Rebel will get them treated as social pariah.
Adjustment is just another form of resignation.
Diplomacy may or may not work.
Welcome to MyLot!

Can't rebel at times and diplomacy at other work?

There is no single solution to the problem. Sometimes diplomacy works, sometimes you might need to adjust, and sometimes you might need to rebel. The trick is knowing when to use which method. Frankly, I do not consider myself wise enough. But if the amount to be earned comes at the cost of children's future, then I would forego the monies. I would not be too happy sending my children out these days for tuition. Been hearing one story too many, and my child is better off, with my coaching.

@Daljinder Maybe you should remember that this is an international site and not an Indian one. A woman's success is nothing to do with her husband and inlaws in most of our societies. Your question is ridiculous in the context of the site on which you are asking it.

@boiboing Did you even check that I was not the one who posted the discussion?
I don't think the question has anything to do with international or Indian. There are women all over the world facing the same situation.
Anyways as long as the member is not violating any guidelines, he / she can ask and talk about whatever they want.

It all depends on you as to which path you chose. You may revolt or you may be a diplomat. But what you should always keep in mind is that it is your life and you have the right to live it whatever way you want to. Your husband and in laws must not control you; more importantly, you must not give them the power to control you.

@aninditasen And that is where everything goes wrong. Have you ever heard of a father who sacrifices his career for the sake of his children? Why is it always women who are burdened with all the responsibilities of a child? A child is born out of both a man and a woman, and both the mother and father are the parents of a child.
So it is extremely unfair for a father to go on with his life the same without any responsibilities for the child, while the mother has to sacrifice everything to bring up the child.

I agree, but we have to surrender when the question of children arises. Indian middle class women mostly sacrifice their career for their children.
