1. The duties <strong>have</strong> been Pre-divided
Mothers Day Quotes<br />
In <strong>India</strong>, unfortunately, even <strong>after</strong> hav<strong>in</strong>g been born <strong>in</strong> a democratic country, we are not free <strong>to</strong> take our<br />
decisions, and not even how we are go<strong>in</strong>g <strong>to</strong> run our <strong>in</strong>dividual households. Every time there will be an<br />
outside <strong>in</strong>terference! Whereas a man is entitled <strong>to</strong> take care of the household, cook, look <strong>after</strong> the<br />
children and take good care of other members of the family, the male is responsible <strong>to</strong> earn bread and<br />
butter for the family.<br />
But, the question is, what if both want <strong>to</strong> run <strong>their</strong> household <strong>in</strong> the reverse order! Ostensibly, the<br />
society will not approve the same, and eventually the family set up will collapse. The couple will f<strong>in</strong>ally<br />
end up gett<strong>in</strong>g tired off the bullies and plethora of obnoxious comments from the society.<br />
2. <strong>Women</strong> is not entitled <strong>to</strong> take her own decision<br />
Mother’s Day
And, if a woman dares <strong>to</strong> take her own decisions she might be discarded from the society, she might not<br />
be accepted <strong>in</strong> the society. The way her image has been pa<strong>in</strong>ted, she is supposed <strong>to</strong> follow the same<br />
path <strong>in</strong> her life. The <strong>in</strong>terests, the lik<strong>in</strong>gs, that she may <strong>have</strong> developed over the years, she is supposed <strong>to</strong><br />
abandon, <strong>after</strong> she is that part of her life <strong>to</strong> take up motherhood. In nutshell, she cannot decide on her<br />
own, how she is go<strong>in</strong>g <strong>to</strong> mange her child and work both. The bot<strong>to</strong>m l<strong>in</strong>e is, she has <strong>to</strong> sidel<strong>in</strong>e her<br />
<strong>career</strong> at the end or a war like situation at home is wait<strong>in</strong>g for her.<br />
3. She can be thought of be<strong>in</strong>g irresponsible<br />
Mothers Day<br />
People just even look at it <strong>in</strong> the other way!! Yes, it’s <strong>to</strong>o <strong>to</strong>ugh <strong>to</strong> manage both and when you love the<br />
two th<strong>in</strong>gs <strong>in</strong> equal amount, there is a great deal of work you will need <strong>to</strong> put <strong>in</strong><strong>to</strong> it. A mother, when she<br />
chooses <strong>to</strong> manage both, her child and her work, she should be encouraged and appreciated for the<br />
decision. But, what people start mak<strong>in</strong>g perception about the woman <strong>in</strong> <strong>India</strong> is shock<strong>in</strong>gly as<strong>to</strong>und<strong>in</strong>g.<br />
She will be tagged as be<strong>in</strong>g an “irresponsible mother”, for she is giv<strong>in</strong>g not will<strong>in</strong>g <strong>to</strong> s<strong>to</strong>p work<strong>in</strong>g <strong>after</strong><br />
giv<strong>in</strong>g birth <strong>to</strong> the child.<br />
