RE: Marriage, Childbirth, and Postpartum Experiences Across Cultures #awareness #pakistan

You make all Pakistani mother in laws and husbands so horrible.

I am spreading awareness about majority of mother in laws and husbands, not all ofcourse.

My own sisters examples r a bit different. I wanted to add them in this blog but that's whole another topic so I skipped it.

You know how things r here. I don't think I need to share personal examples as they have their own problems and challenges too.

My eldest sister's first baby was born in her husband's home while the second is born here. And the third unfortunate incident I don't wanna write about at the moment.

My middle sister don't live with her in laws. So that's a complete seperate story but it's a rare one too as it's very hard to find such jobs in Pakistan. I think her hardwork paid off.

My eldest sister's husband paid for expenses when she was here both times.

The other one is self sufficient and don't need anyone's dependency although her husband's job gave her massive discounts in government hospital. So, it counts as well.

But it's often the case that father or brother have to bare the expenses during childbirth and mother or sister have to take care of the baby in first 40 days after birth.

We shouldn't look at those ideal cases if most of population survived from some sort of issue. My purpose is to influence men to learn more about challenges of women so they can become better husbands/brothers/fathers.

One of upcoming topics is breastfeeding, I wonder what your opinion would be about it. Also, I wonder if I will cover good, bad and the ugly instead of just one stronger narrative while generalising population of Pakistan.

Thanks for your feedback, I will try to be less salty next time when handling such topics. Although, if u send random Pakistani girl you know and ask her if the author is showing the true image, she might agree with my pov.
