As a girl joins the “Mrs” Club, there are some real struggles that are faced by her during the adventurous new journey she has embarked upon! Because Indian marriage does not mean marrying your husband, but marrying his family! Here are some daily struggles faced by every Indian ‘bahu’ which are totally real!
1. Giving up on your dreams:
Goodbye career. It was a fun journey so far!
2. Impressing your mother in law
When the Mother-in-Law is a hard nut to crack.
3. Asking for permission to go home
Please? Please? Pretty Please?
4. We’re a team now
For every decision, the wife has to consider her husband’s opinion.
5. No more Saturday Nights
Saturday night no longer means boozing and partying, it means sitting with family and dinning together.
6. No escape from house Chores
Girl, you better work!
7. Those Cravings
Quick, no one’s looking! *gulps down a pint* . I want my single days back..sobsob
8. Learn to hide emotions
That’s like the ground rule. No tantrums around the house, young lady! This is not your parents’ house !
9. No more questioning
Aye aye, captain!
10. Those never ending invitations from relatives and the laddoo overdose!
There is no escape route to the dinner invites and the ladoos.
11. Shine like a Christmas tree!
You got to be decked up all the time with jewelry, heavy suits and sarees because you’re the bahu of the house now!
12. Planning a baby in the first 2 years of marriage
What?? A baby, NOW? But, I am still one of the them.
13. Forget your friends
Husband’s friends and their wives are your new and ONLY friends now!
14. Lose your personal time and space
Bid goodbye to freedom. It’s office, home, family time now.
15. You eventually learn to do multi-tasking.
Managing job, household chores, impressing the in-laws, well that’s the least an ideal daughter-in-law is expected to do!
