Suhana's Corner: Is Ishaan being a baby?
0 LIKE | 0 COMMENTS |
Hi everyone, how is life treating you? As for me, I am in a confused state because Ishaan is feeling jealous of our darling baby, Khushi.
I don't understand how he can compete for my attention with a baby and feel that I am not paying enough attention to him. This behaviour is very strange and I am flummoxed.
The week started off well as Disha didi decided to keep Khushi regardless of her mother's objections. I am very happy for her as we could all see how miserable she was without Khushi. I told Disha didi about my mother and how much I missed her and how Badi ma filled the void in my life. So it isn't necessary to be a birth mom to feel affection or responsibility for a child. A connection with a child is with the heart not just blood. I am glad Disha didi overlooked the fact that Khushi was abandoned and accepted her with her whole heart.
Ishaan was upset with me for giving more importance to Khushi- can you believe him? Khushi is a little baby who is dependent on others to take care of her, while Ishaan is a grown up and is capable of taking care of himself. How can he compare himself with Khushi. He feels I am obsessed with Khushi! Well, I told him I was not and that he was over reacting. Later I felt I need to calm him a bit and suggested we go out and he was happy with the idea but the moment I said let's take Khushi too, he got angry again. Ishaan has begun to irritate me with these tantrums now. How childish of him to be jealous of a baby.
When I told everyone at home that Ishaan was upset with me and wasn't talking to me, they suggested I should make up to him and cook his favourite dishes and lavish some attention on him. Ma began talking of ways she manaos papa while Rajni didi spoke of her fool-proof plans.
When Ishaan came home, I expected him to bring flowers and chocolates for me as we had had a fight in the morning, but he came empty handed and told me he expected me to manao him as he was upset with me. We had a full-fledged argument and we were both very angry with each other.
Meanwhile, we were all excited about Khushi's photoshoot. I got a photographer for the photoshoot but he mucked it up big time with his ideas of how the house should be, where the baby should be placed, vastu and all that. It was a big exercise in nothing. Rajni didi, Disha didi and I were very upset as the pictures were disappointing.
Later, Ishaan's anger came to a boil when I ruined his presentation file while preparing milk for Khushi. He yelled at me and I did apologize to him, but he was in no mood to hear me out. He felt I was irresponsible and apparently he couldn't prepare his presentation again. So he was annoyed and irritated. He left the room in a huff of anger. I was angry with him too as this is the second time in two days that he has been upset and angry about Khushi's presence. Everyone at home, including Meena has advised me to pay some attention to Ishaan which will surely soothe him they say. I wonder if Ishaan loves me so much then how can he be jealous of a baby or get annoyed when I am bit busy to give him the attention I usually do. Do men become babies when you have a baby in your house? Do they compete for attention with the baby?
