Whether the experienced mother-in-law <br />or the newly qualified daughter-in-law, <br />both of them suffer from some cursed flaws. <br />As the cold war started since 'Creation' <br />has never ended between 'mother and wife' <br />the dude tries his best to convince them both. <br /> <br />He has to cock his ear towards the side <br />from which the whispers he hears <br />or else all of them have to be on fast. <br />If he colludes with one, <br />the other will go to hell. <br />If they play cat and mouse <br />what can this man do with feigning creatures? <br /> <br />His wife would conceal the healthy nuts <br />and at night before her husband, would ask: <br />' Why didn't you eat the Cashew nuts? ' <br />and his mother would smirk and say: <br />'You youngones must eat the nuts to live long! '. <br />Each one surpasses the other in concocting <br />stories of joint and hip pain to evade the work <br />and confine him to do the household chores. <br /> <br />His wife blockmail him citing anti-dowry laws <br />and his mother warns him not to be hen-pecked. <br />He condones even his wife's misbehaviour of the past <br />to maintain peace in family life. <br />His child doesn't know where to go <br />between the mother and grandmother. <br />He trots in a 'Push and Pull' game <br />and the man should keep his doors shut in shame. <br /> ------<br /><br />rajendran muthiah<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/the-problem-between-the-in-laws/
