Do indian parents make love after having their kids grown up??
923634
Why not ! Indian couples are normal as any other couple & make love if not daily but anyday or time whenever they feel like. As far grown up kids hardly make any reason for not making love. There have been cases where mother & daughter or daughter in law delivered child almost together now what will you say about such incidenence and mind you such cases have been reported in rural areas ??? We ourself 48 year couple with grown up kids of marriagable age still make love now dont ask when as I told you as & when we feel like. OK !!!

Not at all.  Parents don't get a script.  They have to make all their own decisions regarding how to raise their children, and hope like heck they get it right!

b/c they think their cool.......but at the same time theres all those desis living in india forgetting their own culture so can you really blame them?\n\nI'm way more cultured (raised in American since the age of 9 and now 22) than the kids raised in india their whole life.  I go to the temple every sunday, respect my parents, will have an arrange marriage, live with my husband's family, no partying, no drinking, no smoking, i love cooking..............like seriously, is it soo hard???? So I guess the question should now be, why are the kids being raised in india more "westernized" than the kids that actually grow up in a westernized world.

Hi: My husband and I have children from previous marriages and it is complicated.  The blended family needs a disclaimer: results may vary.  In my experience both partners need to give the other alot of grace.  Relationships can be difficult with our own children, let alone a new girlfriend/wife.  Some parent child relationships are difficult, some are easy.  Psychologists call this goodness of fit. We all have different personalities and we can't always relate to one another.  As for my husband and I, after alot of stuggle I think we relized we are not able to rescue our kids from the missing parent that left them.  Our kids are the ones that respond to the step parent, if they choose not to be responsive and enter into a relationship we cannot force them.  The wicked step mother applys, even when you are an angel from heaven.  Some kids never respond to the step parent.  Dr. James Dobson said in one of his books (paraphrased): The child takes on the job of protecting the family of orgin, they will ask when is Daddy coming home, they will say "you are'nt my mom."  It really depends on how old your kids are.  I think in our case, our kids were too old to start a new family.  My husband and I should of waited to get married until the nest was less populated.  In short if you married a woman with no kids, dont expect her to be perfect, and angel sent to make everything roses and sunshine for your kids.  If she is human she will have stuggles and make mistakes, but love is the greatest of all.\nGod Bless.....

It really depends upon the culture. I knew a girl who was Saudi, but raised in Venezuela (another culture repressive to women). She was a student of mine in college and clashed frequently w/her traditional parents, since she wanted to become a doctor. \n\nKids and parents of all cultures usually clash, to some degree or another. Even parents (like a lot of aging Hippies I know!) who are pretty loose on discipline, have fights with their kids and sometimes the kids suffer from not enough discipline, whereas in our culture, it's usually TOO MUCH discipline (esp. if kids are hit...that's just wrong!). \n\nWhat you're describing sounds like basically the same thing that every immigrant group has gone through in some form: the older generation wants to keep tradition but the younger generation wants to be Americanized. \n\nThe main thing is to realize the kids aren't doing this out of lack of love or respect. You need to let them go and mesh with the new society, but be there for them if they need a place to come back to, and they usually do. \n\nDon't alienate your kids just because they're not exactly like you!

Wrong answer from whoever thought there was a more tranquil life in India, don't they have drunks who have sex in India?\nYour Son will grow up on the beliefs of whatever you have instilled into  him. \nIf you are not into drunks or sex then the chances are that he will follow your lead, no matter what part of the world he moves to!

