I can't understand the Bahus being the culprits all the time. It is well know fact that most mothers are not ready to see their sons listening to other lady. Most being the phsycological reason of attention Bahus are getting from their sons which they never received from their husbands(dads). And especially older parents are not ready to accept the fact that everyone needs their own space - including them and Bahus. For example : Insisting Bahu need to cook a full fledged breakfast before reaching her work at 8.00am!!! Insisting Bahu needs to be cleaning and serving of all dishes personally! Insisting Bahu needs to do all kinds of poojas/functions in an elaborate way.... Insisting that Bahus should wear traditional dress all the time...
(AND I AM NOT SAYING THAT BAHUS ARE CLEAN ALL THE TIME).. but if you look around the families where both couple work, you can see these issues popping up....
(Most of the above examples are from my home itself. I never thought my mother would lie to me, but I was lucky enough to overhear the conversation between my mom and wife and heard my mom's account on it later...I almost made a mess out of life if I had believed my mom's account)
