"Tumhe paalne ke liye kitni mehnat ki hai"
I used to dismiss this statement by parents, saying that
ye to sab parents karte hain,
ye to aapki duty hai
Our parents used to have 2-3 kids,
sent them to school, fed them, dressed them well,
and most of us studied in some college
Now coming to our generation,
Most people are sturggling to get married even at 30 ,
Most aren't ready about having kids even at 35 ,
Forget having 2-3 kids, sending 1 kid to school look huge,
If you say everything is expensive now, our expenses have grown 3-4x, so has our income by 3-5x
Our parents had little disposable income,
they used to buy less, save a lot,
reuse things over years, had less liefstyle expenses, made sacrifices, lived frugally,
life wasn't easy for them, they tried hard, managed better
hence they were able to marry, have kids and raise them
Our generation, isn't able to sacrifice, manage that well,
we are less frugal, more demanding and less efficient
If you wan't to blame system, inflation, govt
Our parents had much less on all fronts
A good life needs grind, not complaining,
have to accept that
