Agree with all your points
It was really quite heartwarming to see Abhir didn't forget his papa and went back to feed the cake ❤️ it would have been very unrealistic if they had showed him feed the cake to Abhi.
Though, I did feel bad for Abhi too. Yup he messed up big time in the past but it must be tough seeing his son call someone else as papa. I do hope he learns from his earlier mistakes and doesn't mess up this time. He can't behave possessively and want Abhir only for himself because it would affect Abhir badly who grew up knowing AkshNav as his parents.
Agree regarding the parenting aspects. AkshNav have been wonderful parents to Abhir and he has grown up into a very well behaved and sensible kid. Ruhi on the other hand has been spoilt by Manjari and Abhi. They seem to think getting her everything she wants is good parenting. Somewhere I feel Abhi feels guilty for Neel's death and tries to overcompensate for that. He kind of needs validation that he is taking care of Ruhi properly. He seems to be scared that if he says no to her for anything everyone might think he doesn't love her enough because she is not his own kid. He seems to have raised her like his brother's kid rather than his own. Not saying he doesn't love her he definitely cares a lot but is somewhere not a parent to her.
On the other hand Abhinav has raised Abhir like his own son. He is very grateful for having Abhir and Akshara in his life and pampers Abhir a lot but never shies away from reprimanding him if he thinks he has done something wrong like when he had troubled Abhi. And in Abhir's case, AkshNav are always a team if they have to teach him something. They usually don't override each other in front of him.
