Perception episode – 3

A middle class family lived in a city. The father used to work as a helper in the collector’s office and the household was doing well with the salary. He had a son, their attention was towards his studies since childhood and wished that the son should be educated and made an engineer. For this, by reducing their extravagant expenses and to increase his income, the father went to a shop in the evening and took the work of keeping its accounts in his hands. Eventually the hard work of the parents and the courage of the child made the son an engineer.

 

The son got a job and the father married his son to the daughter of a family which was relatively wealthier than them.

 

And after a year of marriage, Mother died in a road accident and then only the son, the father and the daughter-in-law were left. The first two years went well, then there was a change in the behavior of the father-in-law. The daughter-in-law did not want her father-in-law to comment on her work and repeatedly instructed her to cover her head. The father-in-law wanted that if his companions of the same age came home, then the daughter-in-law should arrange tea and snacks for them, but the daughter-in-law found it disgusting. After the husband returned to the office, she used to complain every day while the father sat in the room in despair. The atmosphere of the house started getting worse day by day. Finally one day the son told the father that in the present situation in the house, you and your daughter-in-law are unhappy, so I am thinking of admitting you to the old age home, so that you may be happy with your age-mates there and we can live here in peace. 

The father agreed and one day the son put his father’s luggage in the taxi and took his father along with him and left for the old age home. After some time, the father sitting in the taxi on the way started crying. The son said – father, why are you crying?  ” Father said- Son. I had admitted my father to this old age home 20 years ago, which I remembered today.”

 

The son stopped the taxi and asked the taxi driver to go back home. Father said – what happened son? 

 

Son Replied- Dad, the mistake you made 20 years ago. I will not repeat that now. At home, everyone will live together this way or that. 

 

Note:- The above context will be a guide for those women who have just become a mother-in-law and their mother-in-law has been harsh with them.

 

They were misbehaved and tortured by their Mother-in-laws so sometimes they have this belief that I should behave with my daughter-in-law in the same manner as I have been to. 

The reality is that they can do better to change the wrong.
