AT THE FEET OF THE MOTHER
Ask Alok da

I have too much pressure from my in-laws to attend social functions and attend to other family responsibilities, the kids suffer as I have to leave them attend these things please advice what to do?

One line advice is do not succumb to social pressures. It is not only about the harm these things do to the child but also to oneself. It is necessary to develop one’s individuality fully by making one’s choices.

Initially the parents and friends may try to pull but later they will respect you for the integrity displayed and standing by your choices.

Affectionately,

Alok da.
