You think girls are right to be careful, but you fail to realise it is not 'carefulness' but pure arrogant atrocity! :shock:
I have never been a supporter of this 'joint-family-thingy' where mil & dil are forced to put up with each other, day after day. It's quite unnatural as there's nothing biologically binding between them (as in the case with blood relatives or between spouses).
It was the fault of the society (possibly forced by economic conditions) to make these two women live under the same roof, giving rise to troubles both ways :-)
It's better for the boy and girl to leave their parents alone and live happily separately, as one flesh, with lot of kAdhal / luv. Parents too can continue to care for other children or enjoy their own later-year kAdhal:-)
Also, parents should not think about 'investing in children to get some monetary support later on' anymore but do some financial planning to take enough care of their years of advanced age.
That way, the parents can happily enjoy visits of chilren, grand children etc which will be a time of joy and not of grief. Rest of the time, can indulge in some useful pursuit for the society - plant trees for e.g., rather than watching serials and complaining about dil to neighbors :-)
