I would like to share here My Mother-in-law's story ,which is full of struggles..She always Smile & i learnt lots of good lessons from her..
Before 2 year, my elder kid was 4 yr & my younger kid was 1 yr old..one day ,they both were throwing tantrums & both were sick , were not sleep whole night..also my health was unwell those days..i cried & felt depressed..My mother in law came in my room & asked the reason..when i told the reason of crying , she replied , " Bus itna hi huaa he aur tum himmat har rahi ho?? " Many more are remaining to comes in your life dear.. and that day she told me about what she sacrifices, what struggles came in her life & afterall how she always keep smile and facing all problems bravely..
( in her language)
" After My Marriage, i came to know that My in laws family is living with full of old thoughts and they believed that woman is made for just household works nd cooking , nothing else!!
14 members were lived together that time, as my father in law has 3 brothers nd 2 sisters.. My Mother-in-law told me that , she has to wear saare with pallu, with full mouth cover..morning 6 to night 10 she worked continuously.. she never went in theatre or hotel with husband..grains like wheat , rice etc came home with full of stones nd little insects..she has to clean them at night, after all were sleep..!!
when all members took dinner, she & her jethani ate & cleaned utensils, than sleep..even , her mil ( my grandmother in law) didnt allow her for vaccinations to kids..and she told that its not necessary! I really shocked to listen these!
after 10 yrs of marriage , my in laws went for outing with 2 kids and , bus accident was happened & they all got injured highly..afterall she showed braveness and took care of kids & cooked for all..
she told me that , She never know about Maid !! * Today , She is suffering from Epilepsy since 13 years..She never know, when she will fall down & will get injured.. many times she fall down on roads too & too much blood come out from her head.. If she forgets to take her even any one medicine, she will suffer..
* Her mil ( my grandmother in law) had diabetes , blood pressure & paralysis too...my mil took care of her till her last breath.. afterall , She naver got praised by her family members aur in laws!
She told me that, even 57 years of age , she is ready to take every challenge from life! she will never loose hope!
