The Parents Versus Kids

The lack of consistencies in the characters have been a recurring problem of mine regarding the show. People used to be something else, and some are now something else. Guest characters have taken U turns in character in an episode sometimes. Mandira track comes to mind.

Ahujas claim to be liberal but their talk is big while actions display something else. Pinky gets hysterical in every situation. They couldn't even handle a teen crush. I wouldn't call them much liberal. Though they do give freedom to their kids to put their points. Jeet has always been a good parent, IMO. He handles both Pinky and the children. He is the firm feet of the family.

In Ahluwlaias, Lucky does the job of Jeet. Instead of hysterical Pinky, we have fierce Sweety here. Her I-am-always-right attitude is the biggest problem. Not letting the kids speak their mind, not analysing the situation before going on a rant etc. While Lucky handles things well, lets the kids talk, handles Sweety as well, and tries to find a middle ground so that everyone is happy.

Thus I find both families balanced, but neither to be perfect. But then, can parenting ever be perfect? My favorites are the dads though.

Coming to the point.

Ahujas consider themselves to be sensible parents who are perfect. They say they understand their kids and react accordingly. But throughout all the tracks they have not stood up to what they said. 

Pinky has always been hysterical and over reacts without thinking. She believes whatever is said by others about her children. She is never strong when it comes to crisis situations. Kids have to take care of her rather than vice versa. She is not capable of taking any major decisions. 

Jeet was sensible earlier. He used to understand his kids and have good talks with them. But he sticks to his point and takes long time to understand the other side. He is not very open about what he thinks. He wants the kids to understand him also. But lately, probably from Deejay track Jeet needs help in his decisions. He needs someone to say he is doing right. 

Ahujas are definitely very inconsistent. Jeet-Pinky themselves get into so many arguments because of which the kids are stranded in the middle. They become too serious for even the smallest of the issue. 

Ahluwalias on the other side have their share of weakness too. But they learn from their mistakes quickly and never stop from apologising to their kids. 

Sweety also over reacts like Pinky, but she thinks and over reacts. She wants all of them to follow her rules(there are some good rules too) but is not ready to compromise on them even for a small thing. Kids sometimes feels like prisoners because of this. She mostly understands her kids and at times when she does not, Lucky helps her out.

Lucky gained a lot of respect from me from Kidnapping track and the recent Rinku track. He is calm and composed and does not care if anyone shouts at him. He patiently listens and then makes the other side understand. Kids are close to Sweety also because he has always cleared the misunderstandings. He may get careless at times but Sweety is there to keep check. Kids feel comfortable sharing their point with him with no fear.

Ahluwalias are more balanced. Parents help each other out when misunderstandings occur. Any one of the parent keeps cool if other loses control. Kids can always find shelter under one parent all the time.

For eg: Take the time when everyone came to know abt the nakli circular kids made. How did all the 4 react?

Pinky: Surprisingly did not over react as her kids were not involved much. But she stood helpless when Jeet did not speak to Raashi.

Jeet: He gives silent punishment which hurts kids more. I think he shud be more open. He was hurt that Raashi was involved too, but the way he did not speak with Raashi as punishment. I somehow did not like it.

Sweety: SLAP! SHOUT! Done😆 

Lucky: Calm! Took Rocky alone and spoke to him and made him realise. It was a matured talk.

So for me..I like Lucky's style of parenting. He is more open with kids, kids feel free to share their views with him. He maintains the balance also. 

Phew!!!LOOONG POSTTT!!a

Very true😆
