Tense free life

( In cases where both parents work )
Happy Joint Family ==>
Morning 05 - 07 am Bath, Prayers, snacks preparation
09am - 03pm : At work place ( devoted to work )
( one can seriously do good work at this time. Even people working 14 hrs at workplace spend atleast eight hours in gossiping or sleeping or atleast waiting for someone some work / file to be handed over or canteen etc.)
04pm - 06 pm spending time with kids, grandparents, elders
Next half an hour : prayer
Tv / computer for next 1 hour
Food preparation, cleaning followed by
Chatting about olden days with friends and relatives at home / outside ( not at workplace ), teaching children good habits, cultivating them to be honest, go to bed by 10 pm and avoid late night movies.
This is my opinion.
I find the families who adopt this have a charm in their face and are free of tension.

it is very difficult for the boy and the girl , because both are living in a situation where what is value based living is not known to them. living with parents either girl parents or boy parents no it is very difficult for them, adjustment and give and take policy , no it is not by one day lecture you can learn, people those lived with grand parents and now living with parents can only teach this subject, it is very difficult particularly in flat system,

Do not mistake by assuming the role of your parents to take care of your child. if you have guts to take care of your child on your own then only go for a child else not. You must take care of your parents and keep them happy at this age not put them in problems.

Blame it on Jobs
by roy on Dec 13, 2011 01:16 PM

Todays jobs are cumbersome. With advent of software industry, time spent on job is high with the remaining time spent in worrying about next day. For this situation to change, working hours at job must be reduced and made tense free. Then either mother or father can spend time cooking / bringing up the child.

stay in joint families

Earlier the duities to run a family were divide- man will earn and give financial security and female will look after the house i.e. kitchen, kids, shopping, socially. The old father earns also and old mother helps in house. The the family run happily.
Now women have started working also.This adds to extra income. But many other problems crops up. How can an old mother alone look after all the responsibilies. It is easy to say but very tough to take care of young kids especially for those who have crossed 50's. Some manage to do so with some domestic help like servant but then they cannot teach kids as well as parents who are upto date to society.Kids cannot be left with servants alone, so the old lady is 24 hrs bound to them. No life of her. and if grand father is retired , he too has to join the same duty. And if anything happens wrong with the child i.e hurted, get into bad company etc,etc.., then again the old couple has to face the blame.
I think the problem comes more if the female is working long hours asy 9 to 6 or 7 ( including return time from office).The best option for females is a short time job when their kids are below 10 years age and after they may pursue with their ambitions. For this teaching line is quite suitable. Go with ur kids to school and come back with kids from school. No burden on anyone.The school of kids and mother may differ, but the timmings are almost same 8 to 2 or 3.
