SHE SHOULD BE HUGGED AND REWARDED

Hi friends,

STAGE OME

When the grandmother was a daughter-in-law, she cooked as per the advice of her mother-in-law and ate later after her husband and mother-in-law. While serving food, she stood behind the doors out of respect and responded by observing their plates. 

When it was summer. she even fanned them from perspiration by using a hand fan [visiri]. She ate alone afterward whatever remained without minding the sweating. She did not involve in any other activity due to lack of education. THERE WAS LOVE BUT ALSO FEAR.

STAGE TWO

Then came her daughter-in-law, the last generation, now the mother. She cooked sufficient food for all as per the needs of the family. She first served her in-laws by standing near them and serving only when they asked for and switched on the fan if necessary to avoid food getting cold. 

Then she ate alone or with her husband after attending to the needs of the in-laws. The remaining food was used on the next day. She was reasonably educated and she could involve in the education of the children till 10th std. THERE were LOVE AND FRIENDSHIP.

STAGE THREE

Then came her daughter-in-law, her son's wife, the present generation.  She decided about all the purchases viz provisions, vegetables etc, handled the family expenses, decided about the menu, cooked mostly as per her learning from the Internet, ate along with her in-laws, served them food by her left hand and the remaining food was given to the servant-maid or thrown into the dust bin. 

Due to better education, she completely looked after the children's education and also took up employment or any other activity and earned good money for the family. She mingled with her in-laws more like a daughter than a daughter-in-law. THERE IS LOVE, FRIENDSHIP, AND RESPONSIBILITY. Now tell me honestly, whether she should be rewarded or reprimanded?
