All i want to talk about here is that I'm team Ansh. Yes I know he is spoilt, and yes he can be a brat, but you know what he's an only child and that too the only kid in a house of all adults. So yeah he was indulged a bit. But we have seen that ansh can be a very well behaved boy if given the opportunity. Yet every chance he does something "wrong' in the eyes of the sindiyas (btw it wasnt wrong at the only home he's ever known) he does what any intelligent child does, he inquires. But instead of given a logical explanation (yes 5 year olds do understand logic) he either gets yelled at by virtual strangers or he gets told "just because" now. I"m am NOT 5 years old, but even I hate that answer of "just because". So to tell you the truth the whole Sindhiya family is at fault. They do NOT treat ansh the way they want their granddaughters to be treated. Yes PP are well behaved, but guess what it's the world they grew up in it's the only world they know. So of course they wouldnt act out, plus they are girls, and they have each other, oh and lets not forget, they are the laadlis of EVERYONE.
So yes ansh is feelin left out. And so he does what any kid would do he acts out. Heck its worked out in the past (we all know aarti would placate him immediately). But instead of Yash doing discipline in a stern matter he first lets DM and Panks try their hands. And when ansh is so fed up by the lack of respect he goes full out tantrum mode. And once again instead of gently telling ansh (yes i think Gentleness works wonders on small kids, he wasnt crying nor was he yelling he was simply beating a spoon on the table) he straight up yells and basically tells ansh that he's a bad kid and a disappointment. Now you tell me how would you feel if your hero, scratch that your SUPER hero told you you were a disappointment? You'd be pissed and hurt.
So you know I think aarti was right in her approach with her son. Besides stubborness is NOT beaten out, you need to explain and show. And so she gently inquired whats up with ansh and let him express his feelings. Then she came back in a way i think all mothering should be done. She came back with a lesson. She didn't justify his actions, nor did she cuddle him. She simply explained that this is the reason she had warned him to behave and to not be so stubborn. What is so wrong with her methods? IT's the way a teacher would approach a student. And her acting out the yelling at yash, well she never actually planned on doin that. She was simply cheering up her child. Yeh he was being pushy and she kept going along but you know what? He'd just gotten schooled over and over by his grandma, his super dad so yeh i'd indulge him a little with some acting. Plus we all know those were things she REALLY did want to say to the whole sindhiya family so she simply vented in a creative manner. You can tell she never intended to say those words to yash when she caught him in the room. But then ansh called her bluff so she daat-ed him. And it was obvious with her eyes that she was apologizing for her words. But she was yelling b/c she'd PROMISED her son. And she wasnt going to break a promise. So she said it. Yash is an adult he should be able to take the hit.
As for tomorrow. I do think Yash needs to give an apology. I know i know why indulge a little kid. Because yash WAS wrong. No not with disciplining him at the table, and not really for yelling (although he could have approached it differently IMO) but he needs to apoloize for NOT acknowledeging ansh at all. He never TALKS to ansh, he never spent time with ansh, and he didnt make him feel INCLUDED. (i know aarti hasnt tech had a famervention with PP, but we are shown that Sh THINKS of them for ex when she made the puris. She doesnt get to execute her plans cuz the DM is in the way)...I"m not sayin the apology is all. He SHOULD say sorry. And then explain to ansh GENTLY that there rules at the table, and BIG BOYS talk and dont yell or throw tantrums. THose few words would go miles with the young boy so desperate to be the apple of his father's eye.
K thats all for now 😆
