This world is really a mixed bag. After having shared about goodness still being there in human kind, I was brought back to reality with a jerk.
I used to see a girl of about 14 or so going to school in the morning when I took our dog for morning round. She used to be going out of our complex gate. Her uniform showed that she went to some government school. In the evenings I normally saw her looking after 2 children of around 7 and 5 in our small park. I had seen them too going to some public school in the mornings. Her clothes gave an impression of her being a maid. At times I saw a lady, who is mother of those small children as they addressed her as mummy, scolding her for being careless. Her tone used to be very harsh. The girl looked scared but did not say anything. On few occasions I saw all of them going out in car driven by a well dressed man. This girl used to be in the back seat with children in same maid kind of attire. I felt happy that they are affording education for their maid. However it was so short lived.
A neighbor of our was with me yesterday when we saw them going out in the car. I remarked to him that how nice of these people to send their maid to school. He looked at me and asked me did I know them. On my negative reply, he said then I do not know the actual facts. He then went on to tell me that the man is her father while the lady is her step mother. She treats her like a maid making her do all household chores in the morning before going to Municipal school and same is the story in the evenings while her father is a mute spectator. I was dumb struck on this revelation.

I feel anger for the father...as it is his responsibility to strike the right balance....and I pity that this lady failed to understand a kid's mindset even when she is a mother of two.... disturbing!
AMRITA :
Sad is a mild term for this. I say it is deplorable on father's part. He should have made it clear to woman he married that girl is to be treated like own daughter. Take care
JIGYASA :
If he did not have courage to stand up for his own blood, he should not have re-married. As far as she is concerned, her mindset is of typical step-mother.
Take care

Hello Uncle Jack!
I am reading all the posts by you these days. This one is terrible. :( I wish we could do something of such parents in India. Such things in particular disappoint me.'
At the end all I can say is I am thankful for having parents who consider me world.
