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. ;)

Modern Parenting and how to gear up for challenges.

As a youngster you might have had an idea of parenting, like how you would want to raise your future child different from your mother's way of child rearing. But when you fail tremendously in the act and seek your mother's, grandmother's help, you have passed as a modern day parent facing innumerable difficulties bringing up your little munchkin. There is certainly no one particular way of parenting which could be deemed as the best.You must follow a realistic type which suits your own family and lifestyle. Old-fashioned parenting can never be shunned from your entire agenda, because at various situations it actually makes sense, not to mention common sense. Yet, insensible in some ways compared to the contemporary methods. There is no village There is an old saying, “It takes a village to raise a child”, meaning in olden days, it takes a whole community of different people who interact with children in order to raise and make sure your children grow in a ...
