Wow forum has been popping today!!! Upset I’m missing out 😂 been running around and now have a headache so took some medicine and sat down to breathe and check the forum 😂.
Ok so just something quick, I agree and don’t believe that they fear DK because he’s some scary tyrant. If they do have any fear, it’s more like a worry of hurting his feelings or to avoid his anger, which is something we have when we deal with family or anyone in general (those close to us). DK earned his stature through love and respect. If it was just the fear of him, they would not talk highly of him otherwise. They genuinely respect him and acknowledge his sacrifices and contributions for their family. Then, when he got married, Mai continued to do the same with him. We love and respect our parents and don’t behave in a manner they wouldn’t approve of out of the fear of the consequences that they would bestow upon us. That is the fear that is shown here. When you live in a joint family, there are difference of opinions and just too many view points in general, usually (not always though) the eldest is given the respect to have that final say. Just my thoughts here
