Thank you, Rishita, for being the voice of reason in the family. I know you are self-centred but thank you for voicing out every progressive womanās approach.
She was indeed guilty and crying like crazy. I agree that a person with special needs has to be taken care of as a baby, but that brings adult diapers.
Sorry, but adult diapers are not for the caretaker's convenience but also the patient.
It's incredibly convenient and is a blessing for a lot of women who have incontinence post-delivery too. There's a lot of innovation in disability care, and it's not to give ease to caretakers only.
It gives confidence, self-dependence and control to a lot of patients.
So, the problem lies with you people, Dhara and clan.
One man doesn't want to take up an extra job to support financially because of whatnot.
A woman wants to take up the job, and all they can sermonise her is chores and dual responsibility. It's as if they are teaching the Gen Z bahus that one needs to be a Superwoman.
It is now coming to basic skills like cooking and house maintenance. I will be the devilās advocate. It's okay to know the basics; it's okay to keep evolving and learning. But, it's not okay to tell women that they have to take care of the family. All have this responsibility together.
If she is good at earning money for the family, then why not. Let her be the financial breadwinner. Will you ask the men to stop going to work or do extra housework if they work outside the house?
No, right?
Men don't belong to the kitchen.
50k extra.
A maid will cost 2k, and a 24*7 cook/helper, let's say another 10k
Still 40k extra. The world will not crumble if the people aren't fed warm rotis and bhabhi ka khana.
No, ADULT DIAPERS IS NOT EQUAL TO HUMILIATION.
Instead of enabling regressive thoughts of the older generation, one needs to reinforce constantly progressive beliefs to the older generation.
Enabling whims and fancies makes their own life difficult.
