Dear PJ sir,

Sometimes I wish home management was like an auto pilot machine where we stuff kids and spouse inside and let the machine handle them ..it will be much easier for us females.

In my next birth I want to be a snail..cos I can stay in my shell all alone..others need not bother me..snails dont have to look after spouse,kids,mama,machans..snails dont have to see patients....and snails can even gun themselves if they cant find a mate!LOL
what makes you think home management is of ladies alone?

spouse can be a great resource

extended families are boons

kids require you for a few years ,then become self sufficient and think you are a nuisance

if you decide to be a snail, you could be one easily . others will fill roles which you consider yours alone

for those who want to be responsible there are many who would thrust themselves on them for a free ride on their shoulders

there is an emotional hook to every relationship.

in life it has to be a judicious cocktail of emotion and cold action based on real requirements

high time you delegated even if alternatives are not as perfect as you prefer them to be.

I can see you are stressed in quest of perfection

if you want the best for all without compromising where required , you will be a wreck in no time

no religion can help . you can only help yourself

as a person who has nurtured and promoted working ladies all my life , my suggestion is distribute your load to those around you who can take it

it is difficult to give up control like this . once you hang up a bit and start transferring your load slowly others will take it and rise to your expectations. all are humans .

they will relate to you and care enough to satisfy your needs.

with best wishes

Dear Krish ji,

Delegating tasks is no big deal.

But how to delegate task of being a wife and a mother!LOL
 
Housing societies are available with swimming pool, tennis courts, golf clubs, community hall, garden, temple and what not. One can choose to live anywhere. One can remain 'turned on' by giving a wide berth to 'turn off'!

Dear Sarangji,

I desire to follow the virtual fact presented by PJ Ji here but I would like very much to be what you have written above till the last breath of my life, as I want to be with my kids by adjusting myself and be passionate with lot of endurance, self sacrifice that crops in from different angles/perspectives because of higher education of wards and their better halves because of their professional approach and attitude by not giving respect and regard to elders. One cannot cut the root of the relationship for the sake of selfishness. What else is left there in one's life! Of course, one should maintain good health, heart and also wealth for self first, then to the wards.

I am wrestling with an issue
Alt 1 - live in a housing society 1 km from my two children right in the heart of city with no old age facilities of food ,inhouse medical care

alt2 - live in a retirement home 10 km away with all the facilities .above also,senior citizen friendly,food and inhouse medical facility at 30 percent higher initial investment.

the builder is the same. alt2 immediately available .alt1 after 15 months. what do you think is wiser?

it is this type of issues which plague people.

well off from abroad basically face this type of issues when they want to return to india in old age. it is not money per se.children like to stay abroad. parents would

like to return to their roots.
 
Dear Krish Sir,

Opting for alt 1 depends on the children! :)

What about those parents who do not have either son or daughter living in India ? What is the alternate ?

Live nearer to brothers/ Sisters home, Live nearer to very close friends home, live nearer to Hospitals aand other facilities , provided one has enough income to manage every thing including medical related issues.
 
Dear Sri Krish,

I would prefer the first option which offers proximity to near and dear and functional freedom. I for one do not like regimentation of life. Now all facilities are available in our Cities. Even payment of all bills can be done from sitting before the computer. How ever as Mrs Ram has said it also depends on our children.

Regards,
Brahmanyan,

My daughter though has bought a flat in bangalore is based in singapore , son who has also a flat nearby might go to jakartha.

we are almost in the same boat. I am already living in delhi in my own flat near my extended family of brother and sisters. but I happen to be the youngest of them all.lol
 
I feel when I age I would prefer staying far from others..the idea of grandkids seem scary.

Its nice to play with kids provided they dont stay with you!LOL

Dear Renu,

After reading your post I am reminded of an old cartoon!

A new dad holding his new born will scream, 'This one leaks; Give me another!' :lol:
