I don't know if it is just my family, but all wives have a problem with their mother in laws. My own mother acted terribly to my bibi ji, and in turn my bibi ji would slander my mom on the phone to random people I didn't even know. I was so angry with the both of them, and then one time my mom tried being nice to bibi ji. It worked out nicely, until one day my mom heard my bibi ji talking on the phone. She was saying horrible things about my mom, about how she does no work and always bosses my dad around....it was all wrong of course, but it permanently stained their relationship. <br /><br />Even my mammi ji, she acts horrible to my other grandma as well. I don't understand it, but I am thankful to Guru Ji for showing me the effects of bad relationships. I have such a deep, profound respect for the elderly and I hate when others are rude to them. I wish I could do something about both my bibi ji's situation, but I can't. I do Ardaas to keep everyone good, and I rely on that to make sure everything is okay. <br /><br />I hope more people from the younger generation are kind to their grandparents. If we think about this way, Guru Ji is in everyone. So when we act rudely to elderly people (or anyone in general), it is as if we are being rude to Guru Ji Himself! =o I think if we all realize this, we can control our anger and annoyance with elders and instead help those who have trouble in their old age. Even if others don't see our good deeds, Guru Ji always does. <br /><br />Also, on a side note...grandparents are very fun to talk to! They are always sweet and kind and love telling stories. My papa ji used to tell me about his army days and we shared many laughs together! Just open your heart a little and you will gain a lot! Kaurnoreply@blogger.com
