A householder has to make sure he cares for elderly people as well as young children nicely. In Mahabharata, Yudhistra maharaja would everyday goto Dhritarashtra in the morning after he wakes up to check how he is doing and talks to him for sometime to make him feel good&ensured he got enough care personally.
Being a householder means being very responsible. Not that because I am chanting I have no duties to perform. We heard enough of these from even some senior devotees. Madhavendra Puri's state of consciousness was completely different and he was not even begging as that's one of the duties of renounced order of life to maintain the self. He was totally dependent on Krishna and he ate only when someone came forward to give something as directed by Supersoul. We are not on that level to be irresponsible or without care for ourself or our family members. Of course the Lord is the ultimate maintainer but he is not our servant.
