Hey, it was a lovely article. But i guess that this is true for both girl as well as boy babies when they are up till, say age 9months. After that my son knows fully well that when he needs food or has to sleep it is mommy and when he wants to play, it is daddy. He waits for my husband to return from work to play with him. This has not changed though i am with him at home always. I don't know if to attribute this to the fact that he is a boy or to the fact that my husband has all the patience in the world to bath him, play with him even change him.

Hey, my husband has the same opinion as yours. Yesterday when he tried to hold our one and half year old daughter close,she resisited screeming mama.. mama and moved away from him. I told him that its only a matter of time when she will comming running to you and want to be pampered. This understanding comes from my own experience, for far too long i loved my father too much and would hug him, share a talk and make fun with him. Don't bother too much abt raising children girl or boy ! its only recently my husband gave my daughter a bath and that too after much cajoling. Since both of you are working its becomes imperative that you spend a lot of quality time and not fret on who is the more capable at parenting. Its a process and you only do better with experience. Lastly, parents do a better job than most grandparents period !!!

I guess the article was written in a light and jolly mood, and it was fun to read it with the attitude of not being judgemental! To all the mothers who commented so seriously, take it easy. The man is trying hard to extract something for himself from the totally new situation in his life. His girl is very young right now and he will be amazed to know how his 3 yrs old daughter turned him into playing princess(with him as Prince)and dolls and cooking in her toy kitchen....... Let me tell you one thing, long before you introduce your kid to your personality and hobbies, they show you their's and its you who need to learn their interests first.So hang in there, it won't be long when your daughter will come to you complaining about her mother and will say on her mother's face that she loves you more than her mother. Atleast thats my experience. My daughter forgot about all that she had with me. Now at age of 4 she publically announces that she loves her father more.

I don’t understand, why don't you guys accept the fact that Girls are the best? Enough of the excuses that since you were boy so know what boys want... because I am pretty sure after your next child even if he would be a boy you still would not be able to be the best and its your wife who would be is the best. So try to understand; why she understands what her son wants to listen, what he wants to play no matter she is a girl. Man this need commitment, dedication and love from heart which you guys don’t want to offer. You can never understand that or rather never accept that "Girls are the best". They are not selfish and are very adjusting, whether it’s with her extended family or her kids… But still I would like to appreciate that at least you tried to think, “Why you are just better not the Best”, believe me you could be the Best if you try to be by your heart, only thing you have to do is to spare some of your time and commitment towards your kids or extended family members. And you would then be the first one to rush in the middle of night and would see sparkling thanks in your wife’s eye. Don’t just delegate it to your wife, if you want to offer the best to your daughter…Beleive me you could do that too, its not impossible

This is the most stupid article i have ever read.... If you cannot understand the requirements of your child because the child is a girl it is ridiculus .. Have you not seen a mother understanding the requirements of a child even if it is a boy ? All that you say you have not been able to do ... my husband does it very comfortable ... looks like you are not genuine in your actions ... thats all

I think your wife is right in what she says. My husband is more bonded with my baby girl than I am and he has always been more responsive than me so this article is just about a personal perspective as I see it and not a universal thruth.

while i never think my husband is good enough to take care of the children, i have come to accept that he is relatively capable. even if he does things differently. i guess i have to accept icecream and kajus will form a major part of the childrens meals when he is on duty. on the rationale that they are nutritious, for instance.

Nice article. Even after all good intentions most fathers fail to get 'totally involved'. Its more effort for a dada and more spontaneous for a woman. I think if all couples accept this fact, it wud be a great family environment. I guess the universal rule is to just try your best and accept that you can only change yourself and things around you upto a certain extent. Your wife and child will appreciate always if they know that you tried YOUR best

hi.. i was a bit surprised at a particular statement u made. i am a girl, and i play golf and tennis. i have read robert ludlum.. bourne identity, ultimatum etc etc, david morell - rambo first blood etc, clive cussler or whatever, and have long since outgrown them and am now reading rage by salman rushdie. yes i do listen and appreciate hard rock.. none of the things u have described are particularly masculine territory. in fact, these days, there is little that is. there is no reason you cannot introduce your daughter to your interests. it will only help broaden her horizons.. and yours! i don't mean to critisize.. i enjoyed reading your article.

Very nice article. But I have told my hubby too whenever he failed that its lack of commitment. Tho I admit that my husband is very good with my son. Other than birth and breastfeeding he has done everything with utmost patience & no complaints ever. But hey, it is always nice to see the world from the eyes of a child of opposite sex. I like ur delegation theory!!
