was reading an article "Don't worry, be happy" (TOI, 16/7) by Chetan Bhagat on how women are stressed in today's world....He has given five suggestions to reduce their stress levels which are all debatable....
1. Don't ever think you are without power. give it back to that mother-in-law.... why ????first, not all mother-in-law's are as they are projected.....secondly, why cant MEN control their MOM's!!!!!!!!!!!!
2. If you are doing a good job at work and your boss doesn't value you - tell him that, or quit....RIDICULOUS...
first of all, if you are good, nobody is going to stop you from getting the credit....secondly, he has assumed that all bosses are MEN, it can be women also!!!!!!!!!
3. Educate yourself, learn skills, network...figure out ways to be economically independent. so next time your husband tells you that you are not a good wife, mother or daughter-in-law, you can tell him to take a hike..
IS IT REALLY POSSIBLE TO SAY THIS TO YOUR HUSBAND????WHAT ABT THEIR EGO??WILL THEY BE ABLE TO TAKE IT FROM WIFE???
4. Donot ever feel stressed about having a dual responsibility of family and work.It is difficult but not impossible.
YOU ARE RIGHT MR, BHAGAT, IT IS DIFFICULT BUT NOT IMPOSSIBLE...NOTHING IN THIS WORLD IS IMPOSSIBLE...WOMEN HAVE CONQUERED MOON,,,,but why it should be the responsibility of ONLY WOMEN to look after family???...why not the husbands equally share the responsibility.....that would be LESS STRESSFUL FOR HER!!!!!
5. Don't get competitive with other women....survival of the fittest is the key in today's world MR. BHAGAT!!
Instead of wasting time in writing if only he could have helped his wife in managing the household activities, his wife would have been more RELAXED.......
Your blogs trigger a lot of thought process.i will end up writing a whole blog on topics like this.g a whole blog on topics like this.
