Most Indian couples are doing this not by choice but are forced to do this. This is solely because the girls are not willing to take up family responsibilities like taking care of kids and parents and sometimes even cooking. To the girl their jobs come first and then their family. They also do have the tacit support of her parents in this who thinks that if the girl looses her job she will loose independence as well.

Just ask those couples in the given article as whether the they take equal care of their parents or not. I am sure not.

The only solution to all these problems is limited employment for females as for 5years. After 5 years they must retire/resign and start to look after the family.

Why not the same thing man can do if you think women don't take the responsibility. Why don't they take care of kids and parents and cook. Let the woman do the jobs? Who has said that its the responsibility of women only to do all this and men need to earn? Why don't you try to reverse this schedule? As men we want everything and for women not the same right? Men like you should first learn to respect the women.

New trend of Joint family is just to use parents for our own benefit by staying nearby or invite them when we need them especially when we have kid and need someone to take care of them.

what kind sexiest people are you guys? Why cant the guy for once take care of the responsibility and cook? Why is the guys career so important? Oh ya I know you you are the one who goes to "work" and comes home and sits and watch tv.

Amit its the 21st century how did other people in other country accomplish things working two jobs and not enough time? yes the husband and wife share equal responsibility its not like you dont share her money

sometimes parents are also selfish
by Kiran on Dec 12, 2011 06:53 PM  | Hide replies

We took good care of our parents until theri death inspite of them being stubborn all through their life. In the process we crossed 40s and we had to forgo our marriages. So much for the treasurehouse taht our culture and heritage is.A lot of relatives also gave advice on these lines but they never came to give us a helping hand. Again so much for the treasure trove. Itsbetter to leave it to the person to decide what best suits him rather than give advice for everyone.

please read the story of panduranga at pandaripur and you will realise the value of service to parents.It has to be nishkamya-without expectations!The Lord Panduranga vitthalla appeared here for this devotee, Pundalika and is there standing witness to several centuries of devotees thronging to have a glimpse of the testimony Krishna has given to a devotee for his service to aged parents.
