I SMILE AT A LOVELY CHILD BECAUSE THERE'S A MOTHER BEHIND WHO WASHES THE LITTLE ONE'S DIRTY LINEN!



The Little One of the big joint family was too noisy around and the Mom was doubly of that in controlling the boy's activities. In the process, she was getting tired beyond..

But the social pressures around her were not less and at times were demanding beyond the lady's energies and were sitting on her nerves tight with the comments from her family members going around thus..

• "It takes just a few hrs for you to finish this job. The child will be taken care by us as you get into this. Why are you not listening to what we tell?"

• "It's equally your responsibility to take care of these matters. Don't say my child alone is important. We too are there to care of your child!" 

• "I want to take care of the Little One for a while. Why don't you leave him and relax?"

• "You can't say that you'll be with the child all the time. There are other works too waiting to be done!"

The lady no doubt used to bear all that to a certain extent but when her energies started running out, she used blurt out and a few times silently cry within herself. All that conflict was going on thus around but her child care all along was going on 100% without an inch of deviation..

The elderly well-wisher of the family, a man of certain wisdom having observed the behavior of the family members, at length could not control himself beyond and on a fine day said,

"Dear all! Of late, I'm seeing you all repeatedly pointing out the young mother for neglect of her duties in other areas singly sticking to her child. Please tell me, why are you all up with your anger on her in this pointing-out?"

"What's that we asked her, here? We are just saying that, every mother brings up her child, that's not all the life. She should care for the greater family members too along with her child care. That's all, we are telling. Otherwise, it's not good for her!"

Said a member annoyed by the extra support given to the lady by the elderly. The elderly man smiled and said,

• "Dear! Please understand that whatever be the importance you have in respect of certain works to be done by the lady at this stage, is really not there for her and she has every discretion of deciding in this and openly say 'NO' to all. She is 100% correct here and you are none to decide on that course of action for her..

• If she with all ease and peace of mind decides to do any secondary work other than her child care, it's her wish..

• To tell you openly, other than caring for herself and her child at this point of time, there's no such great sacred work in front of her which she is failing to do and she can refuse to attend to a critical requirement elsewhere too if that is going to create a deficiency in her child care..

• The decision of what to do, what not to do, when to do, where to do etc.. etc.. in this regard should purely be left to her wish and we should be by her side equally honoring her decision and helping her out where required..

• Anything less of this is never good for our family now and it's better we all rise to this one time requirement presently in front of us and act accordingly!"
