If the reader is trying to influence youngsters saying this is how majority of the young couples think. Am sorry you are wrong. Don't blow things up and say this is how young couples think. Majority of them think the opposite of what you have quoted. You pitiful creature have to learn a lot.

You know you're right Ravinder we do have the widows of Vrindavan which is something I'm really proud of.
when we mention sons, brothers, family, associates we are talking about real western culture not ours!!!
First india does not have good looking girls and second most of parents are more talented than these new indian chicks!!! why we take liability of these girls those does not cooking, does not have respect for boy's parents, asks husband to press legs, on top of that seeks alimony too and brings zero dowry too!!

Indian girls not beautiful?? Which country you reside at?? And who do you think you are?? Hrithik Roshan??
Asking for dowry is a crime but you seem to be its favor. Talented? Are you getting married or setting up a career using the dowry money?
Dear Neha,Com, The current western civilization is individualistic in nature. And again - I am not saying everything in the current Indian culture is better. We definitely have issues to resolve. But when it comes to family values - we are pretty far ahead of them. Lets take the best of every culture. I cannot for a moment think of leaving my aged parents like orphans. Today they are like my kids. I love them, pamper them like kids. You gotta see the happiness in my mom's eyes...thats worth billions. Trust me.

what is wrong with individualism, everybody is entitled to their own lives. We indians stand on our parents money, we spend millions to get an education and work hard to get a job, get arranged marriages, and worry about caste, state, religion etc. Instead, lets leave our children to go independent, work and get higher education on their own merits. Then no job will be lower and give them, guts to live. If you take care of your parents its great, but majority don't. Look at the stories in the media, widows of Vrindavan etc. Lets not make them something who need to look after us and then looked after by them. give them facilities and let them live life to the fullest.

in fact my grandmother had Alzheimer and it was tiring for my mother and father to look after her. they hired a care giver and they were happier, but she stayed with us but in the west, they woudl have a nursing home or hospice and their loved ones would go to visit and not worry about the future
what if these payrents had dumped u on road after giving birth to you , as a big part of thier life and thier money was spent on upbringing you where u or your husban/wife stand now?
or had they kicked u out house for asking for to many things ?

Either you do not give birth to children, or if you do, take care of them. Children do not come into this world on their own, they are brought in by their parents. And therefore the parents have moral duty to take care of them.
Abaka, you need to understand, it is time we accept our parents as normal people and couples, who can enjoy life. they need not stay with us, but try to live independently and carry on with their daily routine. in the west, nobody gives up their life once they hit sixty, they travel, they have hobbies, they work, they go for parties etc and parents are not something to kept at home. Staying with parents is an outdated idea. moreover expecting parents to give up their life savings so that you would or would not look after them also should be eradicated. live life and live well

Dear Neha, I thoroughly understand what you are saying - and in many families these things happen. Am I supporting them...No. I condone them. My point is just this - resolve the issues and stay together. We dont need our parents to live in old age homes just because we are not mature enough to resolve our differences! This article is ridiculing the very idea of staying with parents.

Abaka, did you even read what I posted? You obviously did not. If the situation is resolvable, then it is okay. But a lot of times, it is not. Today's older generation is unreasonable, they want a working daughter-in-law - one who brings a fat pay cheque, one who does not spend too much - rather one who spends on what they want her to, not on what she wants to, be obedient to them, should cook 365 days of the year, whether she is sick or not - nothing counts for them. That being the case, let them live life on their own terms. I was talking about people like that, not about parents who understand their kids and give them some space. Is it wrong to even check if they are the type I am describing before marriage, is that wrong? It is a very relevant question and there is nothing wrong in it.

in west, there are numerous facilities given to elderly people. such as free bus, train and other transports... free medical checkups.. free trips to diff places.. then their are minimum wages.. in west, parents don't give a penny to their kids after they cross 18 yrs age.. so, we cannot compare.. also, it's our responsibility and love to take care of parents after certain age.. it's risky to leave them alone at home.. they need help in daily household activities.. in india, people usually don't respect adults.. this attitude needs change.. more movies like Baghban should come..

Neha in West higher education is no funded by payrents. like in india. children leave house in teenage only and earn and feed themself.
and thier children words are hard but thier repect for payrents and in laws is much higer.
