Cool article. I have married recently and had lots views about do's and dont's for a new age woman and the family life in general. When i was little, I used to think that if i grow up, ill do things differently. But now in reality when it comes to me, i handle things just like my mom does. and it works!

i still have a list of certain do's and dont's and i am sure that those will have to be wiped out whenever i have a kid!

all the best for teaching your kid!

Enjoyed reading this post. Could totally identify with the part where you learned about what not to do in parenting from your parents! Also, being a Literature enthusiast myself, found your diction quite poetic:)

ha ! i keep telling parents that I am going to be so NOT like them as far as bringing up children are concerned - and they brush my comments aside with a smug smile.. "this we will have to wait and see"

@iK: I know what u mean, its not like raj frets much, ideally he'd like to be the 'masti ki pathshala' type, but i think his genes have 'academics' embedded in them :).

@Abhi: oh it is..peer pressure is mounting on adults. to the extent we boycott some friends altogether who are way too generous with their advice on parenting.

@Pat: Don't even mantion it, I am feeling the heebiejeebies thinking about MOn

Oh! Poor Meeshu! You remind me of my 'Washing Powder Nirma', days. Am sure Meeshu's spontaneity will beat mine...and then the 'cool' parents can feel more proud of such a 'cool' child!

This is uncanny..I can so relate with this post of yours. Bibhu(my husband) n I have been panicking about Avi's deteriorating hindi speaking skills. Have recently started practicing 'ka kha ga gha..' with her and plan to bring loads of hindi books on our next trip to India(whenever that happens!).

*ha ha*... life goes around in cirlces!!!

I went to school today for a parent teacher meeting & collecting the 1st term report cards of my 4 & 6 year old girls... And as I drove to school.. I had butterflies in my stomach.. I just couldnt understand why!

Its so true... even I had said.. I would do a lot... but now have come around 360deg!!! So I know the feeling!

interesting....i guess it has just begun. The most difficult part is guess is the peer pressure not just for the kids but for parents also :)

2009-06-25T11:18:25.702+05:30

guess thats the cycle of life... as meeshu and misha grows up, they shall start proclaiming that they wont let their kids through this awfull grind, and when the time comes they will themselves start bending...

what M proudly went about doing in college, is now a tension-zone for her and gets constantly scared if m will follow her footsteps.. less with books more with some one... :P :D :D

but 2b honest, I dont give a damm...let m her live her life in a way she perceives best.. i would be just a whistle blower for an alert... thats all...... and this attitude of mine infuriates M all the more...... couldnt care less if that does not make me good father material......
