In my view there is no need for Anandi to stay with Shiv separately from others in Udaipur. When we used to be kids we did mistakes, did our parents sent us to hostel? The same logic applies here. She should do something which is more meaningful. The kitchen can be taken care of by the household help.
In my view, people like Ira and Sanchi can be pretty easily tackled as they are brainless. I do have a Sas and Nanad like them.
1. Keep yourself busy 24 hours.
2.Have minimum conversation with them.
3. Whenever they ask your opinion, talk to them superficially. "I have no time", "I have no knowledge", "It's not my concern" blah blah blah.
I feel like laughing how an ex-Sarpanch like Anandi can not tackle these 2 ladies. She might have tackled much more difficult situations in the village Panchayat. She should learn to manage them properly. In future she would have kids too. Its always better to have a full-fledged family where kids can grow up with grand-parents rather than with a Nanny.
Many of you have suggested that "Is there no value being a house wife?". My opinion is definitely "Yes". But in my opinion every female should work. The reasons are as below.
1. You always have enough money at hand, future remains secured. You learn to be independent which boosts your self confidence. There is no need for females to handover their earnings to the husband/mom-in-law. The laws protect us. The organization pays us in our salary account. So whom we are afraid of? In worst case we have to stay separately with kids. Trust me, men are more scared to face consequences than females are laws are female supportive 😊
2. If your family life is not up to your expectation, you find an outlet to spend some time may be with your good colleagues.
3. Empty mind is a devil's workshop. So we all need to do something useful. Granted that first few years its difficult to manage with family and kids. But what we all gonna do once children grow up and go to hostel?
4. The Govt. spends so much of money on each of our education. By getting higher degrees and not utilising means we are wasting the resources. I got friends who did their higher education from IITs and immediately got married. Had babies and then turned full time housewives. The same seat might have gone to someone more needy.
