Last month I went to my Paternal and Maternal side. I saw my Mother busy in making Dinner and managing other house stuff. After few weeks I went to my paternal side. The same scenario, my Mother- in law was doing everything. My Mother- in Law showed me some pictures of my Father- in law when he got retired. She was feeling so proud and so thrilled in showing those. She was telling me how everyone in the office has congratulated him and there was a surprise party which she has arranged for him. It’s a day when every Men thinks that he is got Retired from all his work. Now he has Pension or previous investment for the financial support. He has given enough support to his family.
What about us? When do both of my Mothers will say, now we are retired? No more dependency on us. If I feel like making bed tea, then only I will do. There is no Compulsion on that. It’s pity that Women don’t have Retirement criteria. When will we order someone to make Tea for us?
It is always good to be active as long you live but sometime at the age of 60- 65, you may think of taking some rest and say Good bye to Kitchen.
