[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I grew up in London, India and the US and DH was born here and grew up here, his parents moved from India in the 70s and I am so much more open minded and flexible as are my urban cosmopolitan parents. DH parents didn't let him learn his native tongue in fear that he would not learn English. They didn't pay for education even a little and had him get loans even though they could afford it. They helped for a total of 6 weeks with much stress for both my babies. Both girls and I still haven't heard the last of it @ no male child. They said they have saved up to travel the world, nothing wrong with that. These are educated people and are very judgmental, superstitious, manipulative, lying and mean people. Ditto for rest of the uncles and aunts in his family.

Lot of stability yes but man so much animosity and selfishness among this community, so much hypocrisy. The most 'god-fearing' culture does the least charity. Ironical and sad.

Why would anyone want to ape the methods of such parents whose children most of them grow up self centered selfish beings. There is not much sense of community service. I have Jewish friends and they have more sense of sharing and helping in their fingertips than all the indian people I know.

Um, this is your family's experience.  Most Indian parents I know went into debt if they needed, so their kids would have minimal debt.  And, in this day and in the US, I really don't hear that grandparents openly, if at all, state a preference for boys.  Is his family educated? [/quote]
