I'll be going through the labor pain and N says he'll just wait outside and come in AFTER the baby is born...he doesn't want to see any disturbing sights! I can go on and on and on but I'll stop here! On the plus side, N has adopted my dietary restirctions (cho chweet!) and he did put all my footwear on the top rack so I wouldn't have to bend and he did mention that he appreciated how much I would have to sacrifice while pregnant! The latter makes the former half oh-so-bearable :))Noodleheadhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08770939455258844517noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-32496989.post-1159531682147161992006-09-29T17:38:00.000+05:302006-09-29T17:38:00.000+05:30outsider- thanks so much for the good words & enco...outsider- thanks so much for the good words & encouragement. and yes- u never know my intentions!<BR/>art- so rue- mil treat the son in law as if he is god's gift to her daughter..<BR/>how do we know- great analogy<BR/>kalpana- keep the fingers crossed<BR/>mom of 2- read my next post- completely empathises with the women<BR/>@- thanks,inspite of me writing this post, i don't let hubby sleep<BR/>- after all, I am a woman too & i hav a right to do it<BR/>gettingtherenow- 2 sides of a coin- even men face a few difficulties, but i empathise with you. have been thru it too- esp with advices like i shud sweep the floor so that deliver is easy<BR/>TDNA- i picked all the cues from my poor suffering hubby<BR/>IQA, has to be me, sush - thanks<BR/>cardamom- ur blog is great. & welcome to mine. keep coming, who knows u may find something of your interest some day!Itchingtowritehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00763940951418027045noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-32496989.post-1159525955134531922006-09-29T16:02:00.000+05:302006-09-29T16:02:00.000+05:30This is what I call being fair, a good one...

In our case it was mom who was feeling that.<BR/><BR/>Also teh "Bad cop" thing. In most families I know, mom is the bad cop. Dass always pamper the kids. I know I do :)Twisted DNAhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16549032289634853627noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-32496989.post-1159458437271869942006-09-28T21:17:00.000+05:302006-09-28T21:17:00.000+05:30Please, PLEASE tell me this was a satirical piece!...Please, PLEASE tell me this was a <I>satirical</I> piece! You mean to say DADs should get equal sympathy and attention just for saying "Awww, you poor baby" occasionally? Thats all they CAN do during the pregnancy - right?<BR/><BR/>Well, in my opinion, dads can expect to get the same level of pampering, support and attention when <I>they</I> carry the baby for nine months, worrying every second about the excessive movements or none at all, going through the monumental hormonal changes, experiencing morning sickness, bearing the (unasked for) advices of all mausis and chachis with a grin, waddling like a whale and other numerous things that happen through pregnancy. <I>Then</I> I'll say dads and moms should receive equal treatment <I>during</I> pregnancy. After childbirth, it is a whole new story. (don't even get me started on that) :D<BR/><BR/>Sorry! Didn't mean to vent. This is a nicely written piece - dads do need a voice to tell the world the part they play in child-rearing. Some points just touched a nerve that is still raw I guess.
