Akash, Akash, Akash

Although Akash is only three years old, I am still taken aback by his actions. He seems to disregard everything Ruma says. She will tell him to stop doing something or come here and Akash will respond with no. Then there will be no other attempt by Ruma to do something about it. I know that Ruma is pregnant and that Akash has some jealousy that he will no longer be the baby of the family, but I still am amazed with the way Akash treats not only Ruma but also his grandpa. I think Akash's actions have something to do with Ruma's parenting. I know it's terrible to say, but I think that Ruma could have and could be a better mom. Sometimes parents have to lay down the law and I think it's too much effort for Ruma. The lack of parenting by Ruma seems to stem from Ruma not having the energy to really care if Akash does something. I think Ruma is sad and a little bit depressed right now in life and that contributes to her lack of control of Akash. I'm not totally trashing Ruma as a parent, but Akash's actions are obnoxious and irritating and I'm surprised Ruma does not take a more disciplined role. Ruma need to take time for herself as well, though. Her lack of motivation and effort need to be addressed and then I think she would have the energy needed to be a more involved parent.
