I so agree with you on this issue and this coming from a guy it must be very true. Am a woman and I don’t share the idea of girls posing almost nude on social media. All they are trying to portray or say is that they are available for anyone and everyone anytime. It’s very unfortunate that some feel like it’s a way of getting hooked, but it isn’t.…[Read more]

@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.

@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 🙂

I am married, staying with my in laws

Ironically, it is my mother in law who leads in this family, not my father-in-law

I once was told by my father in law that he was being bullied by her ( his wife).

He said that my mother in law refused to cook for him that he had to cook his own meal

In addition, if he does anything like gardening or…[Read more]

@Shavkat on the contrary my father was kind of dominating, he never asked us but gave us orders and we never hesitated carrying them out.

@Lola My mom was a kind lady who never tried to dictate terms but as far her work culture she was firm and final her decisions. My father always respected her opinion.

My father always led our family when he was alive as he was the oldest and the male in the family (traditional old style American household).  Now that he’s passed away and it’s just my mother and I we both share responsibility.  My mother does handle the finances though as I don’t have any income coming in at the moment due to being unable to w…[Read more]

@Anand Never mind, I have accepted the fact as it is very much part of the life and we have no control on such things. 

@ suny  Thanks suny for your kind words. And feel sad about you, I can understand your feelings.

@Anand I hope you remain the same under your father’s kind attention. But I miss my dad who left us for his last journey almost 6 years before. I wish you all the bet in your future life!

@suny  You know me really well. Yes that is true. I am easy going person and I want peaceful life. I am happy with whatever I have, and don’t want more either. My dad has gave me always good advice, so I am glad to have him.

@Anitah Gimase  exactly, I know in many parts of the world woman is head of the family like in our country itself there are many states where the reins of the household is in the hands of women.

@Anand I am sure you are an easy going person so you must be happy under your father’s control 🙂

Personally i tend to believe that the man is the head of the house all over the world. but it could also be different with some people with different cultures. People have different ways to showing it or doing it. there are some families where the lady is the head of the house, because they are the ones who do everything in the house whether there…[Read more]

@Shavkat  Currently my father is holding all power, and I am really fine with it as I can do well with his experience. I always used to follow his advice even in my work.

@alina my father is no more and my mother went to meet her maker even before so being the eldest I am the head of family but I try to take everyone in account and take a combined decision.

like most traditional families in my case the leader is my father. he was the one who always took the decisions about pretty much everything. anyway I must say I wouldn’t want my own family to be like this. I would waNT me and my husband to take decisions in common

@Shavkat In my case it is not the same but I let all of the siblings add their suggestions despite being oldest in the family and that too we all living separately.

@Shavkat Thanks for appreciation, actually I already have a home there as I have worked there for long time working on PR Visa.

Thank you @shaloo walia  I have a house there for years so I am going back to take up my job with ISO academy where I have worked previously too. 

@shaloo walia I wish I could say that because I would be shifting to another country in near future permanently and I will have to sell my present house within next year or so. I have been living here for years now although being in a job I have stayed and lived in many places in between.
