How many parents ask their daughters who earn money to contribute to house expenses ?

In sikhi we are not meant to live off the earnings of our mothers, sisters, daughters ...this is an article written by a hindu lady with ulterior motive . Sure girls shouldn't be emptyheaded loafers but on the whole sikh women are not taught to behave in that way , they are expected to work hard at school, home and work if they go .The whole sikh philosophy is to do one's best effort and leave the rest to Waheguru ji. No , a sikh should think of developing sikh character first and foremost the rest will come with education and effort .

In my own life  I would earn and then buy things that would help in the household like new appliances because my Parents would get angry if I offered them money (now I understand but then I found it strange). Mostly I would be told to save it for myself ... after I was going to get married both my fiance and I paid for the whole thing and costs ourselves I did not want to burden my folks at all. When they looked after my eldest when I was working I would provide everything and also pay my Mother the going rate.

Bhein ji whether she's Hindu, Muslim, Christian it shouldn't matter !

Thing is, she makes a valid point regarding career & contributing to house expenses.

Either girl's should opt for a home maker lifestyle and forget about this article or 

look into the above advice.

To be  a Kaur in the modern world means you should have the backup skills and wherewithal to look after yourself whether or not you make a career , this will ensure that she will remain achint in the face of macho posturing of the husband or in-law pressure/bullying. It is our girls who are not educated enough who feel trapped and put up with spousal abuse because they are scared of facing the unknown.

 

These days I have noticed a trend of golden goose syndrome the guy might be a hardly 10th pass but he wants a wife with a profession why ? so she becomes a work slave  providing an income stream for him. This is on top of daaj demands. So again the Punjabi learns from the bad of others - well done, try learning something from sikhi instead. 

Your thinking also displays an element of backwards attitude to Kaurs ...there are so many who are positive contributors without paying ...maybe they take on ALL the families caretaking duties so their parents are free to work ...but of course in your eyes that wouldn't be worth anything ...

Bhein ji life is all about choices !

Bibi can either be homely or career oriented.

Problem starts when you mix both lifestyles.

Alpha females usually end up with sissy husbands or toy boys.

They are also called home breakers by in-law's coz they are not wired to live in joint families.

In the west you may not have the choice because of cost of living so do not jump to false conclusions my mother worked and looked after her duties too as do millions across the world , the only things that changed is location of workplace compared to previous generations . An alpha female is not a home breaker she is a home maker because she has strong self-confidence and ability can bring that to her family life , some in-laws live to blame the daughter in law when the fault lies in their sons . My brothers don't live with my widowed Mother , they don't look after her why? because my mother was wise enough to recognise that they didn't want that responsibility, so she let it go. Her daughters and their husbands are the ones who ask after her and help her out in a practical way although they live elsewhere. The Punjabi model makes selfish men and the Western Model selfish women , the sikh model makes Selfless people . I have a Sikh Mother ...that is better than anything this Hindu commentator knows

If you don't mind me asking Sis why did your parents object to this? offering the money I mean?

    • yeh it's true, we shouldn't be lazy and need to learn jhatka shikaar. It doesn't help some of grew up in surrounding areas like Slough and Southall where everyone thought it was super bad for amrit dharis to eat meat, and they were following Sant babas and jathas, and instead the Singhs should have been normalising jhatka just like the recent world war soldiers did. We are trying to rectifiy this and khalsa should learn jhatka.  But I am just writing about bhog for those that are still learning rehit. As I explained, there are all these negative influences in the panth that talk against rehit, but this shouldn't deter us from taking khanda pahul, no matter what level of rehit we are!
    • How is it going to help? The link is of a Sikh hunter. Fine, but what good does that do the lazy Sikh who ate khulla maas in a restaurant? By the way, for the OP, yes, it's against rehit to eat khulla maas.
    • Yeah, Sikhs should do bhog of food they eat. But the point of bhog is to only do bhog of food which is fit to be presented to Maharaj. It's not maryada to do bhog of khulla maas and pretend it's OK to eat. It's not. Come on, bro, you should know better than to bring this Sakhi into it. Is this Sikh in the restaurant accompanied by Guru Gobind Singh ji? Is he fighting a dharam yudh? Or is he merely filling his belly with the nearest restaurant?  Please don't make a mockery of our puratan Singhs' sacrifices by comparing them to lazy Sikhs who eat khulla maas.
    • Seriously?? The Dhadi is trying to be cute. For those who didn't get it, he said: "Some say Maharaj killed bakras (goats). Some say he cut the heads of the Panj Piyaras. The truth is that they weren't goats. It was she-goats (ਬਕਰੀਆਂ). He jhatka'd she-goats. Not he-goats." Wow. This is possibly the stupidest thing I've ever heard in relation to Sikhi.
    • Instead of a 9 inch or larger kirpan, take a smaller kirpan and put it (without gatra) inside your smaller turban and tie the turban tightly. This keeps a kirpan on your person without interfering with the massage or alarming the masseuse. I'm not talking about a trinket but rather an actual small kirpan that fits in a sheath (you'll have to search to find one). As for ahem, "problems", you could get a male masseuse. I don't know where you are, but in most places there are professional masseuses who actually know what they are doing and can really relieve your muscle pains.
