the kids

I am sorry if I offend any fans here. I am only stating my opinion, so don't bash me.

Being the mother, I do think Ragini probably had a tougher time bringing her kids up. What with supporting a family of mother, two kids and nani. She has obviously worked and toiled hard to give her kids the life they have today. She has obviously turned pragmatic and cold over the years, because it's not easy for a woman to be divorced, raise two kids on her own, go out and work and earn money, and have two other people banking on her for support, one of whom has a debilitating disease like Alzheimer's. It definitely takes a toll on a person physically and mentally. It doesn't seem like she had any other close family or friend helping her out, except for Dr. Aman. Even though Ragini is so egoistic and almost annoying in her interactions with most people, I kind of sympathize with her. So, in a way, I feel she has gone way out of line to give her kids a good upbringing, without compromising on their needs. I don't think she is emotionally very attuned to them, but she has definitely done enough to guarantee their education and future prospects.

COmpared to her upbringing, the kids are really bratty, if I may say so. She has definitely been a more involved parent than Nachiket, and yet her kids treat her so shabbily. They are ungrateful, immature and dissatisfied little brats. Usually, in a single home family, especially with single moms, the children are very very protective of their mother, and are very emotionally attached to her. They grow up seeing their mom's struggles, and her daily efforts to give them a good life, by compromising on her own needs and desires. The kids revere their moms in such a case and are very anti-father, if the dad has not been around at all to help or keep in touch. But Ragini's kids are very pro-Nachiket ( even though he has done zilch for them till now) and they are always so unhappy and dissatisfied with whatever Ragini does for them. I wish sometimes she would put them in their place, instead of getting so emotionally broken at their crappy and insulting behavior. If I were here, Nishi and Aarav both have recieved a bunch of slaps till now.

Compare that to Nachiket's side of kids. He has technically been shown to be an absent father. Pam has literally brought them up. For Nachiket's benefit, he has had support in Pam, who has taken over a mother's role for his children, unlike Ragini, who has brought them up on her own, without anyone taking the father's role for them. He has been shown to ignore his kids in the earlier episode due to his busy lifestyle and his own emotional issues. But, yes, he has given them an upbringing that has all materialistic comforts, even though they majorly lack emotional attachment with their father. Yet, his kids, do not seem to complain much about his behavior, and are always looking to please him and get him to acknowledge them, especially Suhani. They don't humiliate him, or insult him or create a ruckus if things don't go their way. They are much better behaved and more mature, especially Suhani and Agam.

I wonder if money makes kids more satisfied in life, or is an emotional relationship with their mother/father. I would think in reality, Ragini;s kids would have been mature, understanding and attached to their mom, while Neil's should have been bratty, dissatisfied and arrogant little punks. This show has it so opposite.

Hated Nishi today again. She should be married off and let go so that poor Ragini has one less idiot to worry about. And Aarav should have been sent to America so that he can get all his money oriented desires, and then wait for Nachiket to shower some attention and love on him that Ragini definitely did. Then he would realize. As for Ragini, she should just loosen up, and live her life, rather than getting insulted all the time from her ungrateful family. Even Sunny tai sunaoes her for no reason. Ugh.

Love Agam and Suhani! They are total sweethearts.

All kids should have been shown as nice kids who are craving to be with both parents. They should have bonded together by now (it's been so long they have been in the same city) and started planning how to bring their parents together.

beautifully written...

Well written. Nishi and arav, they behave so bad with their mother. They don't care how their mother would feel. In today's episode, Nishi crossed all limits. I thought girls are vere sensible and understanding and Nishi proved it wrong.

Very well written. You have brought out all valid & realistic emotions & reasons.

Excellent post. Nishi was awful today, would give her some leeway though because she is a teen in love and has just lost her spineless fiance. She has been rather insolent throughout, hope she realizes her mother's pain and turns into a sympathetic and supporting daughter soon.

As for Aarav, he seems to see-saw, he did apologize to his mom for wanting to leave her for worldly possessions that his dad can provide. Seeing his sibling enjoying what could be his as well at that age might cause a kid to sway momentarily in loyalty.

But for the most part, raised by a single mother and having witnessed her struggles, one would expect to see both kids more attuned to her emotions and thinking. Obviously, the split happened because Ragini believes Neil cheated on her, if so, the kids should rightfully hate their dad. Unless Ragini has kept that a secret.

Ranbir seemed to have had an epiphany when Agam kept praising their mom and citing her as the reason Ranbir is free. Hope the glimpse of arrested shock/understanding on Ranbir's face lasts and that Pam and Nivedita do not feed him more poison to believe his mother had an ulterior notice in making sure he was set free.

Oh and Ragini supports Sunny Tai as well. How ironical !

I have not seen today's episode but to be honest I don't find the kids to be behaving very unusually. I will not blame them at all. They are all suffering because of a broken relationship for which their parents are to be blamed, not them.

This is why I stopped watching the show. The cvs have been a big let down in character sketch. They are just interested in making the story spicy and have not delved deep into the psych of a person/ character. There is no realism or anything relatable to the characters.
