Hello all,
Just wondering if we all are thinking from the POV of the kids. I am not trying to debate who is a better person or will be a better influence on the kids.
Based on what we have seen so far -
- Bani's kids were snatched from her at a tender age of .5 days (based on what was shown).
- They say the biggest bond between a mother and a child is the mother's milk. In this case the JB kids did not get to experience this bond
- Instead they found a mother in Rano (dadi and masi maybe but no concrete evidence). And they always had their father's love and affection, despite him being in a slump or watever. So to them so far the parents have been Jai and Rano.
- However, they were raised to know their mom. I am guessing that Jai/Rano did the needful so that they could always know their mom, if not meet her. This is also evident from the fact they they recognized Bani and accepted her without questions asked.
- But someone has been doing the opposite. Atharva once asked if Bani did not love them (someone mentioned something to him I am guessing) and hence left them when they were small.
Based on this my conclusion is that the only stable factors in the childrens lives so far have been Rano and Jai. For kids aged 5, will it be okay to be suddenly moved from this known environment to another which completely unknown to them. Is it fair to the kids?
We are all discussing what environment will be good for the kids to grow up? AD's house or WM? But the fact remains none is better than the other. Personally, the kids grew up to this age just fine in WM. Also, there exists a bond (irrespective of the nature of it) between the kids and the habitants of WM.
We are dicussing who the kids should stay with? Jai or Bani or Both? Agreed, from the current scenario, it will be one or the other. (I see bleak chances of JB together for the time being.) But what do the kids want? Isn't it a medical belief that for a growing child, the influence of both parents and a stable household is necessary.
I am not trying to argue ADs ability of being a surrogate/adoptive parent. I have not seem his "parental" skills. But I have seen JW's and I can say for sure that he has been a competent father so far.
Bani is just learning to be a mother (I wish just giving birth made you a mother - prime example Pia or Jigs). And she is still trying to create the bond between herself and the kids. In this scenario, would it be right for such young kids to be removed from their familiar settings to a new setting? One where they barely know anyone and are still learning to cope with the existence of their real mother.
I sometimes wonder if Bani is thinking like a mother or as the woman who was deceived by her husband and had her babies snatched or just as Durga? Yes she wants to take revenge from JW and I am all in support, but would she be unknowingly hurting the kids in this process? Will she as a mother, being doing what is best for her kids?
But again, this is drama so I guess it is okay to revenge urself by doing unto others what they did to you. Who cares what the effects on the innocents are?
I for one was always taught that if you do what someone did to you, you are worse since you are doing it despite knowing the aftereffects and the sufferings.😕
Dont you think at this point both JW and DDG/BD/BW/whoever she is needs to start thinking of what binds them even today? Think of what they would need rather than their own personal needs?
