Being rude is one thing. He has been harping on this for a while now, but the fact is that he still didn't ask her as to what happened. And if we look at it, Minnie was loud and rude to her during the selfish wala comment. With this whole Mickey fiasco, she has remained calm and spoken to her rationally. Even though her statements may not have been completely correct, her tone was much lower compared to Babita's. She was wrong to not pick up Babita's phone calls, so I'm okay with HS calling her out on that too. But Babita needed to be scolded too. To compare her teenage daughter to Meeta, and then humiliate not just her but also her friends? Come on, that's not right either.
I don't think Babita understood that. She just saw HS going too far with the house wala comment. I mean, isn't this what she wanted? What else did she expect was going to happen? And then the constant looks she was giving to Minnie's room and crying? Just why?? She already hurt Minnie so much and then on top of that she provoked HS even more and he yelled at his chhori even more and it's just all so messed up now.
This is what I'm trying to say. There are multiple problems here: Minnie's rudeness and temper, Babita and Minnie having fights and HS not knowing all the details, Babita and Minnie's differences in opinions.
The point of this "talk" of his was not about the subject matter of the fight. It was about establishing authority and reminding both of them actually that there needed to be discipline and decency in the house.
To address the subject matter, there needs to be other talks or one-on-one sessions to deal with that specifically between Hanita and Hannie, but most important between Babita and Minnie. No matter how many times HS intervenes, it doesn't change the fact that mother-daughter have to discuss things. He cannot be policing them all the time (pun intended).
My point is not whether each of them is wrong or right. My point is that the reason/theme of this scolding was for a sole purpose from HS' point of view: to establish some order in this madhouse.
Do you know what I mean, Gur?
