Living within laws

Oops that was a typo. I meant “Living with in-laws”.
Last night I am my better half went to watch a late night show at a multiplex close to our house. Our 1.5 year old son went off to sleep before we left the house. We happily went ahead for the movie without looking back. My in-laws were at home looking after him.
That instant while we were waiting for the lift outside the apartment, I looked back at the closed main door and realized how much secure I felt to go out for an evening of enjoyment without any burden. I realized the benefit of living in a joint family with in-laws first hand. This blog post is not to propagate joint family system etc. It is aimed just to share my positive experience.
Indeed this issue is not devoid of vehement discussion and counter argument with instances of gruesome conditions. I agree that my case might be one of those blessed ones and I am thankful to God for this. But with the absolutely horrific stories that one sees on investigative TV channels about maids and their methods I am ready to compromise a bit for a safer environment for my kid.
