There are certain things in our society or our community, that makes our jaw drop!!!
One thing that is widely spread is that the husband earns while the wife cooks and cleans up after him like the big ass grown baby he is!!! Even when both of them earn, the lady cooks and cleans.
Sounds like a shit show?
Want to bring about a change? At least I wanted to do something for me.. I was pretty sure that I was not going to be leading my mother's life.. You know the regular serial Wala bahu life where she cooks and cleans and the father character kicks up a fuss about the cooking… the salt is Kam.. Jyada Hai chilli… 🙄🙄🙄
Little did I know about our society when I got married a couple of years ago. I was a naive,… oh sooo naive woman, yet a confident woman who thought that she could bring upon a change on a small scale… sounds good right? Atleast it did back then.. So I started speaking up to my dad, for the first time in my life (I wanted to kick myself soo bad for not summoning the courage to speak up earlier) when he asked me to learn to cook, so that I can impress my inlaws and my husband …BTW I am a dependant woman struggling to get my career on the road.
When my husband and I were dating I was clear that everything would be 50-50
My husband is a very sweet guy. Bless his heart and soul. He always stood by me and helped me out.
So once I got married the whole wo looked rosy and perfect I was absolutely sure nothing would go wrong… in fact I was not even feeling homesick 🤷♀️
I was on my marriage high….
As time slowly passed I noticed the changes and the challenges posed my way
God… little did i know that I was playing with forces beyond my Ken. 🙄
You think that this is going to be the same boring story that every family faces?
Why yes it is..but on a spiritual level many women, girls can relate to me when I tell you that I wanted to yell at my father or husband or any male household member to do their own damn job.
Of course my husband understood and did what had to be done.
But I never summoned the courage to tell my father that he is a grown man and he my mother is not a maid!!!
To this day I wished I had told him that.. Still I can't stand up to him.
Eventually I did..
To be followed!! With a twist ❤️☺️
