to lead my family towards the attainment of life eternal by being obedient to God’s commandments and laws. But as for me, my wife and I are leading our family

@Shavkat, yes friend, we are so thankful to our eldest brother in the family for he too the responsibility.He only had to check our condition. He hired two house helps for us to cook food, wash our clothes, clean the dishes, clean the house and brought us to school. We are so thankful to our parents for they acquired vast coco farm 10 hectares that supported our daily needs.There are so many of us in our family , you may no believe, but true, that there are 12 of us siblings in our family hehehe so many right? But we have close and tight bond among us brothers and sisters..8 girls and 4 boys.

@lovern You are really lucky to have your responsible brother. And speaking of land property, I will be going to travel in my mother’s hometown. I need to retrieve some pertinent documents and probably filing an adverse claim against her youngest sister. This is will be a stressful errand for me.lol

@Shavkay, yes friend, we are so lucky to have a very kind brother. he is also very thoughtful and caring.My brother is now 70 years old. I always give him Christmas gift every Christmas to let him know how much I love him and how much thankful I was when he took care of me when I and my other siblings were so young children that time. How nice to feel if loved by our own family.

September 4, 2016 at 3:05 pm

@lovern We have also blessed that the family is intact. Despite the trials, we are experiencing right now. I felt bad my father side doesn’t do the same thing.

actually, I wanted to cook but my mother in law forbid me to touch the kitchen because she deemed that the kitchen belongs to her.

Hence, I don’t cook when my in laws are around.

My father in law cooked on his own since my mother in law doesn’t cook for him.

I am ok with my father in law

Whatever he says, I just nod my head.

Anyway, he is a good old man except he drinks alcohol , smoke a lot and stubborn head. Thats all

@peachpurple I think your mother-in-law is so serious type person. If you will contradict her thoughts, I am sure it would be a chaos between the two of you.
