Do u agree with Anjies stand?

its a no for me...the way anji said ki mummy will take care of that..seemed as if her responsibility gets over by giving birth and thats all she can and she will do...baki ka to her mom is dere...instead her answer shud have been me and ranga will manage somehow...and moreover mummy is dere na...her mom has a supporting role here ansd anj the lead but from her words it seemed just the other way round..

It is a fact that in most of the urban houses grand parents are expected to look after the kids. Funny part is Girl's parents are willing to look after their daughters child but unhappy to take the responsibility of their daughter in law's child(which is of course of their son too). This is the common picture in Maharashtra and not in North india. I feel this happens because here first deliver is at mother's place and not at in-laws place. so ther is a lot of affection and bonding between grand mother and daughter's child as they are together for almost 5 months .Two months before delivery and 3 months after delivery.
Anji's stand is wrong I dont agree because
our parents have already taken care of us and sacrificed so many things for us. now when they are old its time for them to live relaxed life, Enjoy their retired life without any responsibilities and compulsions. They must have freedom to fulfill their hobbies and other dreams. If we need them in emergency they will always come to help us but we should not buden them any more for our enjoyment. We are young and must be responsible for our married life and family.

Guys ..yesterday .. during the baby talk.. a very pertinent issue was raised by Nidhi to Anjie.. as in..if she realises what a big responsibility kids are and that if she has planned how she will manage a kid with her career...! Anjies matter-of-fact reply that.. her mom will manage the kids.. was something that is very reflective of many urban homes ...!

Tell me..do u agree with Anjies stand? If yes... then why? If no. .then why not?

dont know what to answer😕

Voted for No
but sadly this is the Stand of today's Generation, but i think slowly Slowly Anji will learn what is the meaning of Being a Mom.

I believe.. these are the contrasts..that the maker wishes to highlight..

i totally disagree with anji..and i felt bad for that statement made by her...a baby is the parents responsibility and not the grandparents...and talking about todays generation i dont know i mean i am also from this generation but for me my priority would always be my family and most of all my baby...

Very valid issue Tanu and a very relevant one.

I for one definitely did not like Anji's flippant answer that her mom will take care of the baby.

It seemed to be very immature and liked Nidhi's words of caution, that a child needs to be given the time and care.

You can not take anyone for granted, even if it is your parents. That's what Anji's answer smirked off.

I see this around me being in the field of education, grandparents getting harassed and bogged down by these responsibilities.

A grandparent is meant to be a grandparent enjoy their time with their graandchildren. There is no harm if they pitch in to help out but certainly can not become the primary caregivers. I am not against career women, I am one too but we need to make sure we don't take our parents, in-laws for granted.

In the long run, children lose out on their parents and grandparents on their fun with grandchildren.

We need to handle the whole scenario with mutual respect and understanding.
