Agreed. The problem is with how the writers have taken their character arcs. Rhea's character has been butchered in so many ways that it's hard to reason for her.
That being said, i think Pragya alone was enough as a parent. She has a relatively grounded personality and in turn grounded parenting. It showed in Kiara and it shows in Prachi. Prachi has dealt with unexpected situations in a better way because her mind isn't as fractured as Rhea's. Having a stable parent who gives you the right kind of emotional support, security and fulfills your needs, is better than having an entire home full of people who are there but not really there in the ways that matter. Money, luxuries, attention when convenient or people fulfilling all your whims and needs don't make for a stable childhood because kids need far more than that. You can't just leave them to their own devices and let them have their way in everything. That's basically appeasing them and not parenting them.
No matter how big or small your issue is Pragya's character is likely to set aside all of her problems and give you her full attention and make you feel better. Abhi's character on the other hand is likely to be more absent both physically and mentally. You might not be able to go to him at all when you really need him. That makes a lot of difference for children and goes a long way in shaping how they react in the real world. He also uses humor to dispel the actual problem. His way is often of treating the symptom and not the problem whereas Pragya's character often tries to deal with the problem itself. This difference matters.
Rhea is all bravado. She's standing on air, without anything concrete to ground her. Whereas Prachi has a much more solid ground to stand on with an equally solid head on her shoulders that come from her mother.
Also parents always worry more for the child they feel is more destructive or problematic. They are taking Prachi for granted this way because they know she has a solid head on her shoulders and is far more settled mentally.
This is just how i think though. There is nothing logical about this show. I'm definitely putting way too much thought into this and trying to make sense of something senseless than it's healthy. Again #procrastinationFTW. I'm actually supposed to be writing an essay on polarization in democracy but here i am though, psycho babbling.
