Even after belonging to millennial generation the concept of "Equal Parenting" comes as a myth. More than half of the parenting role in some families even now has to be taken care by the mother. And gender divide begins right from the second the child is born.
.
Some days I am totally convinced Mr. Husband isn't even the right man for having been married to. 🙈🤷🏻♀️😂🤣😅 But most days I am so grateful thinking about how lucky I am to be raising my son with a guy like him, someone who puts family before everything else. It's really beautiful to have another person to share the ups and downs of parenting with every single day who is equally involved and equally shares the responsibilities.
.
One can choose her husband but only a few get to choose their fathers. We thank our stars every day for having Mr. Husband as Shaarav's father who has been an equal parent right from the time we conceived. He has played an equal parenting role in each and every area of Shaarav's upbringing be it feeding him, changing him, bathing and massaging him, tending him when he's sick. He has even spent sleepless nights by my side and have woken up at the oddest possible hour when the need be. Some of you would know how actively he was involved as a parent and as a matter of fact he was on Babychakra app long before I joined. He has been an avid reader of parenting articles because he wants to understand whatever minuscule thing happening to Shaarav and wants to make sure nothing goes wrong with Shaarav.
.
And though I'm jealous that Shaarav is his Daddy's replica in almost all aspects it didn't come as a surprise when the first words he spoke was "Papa" instead of Maa.
.
So for the #equalparent that Daddy Dearest Kartik Kujur is we prepared a "Love You" card for him on Father's Day to appreciate all his efforts to keep us well fed, happy and healthy and to celebrate his existence in our small world.
.
Shaarav thanks his Papa not just for sharing his DNA but also for raising him the best way possible to become just like him.
