Whenever their parents visit them, I see a change in some of them. Either from the parents' side or from my friends' side. One of my friend belongs to a middle class family and her mom has seen major ups and downs in her life. Her daughter(my friend, lets called her Avanti) got married to a guy from a little upper class family. Avanti is very much interested in having a standard life, and she has set her home, in a good way if not extravagant. Everything is in its place and everything is in order in Avanti's place. She has seen her mom facing a few problems wrt household management or handling household chores and when it was her turn to set a home, she easily solved those issues and made it easier in her own family.
The problem, now, is that her mom is quite upset or jealous(I have no idea which word suits aptly here) about Avanti, in everything that is mentioned above, her dressing, her lifestyle, her household management etc etc. So, her mom started interfering in her matters or taunts her for each and every thing that she prepares, mocks her, is always smirking at her etc etc. #IfYouKnowWhatIMean
Whereas Avanti has a different story to say. She says that her mom was never positive about her; prior to marriage, whenever she had given her opinion or suggested something to improve the standard of living, her mom and dad both actually made fun of her, derided her very badly and would always take her for granted. So, she stopped interfering in their standards and after her marriage, she started implementing whatever ideas she had had.
And now, her mom literally is jealous of her own child. Even her own dad makes fun of her now or derides her. He would interfere in her chores and suggest something impractical. Like wash clothes in the morning itself, and daily, immediately after bath. whereas Avanti has her own timetable for washing clothes, she has evaluated everything in her present home and set everything accordingly. She feels that her parents are really immature and they gain a sense of ego satisfaction by poking into her life.
Whatever, I am lost for words in this case. I felt Avanti is quite matured enough to handle that kind of parents and these incidents raised a few thoughts in my mind. Can parents ever be jealous? Can they be egoistic towards their own child?
Share your thoughts please. Would like to hear more about this.
