Daddy ..I NEED YOU.. !!

Dear Brindha,

Well written story with a lovely message for all dads ... I love the way you write dear ... My kids enjoy playing with my hubby ... even though he forgets his keys and purse while we go out ... he never forgets to play with kids whenever he is at home ... he takes them to swimming, all three (DH, DS & DD) go for cycling living me and my little one alone at home ... even some times, when they all go for shopping he takes them to Mac donald ... kids really enjoy his presence more than me :rolleyes: ... as often they all go out and myself and my little boy stay at home which makes me to have an excuse to enjoy IL ...

Thanks for sharing a lovely cute story Brindha ... keep it up dear ...

hi brindhak,

You always need a balanced atmosphere in the house for the kids. As kids sense all kinds of discomfort more than us and they are more sensitive.

In my experience and observatsions, I always found few fathers do not know how to mingle with the kids, they also don't understand that they need to be present and give quality time,more than the money and the things that the money they earn gives.

In your story,Nethra accepts karthik's being a busy. I feel that as a mother it would have been your responsibility to make the husband understand his mistakes before it is too late. See, though we can accept the husband to be busy as a wife, as a mother your responsibility widens and it becomes your responsibility to bring in both the children and the father to gether to enjoy each other... (just wanted to tell you this..though i liked your version of the story with gautam paving the way...)

it is very much neccessary to bring in this harmony to have happy kids...

I talk from experience.and quality of the time spent is more important and sometimes overrides the quantity of the time.

I guess this story actually happens with all those busy fathers and every one of us fit in here in some/ other role....My son waits for his dad to come back home and play with the car and past 1 week DH has been so busy that he reaches home, opens Laptop and starts working...This guy runs around him "papa papa car,car"...and DH feels bad that he is not able to devote time for kiddo...anyways I take kiddo out of the home and leave DH at peace thinking that the fathe son bonding can take place hopefully after a week when the workload comes down!!

Cheers!!
Anu

Dear Anu...

This beautiful thought was also depicted through the movie(Tamil) - Rythm where Actor Meena will take the boy child to the hair dressers(male) shop and the boy will miss so much without Arjun(actor) not teaching him cycling etc.

Your story reminded me of the movie and the sequences.

Well penned! Enjoyed it.

Dear Aishu..

Thankyou very much for a Wonderful feedback....

"Rythm".. A Fantastic film dear.. I like the film a lot.. Very neat movie...Yes there are some embrassing moments for mom..in the absence of the father...

Hi brindha,

Nice story, well narrated.Felt like reading an interesting one page story in magazines.

Brindha,
Your story is too good. Yes, the father's of this era, not all but some dont understand that materials didnot matter for the kids but the father's love, affection and presence is absolutely needed for the kids.

I still remember my childhood very well and the time we all spent together on all days. He taught us so many things in life which are helping us now. Though my husband is unable to spend that much amount of time with our kids, he is trying to give his quality time whenever possible.

A nice story at the right time dear.

Hi Brinda,

Your narration is simply superb.

Gautam is lucky cos his dad realized his mistake at least now. Still the son can get his desires fulfilled. Better late than never.

This reminds me of my dad. Though I was the only child, pampered by him, yet my father never took me outside, even to the park / beach. My mother used to fulfill all my desires.

I used to pray god that my husband should spend more some time with his son..Wanted my son to get whatever I was missing from my father.

Believe me my husband makes sure that both of us are happy and takes us to many places possible.

When I told this to my mother she felt too happy for me and said that she has been gifted to get a son in law like him and whatever my dad couldn't give me , my husband gives in double.

Not trying to blame my father...This was the only thing I was missing..Otherwise he is such a loving father who used to take utmost care of me. Every second of my life I would like to thank god for giving me such wonderful parents.

Brinda dear, Thanks for giving me an opportunity to share my feelings.

I had a wonderful upbringing with the care and complete support of my father.As long as he was alive he contributed equally in our upbringing and i was more attached to him than Mom at that point of time. Got nostalgic reading your post!

Thanks for sharing it here!

Love,
