Mani ji, Vijayasankar ji mother-in-laws-tongue improves indoor air quality by removing toxins such as nitrogen oxide and formaldehyde and is kept in many houses because it is also undemanding. I think many daughter-in-laws would accept mother-in-laws-tongue. Just use earplugs. BTW. my mother-in-law was good to me and my hubbys mother-in-law was good to him too!

I had this plant long ago, I don't think it brought me any ill luck, (I don't believe in these things anyway). I got rid of it long back because of the thorns. In fact at Chrismastime these plants are sold in many nurseries.
