Being responsible........

So a guy is responsible to take care of the finances by himself…if he somewhat depends on parents,siblings,in-laws or lives in parents house etc etc…

he is always termed here as
not a real man,
mama’s boy,
not cutting the apron strings…etc

so…

does it hold true for working women too??

who depend on their parents,mil,siblings when it comes to taking care of kids/house??

Re: Being responsible........

I know alot of tamatars r gonna be thrown at me for this but like always i am of the same opinon that the women's first and foremost duty is to look after her home/family but if circumstances are such that she can't do it, then her family has to support her in taking care of the kids/home. However, its no ehsan as after all what is family for? we have to be there for each other.

Same goes for the guy, if he is jobless even after trying his best then there is no harm with his family supporting him as long as he doesn't become dependent on them for good.

Basically its about how you are tackling your situation.

Re: Being responsible........

I don't think there's anything wrong with men being close to their parents as long as he isn't being unjust with his wife to be close to his parents. It doesn't have to be one or the other...you can have both.

There are double standards I guess. But its like that for women too. A guy gets divorced and he is plucked up in the next six months with or without kids but the ex-wife is viewed as a woman with baggage. 29 for a guy is young but in desi terms 29 is ancient for a woman.

Its life...we deal with the double standards all our lives...cooking/cleaning is a woman's job...bachon ki dekh bhal is a woman's job...blah blah blah. Agar aap logon ko thora sa deal karna parega double standards se to koi pahar nahin tootega.

Re: Being responsible…

hain?? did you just say there was a double standard? :eek:

Re: Being responsible........

If a 30 year old woman says "mujhe mommy se poochna hai ye kaam karne se pehle"...it might be considered cute by some guy.

If a 30 year old man says "mujhe mommy se poochna hai ye kaam karne se pehle" with a choosni and all...no one will think its cute.

I asked my parents last weekend if I could go on a vacation with my friends...they said flat out no. Tum larki ho. Akeley hum kaise bhej dein and all that.

That's life.

Re: Being responsible........

Well if you think about it, if a 30 year old woman says the same thing with a 'choosni and all' no one will think its cute either

Re: Being responsible........

lol...haha i was gonna say the same thing!

but still her point is valid, even without a chooosni the reaction wud be quite the same.

Re: Being responsible........

I don't know about others but I do ask (or tell depending upon situation) my parents about any thing important. I don't feel its childish or anything and frankly dont even care what others think

Re: Being responsible........

are you a man or woman?

Re: Being responsible…

And that is the way it should be :k: .

Re: Being responsible........

Die

Re: Being responsible…

Wasn’t the thread about depending on others(family) rather than asking permission:konfused:?

Re: Being responsible…

exactly…it wasn’t about permission…its about depending/taking their help…

Re: Being responsible…

Then why are they talking about permission:grumpy:

Re: Being responsible........

That was my fault.

Okay so going back to the topic...

You want to know if its unfair?

Yes it is.

Re: Being responsible........

Does he want to know the reason?
