I am more intrigued by this post. Thanks for reminding us of it in 2009 recap, Brijesh.<br /><br />I read all the comments too. What I can say is that all this feedback, and your insights also are based on each person&#39;s individual experiences. Though generalizations are easy to make, sometimes we are not aware of situations in other parts of the countries we are native to. I had some of these

Hello Brijesh<br /><br /> Stumbled upon your blog on blog adda. Very-2 nice post. Liked it a lot. Its true that thre is a huge difference in cultures of Purab n Paschimm. <br /><br />And regarding diaper changing by husbands is now catching up in India too. Did your wife read &quot;What to expect when you are expecting&quot;? Its really a toooooo good book. And it answers your so many queries.

&quot;Answer is very simple. Here in US a child is born to two individuals who are supposed to take care of the kid all by themselves. In India, a baby is born into two families where everyone in the family will be there to take care of the baby and the responsibilities of taking care of the baby get shared between the family members.&quot;<br /><br />In India too the child is born to two

You are thinking so different that you are not able to realize that you are talking non-sense. And when you blow your trumpet, it feels so ridiculous. :)<br /><br />The comments above mine reiterate that. :)

dear brijesh..<br /><br />i dont think everyone will agree with u that the baby will be taken care of by the family in india. This&#39;ll only happen if they live with the family if parents r working itz difficult.. me and my husband brought up our kid the same way taking turns at night and so on and lots of our cousins r doin the same.. now grandparents have changed too. thtz one of the reason y

The purpose of this post was not about diaper or diaper change. It was to point out some differences. Also to point out a fact there is greater family support available in India and Indian culture than in US. <br /><br />Kuttyedathi,<br /><br />Nice thoughts. Comments like this make my blog post complete.

Brijesh,<br /><br />Let me share my thoughts about this.<br /><br />It is not true that US grand parents are not taking care of their grand kids. At my daughter&#39;s school, more than 50 % of kids are dropped and picked to and from school by their grand parents. Obviously, at 3 PM both parents will be at work and afterschool care is lil too expensive to afford. And I know many american kids

Did you mean you prefer the Indian way where female extended family members take care of everything so that you don&#39;t have to change diapers here or attend any class longer than 4 hours? Be proud of the opportunity you got and please don&#39;t complain.

I have to agree with 5:31. Where are you saying how you are fortunate to have a greater role in the raising of your child? Too much emphasis is placed on how in India other family members do everything, what about how happy you are to be involved in changing diapers, and being there for the delivery for your kid? Those are incredible, unique experiences that you have that those in India dont&#39;

Hmm...so the moral of the story was - I don&#39;t want to change my baby&#39;s diapers, I rather have my extended family from India come down and do that job for me.

Love that Brijesh!!! I completely agree.. Infact yesterday I was explaining to american classmate about how in India we live with our parents until we are grown up and then parents live with us after we are grown ups.. He could not first understand why do you have to stay together :)!!.<br />My friend&#39;s mom could not digest the fact that her daughter had hired a baby sitter because both were
