Priya
Man she needs boundaries and a Babysitter or Nanny or maid or all three...
(**And Melissa was an absolute bitch to her woe- unreal Melissa counting raisins-?ugh**)
Her mother-in-law pops by and just takes over?! (-Oh hellill no. -)
Her husbands question about a diverse woman? Are you serious?!
Also sex with a teacher?!

mcctrish Priya‘s choices seem routed ( like Tara‘s) with parents who enforced gender role stereotypes and family expectations and it‘s heartbreaking. Dev has a relaxation night? I‘d be screaming, literally in his face “ you can relax when you are dead because I am going to kill you right now if you do not start helping me!” This has happened irl in my home and I do not have nearly as much shit going on as Priya 9mo

TheBookHippie @mcctrish 💯💯💯💯 it‘s happened here too. I have extra large trash bags and the joke is that‘s where you all are going if ya don‘t STEP UP 😵‍💫. 9mo

IndoorDame @mcctrish @TheBookHippie YES!!! I don‘t think I ever wanted to throw this book as much as when I saw ‘relaxation night‘! I‘d be all for it if their life was under control and he wasn‘t taking advantage of her but as is Hell No!! And their life could be under control. This is a couple that can afford outside help in addition to Dev and the kids stepping up. 9mo

IndoorDame The teacher thing actually makes sense for 97, but I can‘t figure out the point of including it in the story except maybe that it helps explain why she allows herself to be treated so poorly. 9mo

TheBookHippie @IndoorDame 🤷🏻‍♀️🤦🏻‍♀️ it‘s a bit much. 9mo

kspenmoll These women‘s lives are such wrecks. @mcctrish you are making me laugh! My responses are brief because this is my third day postop from rotor cuff surgery repairing a tendon tear and some other shoulder stuff, so I am a little out of it. 9mo

mcctrish Oh @kspenmoll I hope your recovery goes speedy and you feel like yourself again fast #imayellerwhenigetoverwhelmed 9mo

mcctrish @IndoorDame seriously! Where are the helpers?! And not passive aggressive MIL 😡 9mo

AmyG @kspenmoll Feel better. Not an easy surgery but one day at a time-you‘ll be good as new! Yeah, these women are a hot mess. So much high school drama spilling into their present lives. Absurd. (edited) 9mo

TheBookHippie @kspenmoll sending healing vibes and love! 9mo

IndoorDame @kspenmoll take it easy. I hope recovery goes well. 9mo

vonnie862 This would totally annoy me. Boundaries! 9mo

vlwelser Poor Priya. She needs to get her shit together. A nanny would be a great start. 9mo

DebinHawaii @kspenmoll Ouch! Hope you feel better soon & things heal quickly. 9mo

DebinHawaii Yeah “relaxation night” put me over! 🤬And I agree—I don‘t get why with their two salaries they can‘t get a nanny or some help in. 9mo

TheBookHippie @DebinHawaii EXACTLY!! HIRE HELP!!! Good grief...... 9mo

TheDaysGoBy @kspenmoll Heal fast and take it easy! 9mo

Sparklemn @kspenmoll I wish you speedy healing! 9mo

Karisa Oh jeez, when you lost it all like that Priya‘s not so likable either… 😬😂 She‘s a doctor for goodness sake. She can hire some help if her husband is that much of a man-child (but honestly even with him chipping in, some help with the kids/house would be warranted) 9mo

mollyrotondo @kspenmoll I hope you are resting and I wish you a speedy recovery! 9mo

mollyrotondo Dev gets worse and worse. No wonder he‘s a man child. His mother baby‘s him. He has a “relaxation” night with his other idiot male friends. Give me a break 🙄 and has to handle all duties while he literally just has a job? No. The whole sleeping with a teacher thing just gives her a weird sexual experience story like the rest of her friends. 9mo

Kelly_the_Bookish_Sidekick Dev sucks. If my husband ever thought he could have a relaxation night and I didn't get one, he had better sleep with one eye open. They're both prominent doctors... they can afford help. I think Priya's spinelessness regarding her MIL might be cultural. As for sleeping with a teacher...🙄 At least he was fresh out of school and not 50. Did I pick up on the illusion that Suki took the blame? 8mo

TheBookHippie @Kelly_the_Bookish_Sidekick yup Suki took the blame! 8mo
