    Nikhil Krishnan @nikillinit 01 May Replying to @nikillinit no idea how people do the whole "taking over the family business" thing, it must just be an insane amount of phone calls with no documentation anywhere about how things work

    KartyB @KartyB - 01 May Replying to @nikillinit Wedding planner! Best investment for Indian weddings. Having your parents accountable to someone else and someone you are giving money to changes their mindset. When they realize how much an hour you're (or they're) paying them, the dynamics changes quickly. 278 ili 72K ☐ ∞ 275 Nikhil Krishnan @nikillinit 01 May · Unfortunately the good planners know exactly how much they're worth and the bad planners are actually extra work

    THIS IS A SLOW PEACEFUL ROAD snake plant @maryhoeliver 02 May Replying to @nikillinit • Figure out which parts of the wedding matter most to your parents - ask them to handle those & handle everything else w your partner. Husband and I did this & it reduced our workload by a lot
