I've had an almost 100% reduction in shoveling work - I only have to go out there when I want to. Also, we only have two shovels, so I can sit back and relax and not even feel guilty about it. We're in the midst of record-breaking snow, and I've been replaced on the Snow Shoveling Crew!!! But while I sit inside the house, poor Mian still has the same amount of shoveling work! I also took some pictures of them shoveling from inside my warm, warm house - but you could see the window frame and it just seemed so evil that I went outside to take pictures a little closer to the scene. I'm telling you - benefits!

Hahahahha. Very funny Sis. Yes, I've heard you are getting another 20 inches today. Yes, you rest and have your chai :-P
You go, Gori Wife! Take the benefits, I say, and RUN with them. Ahhh....so many benefits of being a woman - except childbirth. LOL.
I sincerely hope no one gives you another shovel as some kind of present...
I am sickly obssesed with your blog. It is almost like reading a book. :D
But I am glad you don't have to do any work.
Fringe Benefits- They're an amazing band btw.
Nice..and I believe your bro-inlaw's campus might be closed, so good opportunity to get all cleaning/shoveling work in the house done, now that there's another snowstorm in the week :P
LOL! Funny post.
Good luck with the extra snow today!
That's (almost) slave driving.
Dude - White or Brown, with ALL families, there are costs and benefits.
Folks were always shocked that there was a possibility that my Indian FIL would come live with us. Would it have been ideal? No, but I married an Indian knowing that was part of the deal. And some folks could not suppress their horror! at the amount of money we would send him. Was I excited about sending so much money? Hell, no. However, if my husband had NOT done his duty as an Indian son, I would have lost respect for him and I would have found out that I married less of a man than I thought I was marrying. I expected my Indian husband to take care of his parents. End of story.
My MIL passed away before my husband and I were married. So yes, I never have had to "deal with" an Indian MIL, but on the other hand, I have never had the BENEFIT of an Indian MIL. And there are benefits.
Oops, meant to mention that I think it is sweet that your son is going to get to know his uncle so well. Definitely a BENEFIT. :-)
I'd say, it really depends on how you look at the situation. Stay positive, and everything will turn out positive (Y). See, the presence of your BIL is already turning out to be a benefit :-)
Cute picture! That was all of us this morning. (Shoveling our cars out) We got 22 more inches yesterday (24 on Saturday)..this has been the craziest winter ever for Philadelphia! I'm glad you don't have to shovel!
I just landed on this blog and spent 2 hours reading the blogs.
Fantastiche !
Hi Gori Wife!
I have a question for you...
When you and M were dating, M was doing his PhD, the PhD degree requires a lot of commitment itself, it would be interesting to hear from you about how his career or studies affected your relationship?
Nice informative funny blog you have here! I like it! :)
