Question

Bring out the element of humour in the play mother's day

Answer 1

Answer:

The job of a mother in a family is actually a twenty four hour job and the mother does not

have the luxury of even enjoying any weekend, any holiday.

The popular conception is that only those who are in service have to work hard. The mother

who stays at home has a leisurely life.

The other members in the family always take the work that the mother does at home for

granted and gives no credit for that.

The children in a family go on to believe that the job of the mother is to keep herself in the beck

and call of her children and so is the thinking of the husband of the family towards his wife.

The mother needs to be harsh and assertive every now and then with her children and husband,

reminding them that the work she does is a round the clock work and is valued much more

than theirs.

If the mother of the family turns out to be too soft with her attitude towards her children and

husband, then the children are bound to be led astray and spoilt as is the case with Cyril and Doris Pearson.

Always a little bit of caution, cold looks, strong words and body language from the mother

help the atmosphere of the family ordered and the health wholesome.
