Recently , a relative of mine - a family of four with 2 adults and 2 kids (one kid just 6 months)- visited us and were staying with us for a few days.The wife seemed to be predominantly taking care of the kids and all other work inclusive of ironing shirt for the husband in the morning.One evening , the wife went out to buy some groceries leaving the 6 month old baby with his father and it was time for a diaper change and there he didn't waste any time to call me to change the diaper and for a poop clean-up. You can imagine my surprise ..well..honestly i wasn't surprised..I was shocked.!!I was shocked because my dad or my husband or my cousin brothers who were staying at my home at that time din't hesitate to clean up this infant when he needed a change.I genuinely hadn't imagined that an 'educated' man of today's generation could be so narrow to be doing this to his own son..I spoke to his wife and few other female friends about it and they seemed to be perfectly fine with it.One told me that' 98% of the men are like that .I don't expect anything better.'Another told me that whether to take care of one's kid of not is a personal choice for a man that cannot be questioned..Wait a sec..!! Hello..Am I dreaming here?
Well, my take is this - a man who is reluctance to clean up his own baby has lost all rights to be called a father.I have never been able to understand why wives of such men put up with such crap. By putting up with such crap, their sons grow up to be their fathers.
