[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I just don't get the hate on here.  My Indian ILs are wonderful and kind.  My MIL cooks and tries to clean for us when they visit, even though she is 70!  My FIL helps DH with handiwork around the house (like hanging shelves, mounting TV, etc.).  They are also extremely generous with money -- they "loaned" us money for a downpayment and put a couple thousand into the kids' college funds every year.  MIL stayed with us for a month after each child was born and treated me like a princess (she wouldn't let me lift a finger!  that's how they treat postpartum women in her culture).  I have other friends with Indian ILs too (men and women) and none of them have had the crazy experiences you all talk about.  I think DCUM just brings out the crazy neurotic WASPy types.[/quote]

Nothing to do with wasps. I'm a wasp and I don't see why we would have bad relationships with in-laws by virtues of being wasps, so perhaps you're guilty of your own racial stereotyping you're alleging in others?
