Agree with you partially, the serial does go over board sometime but that is quite natural for a daily soap. But regarding Rajshri,she is a mother and a mother is always worried about her daughter. I am 40 and I am married for twenty years now but still my mother is very much concerned about me. She does call me everyday and she does complain that I work a lot, she asks me to come home (mother's place) to have some rest. I can completely relate to Rajshri's character
Just MPV
I can relate somewhat to what you are saying. Personally I want my daughters to have no pressure from me and I want them to enjoy and live their life. I don't want to be an interfering mom. Girls have many roles. Daughters, wives, mothers, dil, ... and I respect that my kids may not have time for me as much as their responsibilities and relationships increase. If they are healthy and happy what more can we ask for.
At the empty nest stage (I'm in my mid 40"s and my kids are away at college)I would like to have my own hobbies and do all the things I was never free to do while raising children. Everyone has a different outlook on this. You can live for your kids but you have to get up every morning and have your own interests to fulfill too. I have faith in my relationship with them. We don't have to talk everyday but they know that I am available for them whenever it is needed. I don't want to be known as their mother only, I want to work on my personal goals too. (joining a new job or some other interest) I want my own identity too.
