    Interesting thought as I read, Some of the pronouncements can be made for those of us who have been fortunate to have been exposed or ingrained to more progressive parents, families, friends, societies. So one person's 2015 may be another's 1990 and another's 2040. IL just like real world is a mix.

    "I am quite shocked that you want advice in this regard. "
    I dint ask for advice..i juz wanted to know the scenario with all others...who had this custom..and how dey faced

    "You are living in USA, a working women, Why can't you speak for yourself. Even you were not working, your parents are not supposed to pay anything. Just give a blast to your husband and in laws."

    Yes i too had the same opinion of parents not paying for my child....giving blast will not do me any good..it is not easy as it jus looks

    How silly is this to make your father go to your in laws house for giving money? I think you made your father feel very sad. A baby is a gift from god. You should be happily spending money. After all they are your parents. They sacrificed everything for you and in turn you can't even speak up for them. Yes very bad me....felt very bad whenever i think about dis..

    First of all you should not have let your father give money to your husband. I think you better open up and speak to your in laws and ask them not to interfere in your life anymore. If they still continue with these stupid demands, you better start saving up your own money and not spend even a single penny for your in laws and even for your husband. Your husband should be bold enough to face his parents. Even if I live in India, I will not let my parents pay for my delivery expenses.

    For gods sake, don't feel weak and pathetic for being born as a women and you better feel confident and set a good example for future generations. U really are a very good example...thanks for dat

    If you cannot oppose your pILs then the smart thing to do is bear the expenses yourself and inform everyone that parents did it . You just need to make sure you do not burden your parents .
