Day before my husband and I had to visit his brother's place for a family function.
Brother has a grand daughter who goes to school since Vijaya Dasami, a day when small kids are admitted in pre-school just to get used to the idea of going to school. From 9am to whatever time a kid is comfortable with but not beyond 1.30pm.
The kid cries a lot to go to school. School time is tension time when all other members of the family are engaged with only one task of somehow sending the kid to school. As if on cue, at 8.30am there are any number of excuses why she will not get dressed or eat her breakfast!
But the mother is not in a mood to give up as she gets her free time only during the kid's school time!
All this struggle until the child reaches her 1st grade where the school will function from 9am to 3.30pm giving the parent more free time.
Then there's college, then going to work, getting married, raising a family and becoming a parent and coping with children and bringing them up.
Until next then.
