Just thought of writing these
Set of rules by double standard inlaws
Mother in law (rules for herself)
1)Its my house(just to say in front of everyone its yours)
2)I like to roam,vacation, and spend time shopping jewellery clothes etc(Reason-I am enjoying life before i die/i have slogged a lot-So this means even if you are earning you cant enjoy your own money)
3)its my husbands money/my sons money(what about us isnt your son my husband too)
4)daughter in law can never get tired(she has to be on her toes)
5)No univited guest from the daughter in law side
6)Daughter in law having male friends scrutinised but daughter's male friends are fine
7)my husband should support me(but my son should not support his wife)
8)DIL should know cooking and household chores even if she is career minded and busy working
9)Its ok if my daughter dosent know anything she is busy studying
10)daughter married this house is hers and the house she is maried is hers too
11)Daughter husband should listen to everything but her own son should not listen to DIL
12)daughters get tired DIL dont
13)DIL cant sleep extra one day but daughters can
14)we need a break 24/7 DIL are married servants:drowning

great.. let me add a few timbers:

15) DILs can never question or answer back.. simply nod your head like a cow with no horns and no kick backs.
16) DDs inlaws are talibalni, however we're the best to our DIL.
17) We're liberal... dress code suitable to all occassions for DIL is max what my daughter can wear.
18) All that belongs to us is finally yours after we die.. however we need to keep presenting daughter at every occassion until we die.
19) I treat DD and DIL as same... still its my heart goes out while shopping for DD and Devil's MIND for DIL

will think of more.... :crazy

I am adding some out of my experience:rotfl

16. Sons in law are their sons but their DS should maintain distance with DIL's parents.
17. DD can get gifts from their sons in law but their DS has to seek their permission even to think about getting a gift.
18. Their DS should be readily available at their service 24/7 but he should not help his wife.
19. DD's husband should support their DD and help in household chores but their DS should not support their DIL.

Thinking all these makes me give a mixed reaction. One is :biglaugh and the other one is :rant Am i right?

Good thread!!

Adding few more from my exp...

20) DIL should forget her parents and her relatives after she is married
21) DIL should ask permission for her parents to visit her
22) DIL should praise her MIL for everything, else she does not know respect and is bad :bonk

Amniki,
How are you? Hope everything is OK? I was thinking about you.
Did you resolve with IL's and Get professional help for your H. Hope you are staying safe without any beatings. You are in my prayers.

PS - Ladies sorry for taking the thread on a Detour. Haven't heard from aminki's manipulaitve IL's thread from the 15th. I was worried about how amniki was doing and couldnot resist to ask her when I saw her on this thread.
