    Are we unreasonable with our expectations for inlaws? I have heard of women complaining:

    1. Not a great gift
    2. Lazy
    3. Comparing gifts given by two families
    4. A very recent one: Money was given to the MIL to buy diamond earrings and it was taken to the US. The DIL found the diamond was not great and compared it with what the mom had give. In the first place, why ask someone to do your job?

    I did several mistakes in my marriage too, but greater were theirs. Where should we draw a line?

    Hi,

    Yes, its true, isn't it? That the way MILs and FILs have expectations about DILs, DILs have so too. And then we start comparing with others. But the comparing a relationship with any other is not quite fair, is it? And being critical, without reason, is simply not quite acceptable. But then again, I feel that most of the time, a relationship has so many layers, its difficult to be judgmental, as an outsider, on the same. I guess, we are growing impatient as a generation in dealing with people, as a rule. May be at times, our impatience shows through.
