FhAQ (Frequently Asked Questions By New Brides In My Friend's Family)

Where is the bedroom? Its only 6 mins walk from the hall. There is a guided tour of the house on the 10th of every month. Even long time residents of the house tend to forget what is where.

Where do I buy good walking shoes? No. Our women don't walk outside the house. Go by car. We have 3 cars and 2 drivers. Its easier to purchase a car than a driver. And you can always walk from the hall to the bedroom. Its a long walk anyway.

How frequently can I go shopping? As often as you wish. Just make sure there is one spare driver left for the menfolk.

What if I am tired and I dont feel like cooking? Just say "Ouiii ma, pet mein sardard hai" ("Ooooh I have a headache in my stomach"). We split the housework among the daughters in law, each taking turns. If you still cant manage, introduce up to three cute woman to your husband. 

How frequently can I go to mayke (mother's house)? Anytime you get pregnant.

How frequently can I get pregnant? Make sure it doesn't exceed twice a year. And you, your daughter in law and mother in law shouldn't all get pregnant at the same time. It causes a little problem for the household. if you don't want more children but still want to enjoy maternity benefits you can avail the Surrogate NM scheme. We have a family consultant in Chennai who will provide the details. (http://calmisc.blogspot.com/2011/03/a-new-business-model-snm.html)

What other fringe benefits am I entitled to? All women get RC (Rakshazi club) membership.
