I too hope she comes at the end of the track. She knows more about Lucky than anyone else I feel and understands him well. Hence if she comes at last during the heroic moment😆 it will be good.

I too wonder. My uncles are not bad😆 But I feel they are selfish and care for their personal life more. Or it is because of their wives. My grandmother stays with them max for one month and is back with us again.

See, honestly, there are certain things which she does, that I don't like too. But that does not mean you have to ignore them, is it? When I was Parvarish in my room, my grandmother keeps asking question especially about Raavi😆 I cannot tell her on her face not to disturb me. That is not respect and that is not what I have been taught. I either nod my head, or give her explanation or tell her I will explain in the ad break. Problem solved. It is always possible for me to make a big issue out of small things like this.

I guess people feel that it is parents duty to take care of them and not vice versa. If they give them money every month, their duty is done.

It's not that they may be inherently bad. Although, some are. Everyone is elfish, it's just that some people are much more tan others. But, it wouldn't be right of me to comment on your uncles without being familiar with the situation.

Yes, grown ups sometimes ask many questions. Even my mother asks things related to tech and stuff. I simply tell her, like you do. Or if i am watching something, I tell her that I will tell her later after I am finished with the thing. I think at that age, they just want some attention so that they feel as if they still matter. That's why they want to take an interest in the kid's lives. And it is pretty douchey of some to just shrug them off. We all want to matter, if nobody cares about you, it's pretty bad situation. Even more when you are on the brink of death.

Yes, that's a thinking that has been prevalent in the current time. Needless to say I disagree. Although it's not just about the grandparents, I see parents also behaving with kids like that. They think that after they pay the dues, their work as a parent is done.

Saves everything you type and it will be there in case of crash/page refresh/network loss. It has saved me countless times.

Definitely society changes them. They see people enjoying their independent life that they don't want their parents staying with them. Simple example: If parents are very old, there should be someone who has to be with them all the time. They cannot leave them alone. In that case they cannot spend family time together outside.

I think in some episode this line was told which I loved a lot. You should not speak to a person in in a way it will hurt you when someone does the same to you. Very true. Parents/Grandparents are always curious to know what we do, what we think. If you are not ready to answer now, patiently tell them. Sometimes if I don't like the question(especially when they ask how was work😆) I mumble something that they don't understand.😆 There are lot of ways to deal with instead of just shouting and disrespecting them.

What I wonder is, how did this system change? Yes. it was prevailing before as well when kids left their place in search of jobs and settled in cities and parents were not willing to come. But when did this responsibility changed to money. Is it because children are so educated? or does kids think parents responsibility is to spend money and educate me and my responsibility is just to earn and give it back.

Grandparents are parents' parents- so the very best people to complain to about your own parents!!😉😆 Been there done that!!😛😛

Grandparents are really wonderful in importance. They can sometimes bridge the gap of mis communication between their children and their grandchildren... In Parvarrish, the Nanu and the Daddu and Dadi shown are really there in real life... Soem are old fashioned and immature people, some are wonderful and wise! Even they can make mistakes! But they are gems and the old generation of experienced people...😊😊

When one has all three generations in the same house, there is bound to be difference of opinion...according to me the middle generation has to take charge and do the adjustments.
