As I see, some of my friends (real life and virtual from all over the world) wants to extend financial assistance to their extended family members on need basis.
I am speaking about married women, who are educated and well settled financially. More importantly, earning and not dependent on their spouses in this aspect.
When in discussion, the matter of supporting the extended families as below is valued as Nobel thing among us.
- One wanted to support her parents who brought her up to this level by hard working. She planned together with her other siblings to get a loan and buy a simple flat for her parents; who were living in rental house throughout their lives.
- Other one wanted to extend some assistance to her not-so-well doing elder sister. This woman is now in abroad, so wanted to send cash on a monthly basis for her sister's family
- The third one had a plan to offer nice vacation kit to her father, who never visited out of her country
- There is another one, who shops for branded good quality electronic stuff for her un-married loving brother from abroad.
They cared nothing about their spouse's permission as they simply passed their opinion only to their spouses. Because they were planning their assistance through their own hard earned money only.
Here in our discussion, we praised these women for having a good career, and financial independence and their decision making ability. We went on to praise their good heart and generosity for remembering their loved ones after marriage.
All the comments were so positive about these women. But I am not sure how our reactions would be, had these above mentioned species were men?
Financial assistance - Double standard.
