Good morning / evening 😃
Thank you guys, for the overwhelming responses. Loved to read each and every one of the view points.
@jhalak, loved the sentiments expressed by you particularly. I loved how you put it across, that a mother and father are born, the day a child is born. Can't be truer than this statement alone and can't even articulate any better👏Both of us take care of people in our professions, but the day, me and husband left the hospital with our child, cozily swaddled, innocent looking bundle, who we knew can create quite a ruckus, is thrust in our hands, we were completely bewildered. We were like " what do you mean we have to take care of this little bundle by ourselves? How do we know what to do? What if we don't diaper properly, what if we can't feed her, bathe her, what is our fallback". In effect, we wanted a pediatrician to come home with us. We desperately scoured the internet for a " baby manual" so to speak. So yes, mothers and fathers learn to be parents along with their child who is learning to be a child. There is no right or wrong way, but definitely critical judgement is needed.
Didn't think of the fact that Mishti is more looking out for her mom's happiness. Such a lovely and heartwarming sentiment❤️.
@poiu... nice to see you here😃. That little girl is no criminal, she is just a little girl, so confused, hurt and she is crying for attention.😭 I totally agree, being a father has nothing to do with what you do professionally. All you need is a sensitive, responsible and caring heart. That is it. Amazing fathers are not always pediatricians. I have a janitor at my institution who is the most amazing dad I have met so far in my lifetime.
I have one more snippet of information I want to share here to drive home a point about how children don't take kindly to lectures. If you try to sit them down and talk, all they hear is BLAH, BLAH, BLAH, BLAH... This is proven with evidence in my home😃. Husband bought a " blah button" to our daughter, so she can warn us when we are crossing the line, without being uncomfortable for her. Mind you, she is only 8. The number of times, she uses it is mind-boggling. Needless to say, he upgraded himself to the level of a genius for thinking about it. So you really have to slip in what you want to say when they are most receptive, and in small bites, like for example, when they are in the car and sharing their most intimate concerns of may be not getting invited to a birthday party of a red haired girl in class or something like that. That is when they are open to hearing "pearls of wisdom" pertaining to how to manage disappointment, for example😕.
Finally, I am so glad that the show has decided to show the general public the trials and tribulations of what children have to go through because of extreme stupidity, selfishness on the part of their parents. I hope this opens some people's minds at the very least. A few days ago, Mauli articulated it so well, because of stupidity/impulsiveness of Kunal's actions, all of us are bearing the consequences till now, without any fault of ours.
Have more to say... about the Mehek chick, but will talk later. Got to run...
Have a great day !😃
