Everyone around me thinks it’s amazing to have a father take care of the baby 100%. Even I think so!

Shankar loves children and it’s been a dream come true for him to enjoy and take care of Arya - our 1.3 yr old son.

However, the society thinks otherwise…how can a woman of the house work and the man stay at home? My parents also don’t feel too comfortable with the idea. His parents too are just about OK; after all their son is not working full time and does not have the upper hand on financial matter…which I think is the crux of most of the family problems.

Anyways, we decided to do what we want to…Shankar stays at home, takes care of the baby and whenever he can, he works. He takes his baby to the factory or to a clients meeting. Luckily for Shankar, Arya is always asleep during his meetings. Weekends, Shankar catch’s up with his friends and work…I do what ever I want on week days.

It's amazing how Shankar and Arya bond ' the typical man-to-man kind of conversations Arya already has about 12 friends, like to play and watch football, imitates his father in all aspects. Shankar is now learning how to potty train Arya and how to make him eat solid foods.

All I can say is that ' you need to have a great understanding with your partner to take up such decision and it's amazing to see a child grow under a parent rather than having a maid to take care of them.
