Re: What about Dad?
i've noticed (my bro-in-laws in particular) that many guys nowadays have become more involved in their children's lives from infancy. They wake up many times in the middle of the night, they help get the kids ready for bed at night etc.....
i agree with u....i 2 salute the fathers who play an active role in their child's life!!
My observation is that fathers of our generation (including myself, Alhamdulillah) participate in their kids life and support their wives in handling them much more than dads of previous generations did. Thankfully my own father was an exception, but most of the "dads" of his age had very limited interaction with their kids.
I think that is a very positive development. Not only because I enjoy spending time with my son a lot, but also because I know that this gives my wife time to do other things or just to relax. The understanding that beeing a housewife and mother is not an easy job is much more present in the minds of todays fathers than it was in those days when we were kids.
