When our son died at birth she said she was relieved. True story. Never spoke to her again and I didn’t attend her funeral. She had been dead to me for years.

"You should be over it already" referring to the loss of my daughter 6 months prior. She would be 11 this year and she died at 4 months 21 days old. I'm still not over it.

It’s often said that elders bring wisdom into the home, guiding the younger generation with their experience. Their presence can be a source of positivity, stability, and warmth, helping shape family life in wonderful ways. When this relationship is nurtured, it becomes a bond filled with mutual respect and learning.

Once you get married, your in-laws naturally step into that role in your life. Of course, we’ve all heard the countless horror stories of difficult mothers-in-law who make things complicated. But not every story is like that; some are truly heartwarming. Some in-laws actually make life better, and when that happens, it’s magic.

My mother in law pinched my three month old on the bottom of his feet with her acrylic nails so hard because she wanted to hear what his cry sounded like and if it’s changed since he’s been born! Absolutely not immediately no contact!

One such story is that of Warsh Baid, a 62-year-old from Jodhpur, Rajasthan. She co-runs a boutique with her daughter-in-law, and their partnership is proof that family and business can mix beautifully. “It’s all about understanding each other,” Warsh told Bored Panda as she described their relationship.

Communication is at the core of their bond. “We communicate, always,” Warsh explained. “I let her know what I need and expect from her, and she tells me her thoughts openly. She shares what she needs too, so there’s no guessing game between us.” It’s a system of honesty that keeps them connected.

Not my mil, but his grandmother told me I deserved to have my miscarriage and told him to leave before I trapped him with a child, we had been married 4 years at that time. He went off on her and let her know she would not speak to or about his wife like that..now she’s telling everyone I brainwashed him into disliking her cause she isn’t in our family anymore and has no access to our double rainbow baby, I even watermark photos so if she gets sent them by someone she can’t pretend she took them🤣.

That same clarity extends to their workplace. “Especially in the boutique, the staff should not feel like we are two separate bosses,” Warsh shared. “We always work as a team. Beforehand, we discuss what we want or don’t want from the staff, and then we give clear instructions together.” Teamwork is everything.

The time my mother in law said I wasn’t a woman bc I wouldn’t return her calls after my daughter died. I couldn’t even look at my phone, let alone answer. Not even for my own mom. Or how about the time she asked us if we were done at the gravesite after we placed our daughter’s casket in the ground bc the Alfredo & breadsticks were getting cold.

She told my 3 year old daughter, "you don't deserve to call me grandma" and she called her a spoiled brat. We have been no contact with her for almost 4 years 😃.

But it’s not just about business, it’s about respecting each other’s personal space as well. “If I know her friends are coming over, I try to step out for a while to give her privacy,” Warsh said. This small gesture goes a long way in maintaining harmony and trust in their home.

They also balance their strengths beautifully. “She’s well-educated and knows management very well, while I bring years of experience to the table,” Warsh explained. Instead of competing, they complement one another. It’s this mutual respect for each other’s skills that keeps their boutique thriving.

Most importantly, they support and uplift one another. “We don’t try to bring each other down. We support and cheer for each other,” Warsh emphasized. “Mean words stick forever, so it’s important to be careful with what we say.” A kind word, after all, builds bridges.

She lied about having a brain tumor to the point my husband was so worried about her he flew to London (we’re in the US) and she let him go to an appointment with her and let him ask the doctor about the tumor and chemo and he said what tumor and chemo. Her excuse was that she miss understood the doctor but that’s a lie because she told my husband everyday how sick she was and about her hair falling out. That can’t happen if you’re not actually receiving treatment for something that doesn’t exist.
