Treat the woman that just became a member of your family good, WOMEN
A family I know just got their only son and brother married. That guy only has sisters - 5 of them, 3 of them are married with children. The other 2 unmarried daughters are working - they're both in their 20s.
All 3 of the married women spend a great deal of time at their mother's house - all 3 live nearby and they come to their mother's house almost every day. Their mother welcomes them with open arms.
Now, the complaint is that the new addition to the family comes home late from work and goes to her mother's house 'too often'. Apparently, she's not helping do the chores at home. Just to make it clear on how typical this family is, the married daughters go and cook and clean for their father and brother if their mother go out for days, to India specifically, to visit her mother.
Following the cue of the women in the house, that guy also complains about his new wife's "bad behaviour"
My questions are,
1. How did you manage the household before the girl's arrival?
2. You like it when your married daughters come home but you don't like it when your daughter-in-law goes to her mother's house?
3. Why don't the men in the house do their part at home?
4. Why you make the men of your house so handicapped, they can't survive being left home alone?
5. You don't complain when your daughters come home late from work - you give them coffee and tell them to rest - your DIL does the same and she's behaving badly?
6. You expect the girl to adapt to your ways in one day?
To the MIL and Sister-in-laws, give the girl some space and time. She's new to the family. Understand her. Support her. Love and care for her. Mostly teach the men and the boys in the house to be self and home efficient. Don't treat grown ass men like babies and bequeath the babysitting work to the women they marry.
If you wouldn't like your daughter to be treated by her in-laws like how you treat your daughter-in-law, then don't treat your daughter-in-law badly.