It has a lot to do with the culture and the role of men in Indian society.  They are raised in a certain way, and expect their wives to treat them the same way their mothers treated their fathers, but they don't want the same responsibilities that their fathers had (to be faithful, be a good provider, help raise the kids, etc).\n\nAlso, they know the women can't leave them, so they can abuse them as much as they like, and her parents will always tell her to go back to him.  \n\nIt's very sad, but not all marriages end up like this.  I've seen some arranged marriages wind up with much love and happy children.  It depends on the couple and how much they are willing to accept the responsibilites of marriage.

its 2 hard 2 explain but actually it depends on how d parents brought up their children.\n\ni grew up in a very close family ties. my parents always treated d 3 of us fairly that's y no sibling rivalry ever occurred. \n\nshe gave us almost everything we want & she took care of us with tender loving care.. my dad was @ this tym abroad working so it was my mom who did all d parental care..\n\nshe moulded us 2b gud individuals, never 2b jealous or envy abt other people's success, 2b contented w/wat we have, 2b helpful & giving & so many more..\n\nif u grew up in this kind of environment, i think u'll pass d tradition & that feeling of love throughout ur next generation...

I can not believe some of the people on here giving answers the way they do. Honestly, no one on here can tell you what to do because everyone is different. My parents were married at 19, and they love each other very much. My grandparents are the same way. It doesn't mean it always works, because it doesn't, however people need to stop offering their views and opinions like it is fact. There is no answer to this question, because no one no yahoo knows who you are.

you dont have sex with your children right?! lolz!!! just joking... the love that you give to your children is familial, its more of a protective and motherly kind of thing... for your husband its more on the romantic side

My parents were dating for two years, and according to one, very much in love. My mother was offered a great career opportunity, which in the field of work she was in at the time, was incredible for a woman in the 70's, but needed to move across the country to do it. My father had a very good career in a large company based in my hometown, and was unable to leave with her. Three years after she left, neither had dated again, and she came back. They picked up where they left off, were married six months later, and 25 years on, are still together, kissing each other good morning and goodnight, and telling everyone they know how lucky they are to have each other.\n\nI really hope that whatever made you ask this question works out well for you.

Just because you get married does not necessarily mean you love your parents less.  The way you love your husband is obviously different from the way you love your parents.  You should love them equally.  Different, but equal.

i know mine do. they also know i am in love with them. it is sad that you have to ask this question. kids should love their parents. it is not because we give them things. it is because no matter what we will be there it is an unconditional love to the highest form

Generally, arranged marriages last and are more fulfilling than the romantically-based marriages in our culture (US).   The arranged marriages that I have known weren't forced.  The childred had agreed that the chosen spouse was right for them. Parents select a spouse based on common values, goals,  religion, character and the reputation of the family.  Parents of the bride and groom make a comittment to support their childrens' marriage and encourage them to do the right for each other and for the family as-a-whole.  Americans usually choose their spouse according how "in love" they feel.  Once these feelings fade,  there's no foundation for the marriage - nothing to keep them together.  Those who have had their marriage arranged make a commitment to love each other in action,  not ALWAYS perfectly,  and feel in love with each other sometimes, sometimes not (normal).  What keeps them together, when their feelings have faded, is the family,  the commitment, their common goals and values - a strong foundation for marriage.  Divorce usually isn't an option. They have to continue to work on the marriage - with their family's help.

Hi.. Josie .. how are you?\nHope you remember me.\n\nDowry marriage is still existing in many parts of India. But the percentage is really decreased. The people are not demanding nowadays. But ther are happily accepting whatever the bride's father offers.\n\nI hope this trend will go soon.\n\nHowever this is not applicable for love marriages.

Culture is different in India, so I have to respect that.  But, as an American woman who is 26, I do whatever I think is right for me and don't worry so much about what my parents think.  I also don't live in my parents' house.  Don't get me wrong, I still listen to my parents' advice.  But, I take it in stride and weigh it against my own opinions and feelings.

Yeah! My parents. They got divorced, spent I think about 8 years apart. Both parents had partners they were seeing and living with them. I called my dad one Saturday morning and my mom answered the phone. Had to check if I dialed the right number. Attended their wedding, really weird. Even weirder, I have been married longer than my parents, go figure.\n\nIt lasted about 3 years before my mom left him again. I don't think he will take her back this time.
