    EP 038: Social Media Influence on Family Ties

    EP 038: Social Media Influence on Family Ties

    In this thought-provoking episode of ‘Married to India,' we look into the seismic shift in the mindset of our youth influenced heavily by social media. As parents of five, we see this significantly in our two daughters, especially aged 27 and 19; we've observed firsthand how digital platforms are molding their perceptions, values, and beliefs, all of which were instilled from a very young age only to warp their sense of truth and well being often clashing with the family ethos we've nurtured. We will discuss the importance of loss and disconnection many parents feel, the rising trend of estrangement in family relationships, and ponder over the critical question: Can we, as a society, salvage the sanctity of the parent-child bond amidst this digital wave? Join me as we explore solutions, share insights, and seek a path to understanding and connecting with our children in the social media age.

More aptly titled He Married Me, an American

So gosh, I’ve listened to two episodes and I just can’t anymore. I liked the name of this podcast, as I am in a relationship with an Indian man, as well, as a Caucasian woman…which is pretty unusual in itself and along with that comes a lot of cultural issues…which is what I thought this would be about. But I know nothing about what region the husband is from. I heard a lot about father in law and what a great man he was —- but where is he from and what was like like? For crying out loud, how many times do we have to hear that mother in law doesn’t speak English. Ummm, what language does she speak?? This story seems to only be your adaptation to them here in USA. This could be very rich with history and culture, but instead it’s about your floor plan of the home you’re building and how the neighbors wonder why you are mowing the lawn. I mean, being in India in a situation such as yours is fascinating and I would listen to you all day if this is what this was about, but I could care less about you making these people more American-like. I suggest changing the name of your show, frankly
