please dont call them typical bahus!!!!! they are shrewed minded bahus... A bahu should be a daughter, if the in laws are so loving and caring, the bahu should be too.... and thats what a typical bahu should be......... I am a daughter in law.... and I am more like a daughter to my in laws, because they treat me like a daughter not a daughter in law..... I think the word "typical" should not define such women as "typical" bahus..... we as a society consider these kind of women to be typical bahus, whereas they are not...... yes there is a handful of these kind..... but lets get together and take the tag of "typical" bahus from them and give it to those who are not evil........
