SAHD stay at home dad

Stay at home moms is something we all know, but stay at home dads is someone you must have heard of, or may have someone around you. 

It's the biggest career moves one can make. Men are always looked upon as a masculine power who has to work hard and earn for the family.

This blog I am writing specially for those dads who have turned moms who have taken all the responsibilities of the motherhood. While, we are celebrating the Mother's Day we should also ensure that we celebrate those dads who have done all the part of mothers in their absence. I have seen many cases where fathers have proved to be good parent than mothers the way they take care of their child is really worth appreciating. These days bringing up of child is not only the responsibility of mother but it is equally balanced by the father. In some cases where fathers have come forward and understood the responsibility of the working mothers. Where they accept the challenge of staying at home or working from home this is probably seen in those cases mothers job is more challenging and demands more attention. Whereas in some cases it is more of just an empathy towards mothers. While we say that mothers are not leaving any stone unturned with respect to their demands of job and career, they are giving a tough to men,on the other hand men are also balancing the same by taking care of kids sharing the burden of parenthood just by being a stay-at-home dad.

We say that dads and mum collectively bring up the children, their way of teaching the child is different. When they both are involved in physical activities with child dad tries to make the child stronger than mothers tries to make the child more sensitive. Mothers and fathers parents children differently but that is the greatest benefit the child can have.

SAHD's are not homemakers but that is the choice they have made. They encourage the woman to give her hundred percent in her career and stay more oriented and focused on her responsibilities in office. Today handing over your baby to a Nanny is of a great risk and considering the increasing crime in case of children, having your better half at home to take care of your child is the biggest asset a woman can have.

Today's Lifestyle demands both the parents to be working or say earning, in such cases I would like to share an example of one of my colleagues who was working in a day shift and his wife was working in night shift it was quite easy for them to handle the child in the absence of other parent. And the child was happy to get the complete attention of each parent when around.

It's not easy to be a SAHD because society around has a different view of looking towards him, people may think that there is a lack of motivation, or he is in a job search. Our society till date fails to handle the fact that women are equally out in the market to earn like men and men can also choose to stay at home and manage single-handedly given an opportunity. 

Maternity is the biggest phase of women's life when she decides to give up on her career or to continue with the same giving up on her child upbringing. I believe SAHD have given the best gift they can give to their women by staying at home and taking care of the child leaving the mother to explore the opportunities rather than leaving her at home for the Postpartum depression.

SAHD does all every mother do for the child like taking the child to the park, having a play date,cooking for the child, taking care of the child, regular medical visits vaccines and check ups, dressing up the child to the best, attending the B-Day parties,school responsibilities of the child,attending the PTM's,eating habits basically all the responsibility that a mother does when she is at home. He does all the house chores the market,purchasing veggies and grocery managing the maids their duties and their salaries everything becomes a part of his life. 

To understand it better it is more like the movie ki and ka where a man takes care of the entire house home maker and woman is one bread earner.

Where we are celebrating the Mother's Day for all his duties that a mother do we should not forget this stay at home dads who are the best mum today.

Movies are the reflection of society we live in. Where some years back we always herd mother oriented songs in movies... Like tu  kitni  achhi  hian... Maa meri maa.In recent years we have movies like Akele him akele tum...oh I love you daddy and....... sabse acha kaun hian papa mere papa. 

So this mothers day do not forget to remember and cheer up for those dads who have chosen to stay back and be SAHD.... stay at home dad
