Consider the relationship Rukmani and Nathan have with their adult children. Does this seem typical of their culture? How is it similar to our culture? How is it different? How has your relationship with your parents changed now that you are only a couple years from adulthood and no longer a child?

Rukmani and Nathan take a lot more care of their children than people in our society today do generally. Most kids in our society leave their parents house and move out but in the society in the book that only happens if you are a girl and get married, or leave your town because you can not find work there. If not then you stay with your family in a town and that is pretty much where you live for the rest of your life. My relationship has changed with my parents in a few different ways. First they trust me more and trust me to make many of my own decisions, and they also understand that because I am no longer a child I have my own opinions and have things to say and bring to conversations. They also understand that I am developing stronger passions for things and I want to be able to pursue them and they help to nurture that in whatever way they can.

I agree with Nathaniel that Rukmani and Nathan typically take care of, and more importantly, care about their children more than many parents today typically do. I think that a lot of parents in America don't care as much anymore about what their kids do. That is one of the reasons that kids get into things like drugs or alcohol, or get severely addicted to electronics and things of the sort. Some American parents, however, do care a lot about how their kids are raised, and this helps them become more successful, knowing that their parents care about them. My parents don't always understand the way I think or perceive the world, but then again, nobody really does, so I don't particularly expect them to. I always try to understand when they judge me wrongly because they don't understand the way I see the world. What really matters to me is that I know that they care and try their hardest to make sure that I'm not absorbed into what the world has become, and I know that this is the love and care that helps me to get through, day by day.

Rukmani and nathan do take a lot of care of their kids. Most kids dont live with their parents after they finish college? This is pretty common in my culture because we always allow everyone to stay. Everyone of my grandmas children still live with her and therr in their 30s. My dad lives with her but he pays most if the bills. It is not as common in other cultures

I don't know much about their culture but I think that is pretty typical. It is similar to the idea that we should move out once we get a foothold in life. But we should also stay close by and come back every once and awhile, support and take care of each other, not abandon and leave everyone.

My relationship with my family has changed much like Nathaniel's has. My parents have given me more responsibilities as I've grown up, as well as more freedom with some things. They also recognize the fact that I can deal with harder more serious things and trust me with more.

Just like peter said I don't know a lot about there culture and what they think. but in my family well usually we would stay home for a bit through school and then we will move out. And that has how it has been since my mom was a kid and my dad. And I also know as I am growing up I have a lot more responsibilities I have to do.

Nathen and Rukmani have a close relationship with their children which seems similar to their culture which is not much different from our modern day American culture, although it matters greatly on what community you are in. For example one community may have parents that stay close to them after they become adults and are able to help at all times. Another group or community that's more than happy to help whenever their children need something but otherwise stay away and does not initiate too much unnecessary conversations. As I myself transition to being an adult child there has been a few changes in my relationship with my parents. Some of these changes are how they care for me. I used to rely on them in so many areas of my life like brushing my teeth. When I was younger my mom would always tell me to brush my teeth before I go to bed and sometimes in the morning but now that I am older and transitioning into adulthood it's truly my choice. If I don't I suffer the consequences. Overall the biggest transition in my relationship with my parents is the difference of the responsibility I now have. In conclusion It truly depends on your family's culture. Comments are closed.
