How difficult can raising a small baby be to parent's?
I could never realised it until I became a father. My baby is ten months old. And it's a boy. He is so naughty that he doesn't sit quietly in one place ever when he is awake.
I go to office and my wife takes care of him. I have no idea how she does it.
We are staying in a rental house in Durgapur that is away from home town. When we were at home then my parents used to take care of him when my wife is busy in household works.
But here she gets no help. I have found out one way though. I tie my baby with a soft cloth loosely around his waist with the bed. The cloth is long enough that he can move around the bed and can little bend over the window and can get the outside view.
Our new neighbors talk with him from the window and he does "tata"(waving hand to say bye bye) to them.
When I was little like him then my mother also used to tie me up with windows, chairs etc.
According to my mother I was also very naughty in my childhood. Sometimes I ask my mother that who is the naughtiest, is it me of my son?
My mother tells me, "you were much more naughtier than him."
My mother also single handedly handled me in my childhood besides her household works when my father went to his jewellery store.
My father used to be very busy that time in business.
During this ten months I have realised that he is my heart. And when he get hurt himself and cries then I feel much more pain inside me. And I feel guilty why I didn't give more attention to him. I feel myself responsible.
Sometimes he get himself hurt under my wife's supervision. Then I get angry on my wife though sometimes I don't express it. But I feel that I am unhappy and angry about my wife.
The feeling about him as a father is unexplainable. You feel like you can die in order to protect your baby.
If you are little uncareful your little angel can hurt himself. At this age he will eat anything that is on the floor.
It's very important to clean the floor frequently If your baby plays their. Sometimes he may fall back side on the floor from sitting position and hurt his head.
I bought him a helmet to protect his head from this kind of unwanted incident.
It doesn't matter how careful you are, how protection you give, at this age he always find a way to get hurt himself if you are little uncareful.
Some bad incidents happened during this time when I remember it, it always feel like nightmares.
He is everything to me. Nothing is and nothing can be more important than him.
I pray "O God! Give us strength and protect our baby."
