Claire y Esteban, Getting to Know You: Fotografia Santiago Chile, Las Condes
About your in-laws, well I guess my mother-in-law is an exception when it comes to Chilean mother-in-laws because she is not like that. Although we live faaaar away so she doesn't really have the chance to be, hehe. I actually wouldn't mind living with her though. I have a really good time with my mother-in-law.
Do you think that intrusive in-laws are really just a Chilean thing though? I think it's also pretty common in other cultures. I have a friend who lives with her in-laws in Japan and her Japanese mother-in-law tries to compete with her. For example, if my friend wakes up at 7am to do the laundry, the next morning her mother-in-law will wake up at 6am to do hers. If my friend buys a dog statue for her porch, her mother-in-law will have a bigger one on her porch the next day.
Kathleen, to be honest with you I'm not sure because I only know gringo and Chilean cultures well. So who knows what mother in laws are like in other countries... I certainly don't want to find out, ahhaha :)
Sara, I'm sure the psychic tells everybody that because it's bound to always be right!
My MIL is very very into our business, she ever went as far as to tell Rodrigo(on the day we were married even!) that he HAS to live in Chile when he has kids because it will be cheaper and she will be able to help raise them....yeah...NOT going to happen!!!!
My post is up, and I also posted about my poor quality of life - and how it just got better!
