We all have one of these in our family. You know the type – overly matronly, bedecked in jewelry, well meaning but with a sharp tongue, believer of all things religious and superstitious, and with an opinion every time anyone else says anything else! You can’t not invite them to a gathering because they are part of your immediate family, but at the same time, they are bound to be the thorn in your side.

3. Be careful that no one at your baby shower knows that you follow a special meal plan during your pregnancy (especially the ones which limits your ghee and milk intake). A lot of aunties believe in eating for two during pregnancy and this news might just make them very angry!
