Choosing Between Mom and Wife

Choosing Between Mom and Wife


​

Today at park my seventy plus old friend read out this Whats app joke to me, which had us all in peals of laughter. First let me post it in English here.



Aaj ki Smart Bahu ( Today’s Smart Daughter in Law)


[FONT=&quot] [/FONT]
Ek Bahu Aur ek Saas,
Aur unke putra Shri prakash,
Baith the Udaas.



Achanak Maa ne kaha ki Kalpana karo ki,
Hum aur Bahu, dono ganagaji nahane jaye,
Humara pair phisal jaye,
Aur hum dono doobne lagne jaye,
To tu apna dharm kaisa nibhaiga,
Doobti hui maa aur biwi mein kisko bachaiga ?



Mehrban, kadardan, sahiban



Ladka tha pareshan,
Uske dimag mein koi yukti nahin ayi,
Kyonki,
Ek taraf tha khooua ( well),
Aur ek taraf this khai,



Achanak biwi ne mooh khola,
Aur yun boli,
Hey patidev,
Aap apna dharma shravan kumar ki tarah nibhana,
Doobti hui maa our biwi mein,
Apni maa ko hi bachana.
Maa ki mamtaki laj ko mat lajana,
Aur humara kya hai, hum to jawan hai,
Maut se bhi jooj jayenge,
Aur hume bachane to jinhe tairna bhi nahin ata,
Who bhi kood jayenge !!!!



In short in English, the mother asks her son, what if me and yr wife are drowing same time same place, whom will u save.
The son is flustered for one side is the well, and one side is the deep sea. He will bein trouble with both if he chooses to save one.


Then the wife says, u can save the mother, for don’t worry about me, I am young and pretty, even those who do not know how to swim , will jump in to save me.



But though I lauged at it, these matters are pretty serious eh ! The son is caught between the devil and the deep sea, now who is what don’t ask me. After marriage , within a year , we shifted to Jaipur, to make our own life , bunglow and business, and we have been independent since then. So no tiffs there between my mother and wife. And yes, I would not prefer to live again in a joint family, thought both ladies are very good, I am the apple of their eye, but sparks will fly sometimes, and how can I choose one over the other eh !love is still strong with mom, what with the distance, she still hides imported chocolates and other goodies that guests bring, to Mumbai home, for I am away from her.So I get more goodies from her, bcs of the distance.HAHA




It is fun staying away from parents, for u become more responsible in life. You have to earn,learn to fend for yourself,to educate yr children, not having yr mom go to parent teacher meet, u manage to take caer of thekids, and their maids and cretches, or however. And whatever the wife makes, is fine with the hubby, he dare not complain, and the wife is happy to bein charge of the kitchen, thehouse and the finances and above all, in total control of her husband. No mother in law to feed his ears against her.



Today’s money constraints and expensive home prices force many couples to live with the husbands parents, sharing a small house, and there are daily frictions in many homes. I guess here, the DIL has to be the one with patience, for the house does not belong to her husband, she has tow ait till the inlaws are no more, and he inherits the house, but with medical science prolonging lives, it will be very long before the house becomes hers .



It would be wise for the parents to buy even a one room apartment for the not married son, and after marriage tell him, son go an shift there, to avoid future problems before they arise, so there is peace at home. The parents have their own way of living, the young couples their own way, so let each live life their own way.



In a way, the mother should be happy, that now the wife has come, let her take care of her son. Duty and responsibility is transferred. It is like , now let me do my things, like bhajan, kirtan, friends and kitties all thati missed while I took care of him. But somehow, feeling of jelousy comes in, that my son nowlistens more to his wife than to me.



I don’t have a son, so this situation wont arise for me. And I dontmiss having a son, my daughters are equally good and responsible and responsive. But I feel sorry for the sons, caught between the mother and the wife. He is as they say, in No Man’s Land.


Another joke I heard today in the park is like this



Pair (legs) hone chahiye Garam,


Aur sar Thanda,
Agar doctor aa jaye,
To marna use Danda !!

Meaning to avoid cold and doctors, keep yr feet warm, and yr head cold.
Well if we keep our head cold, and we wear no muffler or caps and hats in this cold season, I guess Adidas and Nike bosses will be soon begging on the streets !






Take caer my friends, keep yr head cool, remember my gold words.

Merry Christmas.

Dear Crayoness,

Welcome to my post.

We talk in the indian context, where marriage expenses are born by parents as also higher education. And at the time of marriage, kids are dependent on parents.

So in that context, is what i say, that if the parents can, they can buy a home for the kids, rather than wishing for a cosy relationshio with the DIL.

And that is what happened to me, dad built me this bunglow, for my feet were shaky then, and then slowly i leanrt to fend for myself.

You are right in what u say, but how many boys and girls, at age 27 or so when they marrry, being just 2 or 3 years into a job, have any money to buy a house ?
