Re: My mistake, My Child's mistake
I tried a simple test with my nephew, i let him decide his path as a baby. If he grew up to love what i loved then i shall do my best as an uncle to bring him up as a man like his uncle. If in childhood he ignores our ways then i wont press them on him when he is older, simple.
In my case the first thing my nephew ever did was call me Chaand Chachu, uncle moon. He is now 9 years old and still calls me moon, i have never told him my real name but i have brought him up in the way i was brought up becuase he showed interest in our ancestral ways. To this day he rejects footabll in favour of my swords and i am proud of him. I have no son of my own but i will bring up my nephew as he wishes to be brought up.... and will not expose him to anything he does not favour i take him out with me and he shows the same airs and graces as myself, the usual contempt for general society and struggles to be a fine Muslim Faris.... his father would be proud.
