Tips for young Dads to please new Mommies


Gone are the days when mothers pamper their boys with all the luxuries at home and shower the daughter-in-laws with the domestic chores. So let the men get in the field.

The truth is that the moment a child is born, a mother is born too. She existed as a woman, but motherhood is a rebirth for her. So trying to please her doesn't take a lot of effort.

 Take your child along with you while running errands

You could manage to run errands with your child on your back or arms for a small part of the day. This will make your wife enjoy loneliness for a little while.

Pick up after your child at bedtime.

Cleaning up the area after playtime can be really helpful for your already tired wife. Especially when you have a super-active child who rejoices in throwing toys around.

 Feed your toddler on weekends

You are going to please your wife excessively if you feed your baby, be it milk or lunch. The most difficult part of the day is the meal time. If your child has already learned to by herself, then supervise. It enhances the bonding between you and your child.

Take to the loo

Whenever your child needs to pee and poo, accompany him/her to the loo.(For potty trained children). And also teach the child not to allow anybody other than a parent to touch the underwear.

Engage your child when your lady cooks

 She might not want the little one breathing down her neck while she cooks. Indulging in a minor activity can be helpful here.

Carry the baby, on an outing.(no strollers)

 Carrying a toddler around on a busy street takes a lot of strength. You could hold the baby during an outing due to higher physical strength than the females.

Let her do the fine dining without an interruption.

Going to a restaurant happens from time to time, as a stay-at-home mother, she might have not had a calm lunch at home with the child meddling constantly, while you might have dined well with the colleagues in peace. So have the baby with yourself when she dines comfortably.

Listen

Be attentive to her parenting woes when she complains. If not helpful, be a good listener.


When all is said and done, you have a happy wife and a great mother by the end of the day.

P.S - The article may mostly suit parents with toddlers.

Simple, yet poignant lyrics (II)

I've got a knack of discovering pleasant songs, excellent movies, endearing books very late in time, sometimes even after it's fad fades away. One such song is Perunthil nee enaku... The beauty of this song is that it relates to some very simple, unnoticed but pleasing moments in a our day to day life. The duet is of two people who sing about  what they mean to each other. There are some cute imperfections in Madhushri's tamil pronunciation but the male singer makes up for all that. Duh! Why do I even have to annotate the lyrics? It speaks for itself. ;) Perunthil nee enaku jannal oram Pin vasal mutrathil ne tulasi madam Vidumurai natkalil pallikoodam Vilayattu pillaigalin chella kobam Aalilla nalliravil ketkum padal Anbe anbe neeye (hmmm....)

Quote Wonderment (I)

I'm totally sick of examinations and stuff. World's worst stressors are exams. I've always had this opinion right from my childhood. Hmmm... So to get a break I was running through my old memories and thoughts. One such is the admiration for this quote, "Sometimes people are beautiful. Not in looks. Not in what they say. Just in what they are." --Markus Zusak The quote itself is amazing. Reminds me of so many things. And note that Markus Zusak's wonderful book called 'The Book Thief' which was a good read. Laziness blocks me from writing more. ;)

2 States - Oh please, no!

I don't know why I chose to read '2 States' over 'The Subtle Knife'. My copy of 'Subtle Knife' is sleeping in the shelf. I wish I had finished it off instead of reading this one. M' Okay let me tell why this book was so insipid, [beware of spoilers hehe!] Possible reasons why I picked up this book: 1. Thought it would be a light-read. 2. It involved IIM A 3. Curiosity to know the speciality of Tamil girls 4. Heard it is a slapstick comedy [ which is not, in any way] Top reasons why I disliked it: 1. Cliched plot with stale scenes. [Ithellam nanga 'Poovellam Kettupar' la ye pathutomm, Chetan!!] 2. Making fun of South-Indians went overboard. [where Punjabis were never hurt in any dialogues, a very feeble mocking was clear] 3. Nothing less than a Bollywood drama, too filmy! 4. Totally predictable. 5. Ananya herself [there're are a multitude of reasons to hate her, which I won't enumerate here] 6. The feeling of reading his p
