A father to a 16-year-old boy and a six-month old boy. Are you more involved this time?
It is fashionable to say I am changing diapers, etc. Everyone does it. It's no big deal. The real thing is being with the baby all day and taking care of him 24/7. Luckily we have a family set-up and everyone pitches in, and we also have help here to do all that for us and that's a big blessing. I have seen friends in London and they do everything themselves. And it's a lot of work. No wonder some of them kill their babies. Yes, it happens. I know it is a politically incorrect thing to do. Anyway, I think a father's role is for other bigger things. When Taimur grows up, and we can talk is when the real father-son equation comes into play. All this is frivolous. I have been leaving my house early and I have started waking him up at around 7. He finishes his feed he has just started on solid foods and we spend about 20 minutes together. I read to him or put on some music, or nursery rhymes. Taimur, incidentally begins his day by listening to aarti.

Is he for real? I can't stop thinking about how effed up his comment is! No wonder some of them kill their babies? What a prick! PARENTS do NOT kill their children, messed up PSYCHOS do! Does he really think all hands on parents want to kill their kids?
