Name: Munjal Country: India Comment: I am certain that fathering is as important as mothering. The best thing that a father needs to do is 'let go'...and let your instincts take over when you see your baby, just follow that "inner voice." The most important thing, is to learn and listen to that 'inner voice'- for this we men have to learn to relax, get in touch with our deepest emotions and let them flow. Often we men are brought up with lots of restrictions towards emotional expression. When one is father, one needs to let go this conditioning. It may be difficult for the first few weeks,but as time goes one can get tuned in to that 'inner voice.' Just follow it....have no hesitation or awkwardness....just let go...Its sheer bliss, and a deeply healing experience. Name: Fatherhoos is not just materialistic Country: New Zealand Comment: Fathers are often seen as the materiliastic providers -to be more specific , in the olden days where the stay -at -home =mum was the norm . Tosay as both parents often HAVE to work to suppourt the family, the materilastic role of the father is lessened with the financial capabality of the mother. However this is substituted with the role of caring for the kids . Name: Rani Country: India Comment: I agree completely with the entery befor mine .

I advice other women to emphasis the same Name: MANISHA Country: india Comment: It is exllent artical. Name: Anamika Country: india Comment: Good article. I find around me that my friends(young men) are more interested in taking care of their babies unlike their fathers(& forefathers) who had a passive role in parenting. Also it provides more relief to mothers who juggle between home & work. And it's nice to find out that its not all a WOMAN'S JOB as it was before. Name: Vijay Country: usa Comment: I agree. As a child, I had to grow up with relatives, far from my parents, who were working abroad while I went to school in India. So, after our daughter came into this world, I was determined not to take jobs that require long hours or travel (no startups or consulting companies for me!), just so I could see my daughter grow up. And it has been a wonderful experience - bathing her, feeding, diaper changes, putting her to bed, so much so that she now misses me more than her mom when I am not at home! And that makes me very proud and happy. IMO, there are 2 things that only a woman can do - breastfeed and give birth. Dads are equally capable of doing everything else. On our visits to India, my relatives admire the way I take care of my daughter. They say, "he takes care of her as if he was her mother". And that makes me very happy. Name: Ramesh Shah Country: india Comment: I agree with the views in the article, but I do not have the time to be a supportive father. My job is such that it entails traveling 5 days a week.
