90 Day Fiance The Other Way Recap: Sumit Singh's Mom Teaches Jenny Slatten to Clean Her Own Home!

October 18, 2021

On 90 Day Fiance: The Other Way Season 3, Episode 8, the couples grappled with cheating, with in-laws, and with their conflicting plans for the future.

Sumit and Jenny finally got his parents to budge ... but the price of being "accepted" by his family could be too much for Jenny.

And that might be the whole point, Jenny fears.

Ariela and Avi are in New Jersey for his hernia surgery, but her family reminds her that this could be the best place for her son to grow up.

Corey pleads with Evelin for forgiveness, but she can't process this while he's still lurking around.

Ellie and Victor have a lot to do before his house is livable again, and that means spending a lot of money -- Ellie's money.

Plus, there's that whole cheating thing to work out.

Kenneth and Armando are great dads together, but they're not quite on the same page when it comes to growing their family.

Steven's hypocrisy so annoys Alina that she tells her mother about his sexual history.

1. Jenny Slatten and Sumit Singh

Jenny slatten hugs deepali how are you
Jenny meets up with Deepali, one of a small number of female friends whom she has made in India. We should keep in mind that she was only with Sumit for so long before the COVID-19 pandemic forced everyone into lockdown, and that between that, being an outsider, and moving while in India, it's hard to make friends as an adult. But it's good that she has Deepali, because Jenny wants to talk about what Sumit's parents have planned.

2. Deepali is totally Team Jenny & Sumit, but ...

Deepali but i wont say that sumits mother is wrong
As much as she loves her friends as a couple, she knows where Sumit's parents are coming from because hers would likely say the same if she had an age gap like theirs.

3. She can, at least, reassure Jenny

Deepali to jenny slatten thats i think a cultural difference mil
When Deepali was married, she tells Jenny, her mother-in-law moved in with them for about half a year. She explains that this is normal in India because families are so interlocked. This doesn't entirely address Jenny's concerns, but it does reassure her that this isn't a hostile move in the exact same way that it would be in the United States. (In the US, a mother-in-law or frankly a mother announcing that she's going to live with you and tell you exactly how to live your life would be a declaration of war, and the common sense response would be to seriously discuss going no-contact with her)

4. Sumit is way ahead of her

Sumit singh they can sleep in our bedroom
Back at home, they have ordered a new set of furniture to create a guest room with brand new cabinets and a brand new bed ... but Sumit worries that it's not enough, and says that they should offer his parents their bedroom if that will make them more comfortable. Jenny privately tells the camera that she hopes that Sahna and Anil will decline.

5. Sumit says that adapting to some cultural norms could help

Unfortunately, one of those norms is waking up extremely early -- before dawn, at 5 or 6 in the morning.

6. Jenny's reaction is understandable

Jenny slatten does not want to wake up before dawn for no reason
It's not that Americans don't wake up that early. We absolutely do -- if it's part of our chosen routine, or if we have kids, or if we ARE kids going to school, or of course if we're being paid to get up early for work. But Jenny has been enjoying living her life happily after many years of working hard, and the idea of sacrificing this happiness to appease Sumit's parents is really not welcome.
