Funny Post.
Yeah but I think it is seen in almost every hindu home. Do you know if how Muslims act in this situation? Any Idea?
Well for me when I was a kid(they used to tell me all unbelievable stories like lizard or cockroach and I used to believe them) I always liked to tease my mom and sis by intentionally touching them. I don’t know if they liked all this crap but for sure I sensed later that, they wielded a kind of raw and childish dominance in pursuing this kind of superstition. Some thing as women probably they can wield in this country only at home. Poor chaps.

This is really crap thing i think, there should not be such restriction for girls. Even in my home these restrictions are followed by my mom n sis. I am strictly against these, n i think even they dnt like to do that.

In my home, we dont follow all these crap ..

But in wife’s home, they have this tradition of not touching anything during her periods .. When I heard about it, i was shocked .. That was insane ..

Even if today, when I argue about it to my wife, she gives me some weird arguments and I just stop discussing it ..

All these bullshits really taking me to atheism lately ..

Yes.. most of the things listed above still exists if you are living in a joint family or traditional home. And once you are used to it, sometimes its difficult to break from the traditions.. you feel you have done some sin by not following the rules.. though the intention of people in earlier era who believed in this, could have been hygiene, guess it was blown out of proportion..

some other things:
- you cannot visit temples
- i thought hair wash was on 4th and 5th day!!
- everything she uses, from plate to clothing to accessories needs to be kept aside and should be washed before using in normal days.. (means wardrobe should not be touched)
- they should not use the normal cot n bed.. should lie down separately
