Hi World,
I know this might be a new topic or may be even an obselete topic. Whatever, I would want to put across my thoughts and views about this.
I used to feel (may be many have similar views) that I am a working mother and it is very difficult to take care of my two kids. I also felt that my mother took good care of us as she was a home maker and always used to be at home. But, to be frank, my mother used to work more than what I do at my job. She used to do multi tasking handling people of various age groups like kids, husband, parent in laws, sister in law, etc. She could understand their needs and act accordingly. She always had time for everything though she was into cooking, cleaning, purchasing, playing with kids, care taking of her in laws.
Not to forget the contribution of my hero, my father. He worked all day long, once he came home from office at night, what a smile with lot of affection. We never saw fatigue in his face. Just imagine our condition after all day work. We are under stress, shouting on kids, getting disappointed for every small thing. But my father used to watch cartoon shows with us.
My mother used to check what are the home works given at school and my father taught us the chapters and solved our doubts.
All these would have been your experiences too. But now, we dont have time to sit with our kids to check their academic developments, to check their interests. We put them into tuitions. If they pester more, we give them mobiles and make them stay quiet. We cannot tolerate our aged in laws, we keep care takers for them.
Are we moving towards the right direction? Cant we make time as our parents did for everything? If we think through properly, we can do. We need people around us throughout our life though nuclear family is the trend of the day.
If you agree with me, please like this blog!!!
