Just read the discussion about helping Aai. Here are my 2 cents. Its easier for a working mother to ask and get help from the family members (MIL, FIL, kids and hubby). Typically if you are home maker then you are left on your own. Many stay at home mothers (including my own 😔) think that its their responsibility to take care of home and everybody living there.
Something that bothers me and is a work in progress with my Aai is that anytime I'm away from home attending a conference, my Aai feels that my husband has obliged me by 'running the house' for a few days. But if he's away on a business trip, Aai won't worry about how I manage taking care of home, kids and work.
This is true. My mother is homemaker too. We have to normalise many things for a mother or a wife. It's okay if a lady takes rest for a day..it's okay if she is not able to give tiffin to kids or husband for a day.our culture is such that they make women guilty of not doing things for family. We have to treat such women as human and not superwomen.
My mother has bit of aru in her😆she likes to do all things by her. Most of the time she doesn't even ask for help. at least now we have given some confidence to her that we can do few things nicely..not perfect like her...but still better😆
Fortunately my baba always help my mother. He buys veggies and do the cleaning of it.
If I have to talk about my kaki.. then she is Home maker too.. 😆
My kaki is more strict than my simple aai😆my Kaka is extra helpful than my baba😆kakana masala vatata yeto..ani basic cooking pan changli yete..so pahune yenar astil tar kakina kakanchi barich help hote
I have two cousin brothers. One is in 10th now n other one is in last year of graduation college. One brother put the clothes in washing machine and other one helps in drying the clothes. One does mopping. In the evening when my kaki completes her cooking she sits in hall and kids brings all food in hall to eat together. So basically they have assigned duties 😆
Sometimes women has to be demanding too. It's okay to ask for help from your kids or husband.
My kaki is demanding women not extreme one but bit may be like Kanchan. My mother is bit like aru but like bhetu punha said mulana swatahun aaila madad karnyachi savay hi asayla havi..so tashi savay amhala swatahun lagli ani ata Mazi aai bindhast amahala Kam sangte😆
