Working just to avoid being home with in-laws

after all its his parents coming together naa?
the old couple can relax intheir own way,i guess!
defenitely if the lady wants to go ut and work,there must be a genuine reason behind it...........

 

depends on how the in-laws usually treat her..

 

Wouldn't blame her, really.....I probably would've done the same! She just needs her own space, I guess....

She's going to be back in the afternoons, so there'd be enough time for driving around/ giving company and such other jobs her husband's lined up for her!!

Her in-laws would settle better if they have someone for their own age and outlook to bond with. Too often we see parents coming over for long and regular spells, and never quite settling down. IMO, they wouldn't feel out-of-place if they have their own friends and activities, and aren't too dependent on DIL/son (though quite a few sons are never around, are they - they seem to assume their job's done once the green card comes through!)

 

Yes absolutely for sanity.
I would infact sign up to volunteer in a remote artic camp or may be travel to end of universe for research purposes :thumbsup

 

:exactly:i second Endlesshope

 

omg ,artic will be crowded soon!
dont give such ideas in forums!

 

There is no question of right and wrong in this. If she thinks that she needs some time of her own, away from in-laws, she has a right to it. The attitude of the husband proves that as is she will be spending all her weekends with in-laws.

Besides, no one in US cares whether someone is doing a low paying or a high paying job, as long as they are doing it right.

I wish such a woman a lot of luck and hope she will grow in her job.

 

I was just reading your post on another tread and I am quoting you from there:
"... I disagree because I place higher value on individual freedom and ability to do what is legally allowed."
I believe taking a low paying job to get out of the house is legal.

 

Don't you think it will be for their good also? Having to see her at home, squandering their son's money, will be most unpleasant to these old people. And who needs her at home anyway? They are there to look after the kids.

If husband is smart, he himself will help the wife to get a job, even if voluntary work. And at least 3 months before they are coming, to make it look more natural. in India, we at least have other work like gossiping with neighbors, gossiping about neighbor. Moreover, by scolding the maid, milkman, paperboy, etc, some of the heat is dissipated. If these two at war people are shut up in one house, day in-day-out, just imagine what will happen.... :drowning

The wife escaping is for the greater good........ not only her own.
