My family consisted of four members-- my dad, mom, my elder sister and me. In my family, everyone had a distinct role to play. My dad was a professor at Calcutta University and much of his work-involved teaching. He was the only earner in the family. That does not mean he was not concerns with the remaining three members of the family. He would make sure that my mother remained healthy and his daughters were being respectful to the mother. He wanted to make sure that we were being responsible and keeping up with studies. My mother stayed home and made sure that the household were run well, disciplined and nurtured my sister and me, watched over us to see that we were doing well in school. Our dad used to take care on our studies with our mom in the evening time and good communication in the early morning before we left for school. Today when I go back to my sweet memory of early childhood, it seems to me that we were the part of family system where children got lessons in culture, caring, and love through the responsible parental care.
Same time our mother played a key role that set up situations for her children. As for example when we two sisters were getting bored under the load of heavy homework, she used to take us in different climate like play ground by playing hide and seeks so we could see ourselves. Today I am still my mom dad’s little Girl.

Ruby,
ReplyDeleteSounds like your father, mother, and sisters plays a critical role in your life. I love that your mother would find things for you and your siblings to keep you interested.
