[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]It's not your mil's house but yours. She needs to keep her mouth shut. If I had someone discourage me from getting a home I liked bc of that, I would laugh in their face.[/quote] You don't quite understand a certain mind-blowing (to us westerners) aspect of many Asian cultures. It is believed that parents own everything their kids own. They feel they own their kids, for that matter. So the MIL feels she has every right to her say about the house. [/quote] I'm the pp you responded to and Indian who grew up here. I do understand about parents receiving respect and yada yada yada.....I still wouldn't let anyone discourage me from making my own decisions about big aspects in my life. It's about speaking up sometimes and not just deferring to elders just because they are older than you.[/quote]
