Read the following passage carefully and answer the question given below it.
Bringing up the baby is now a science and fine art! Most of the maternal grandparents would agree with this statement. My mother lost fifteen Kilos in six months when my son was born, and I gained that as much. Both ways it was because of the anxiety and shared responsibility. My colleagues welcome retirement when their daughter is ready to deliver or had just delivered. They most often befriend young experienced mothers and spend long counselling sessions with them, collecting tips on how to tackle a crisis. It is a funny sight to see grey-haired women browse 'Bringing up Baby' books at the local book store. One tends to think about what they did with their own offspring. Ask them and pat comes the reply, "it was so easy then. They grew up on their own." The mother may wear many hats at the same time. But to her or her parents, the mind-boggling thing for the first few years is diaper changes, circadian rhythm, and continual feeding. At home, social life is taboo. Phone calls give cause for irritation, music becomes noise, friends, and relatives become total strangers, the domestic help a spirit of mercy, and the paediatrician a fairy godmother. Raising a kid is akin to guerilla warfare, and you hear a woman say that her baby is beautiful and perfect and an angel all the time then she is the grandma.
Why is social life taboo at home?
