It’s universally acknowledged that motherhood receives widespread admiration and respect. Yet, it’s also important to recognize that fatherhood deserves more acknowledgment. Indeed, I am confident in my perspective and fully recognize the immense effort my husband invests in his bond with our son. Unfortunately, we often overlook expressing gratitude for his commitment. Fathers contribute far more than just financial support; they play a pivotal role in the family, equal to that of a mother.
While single mothers embody the strength of real-life heroes, the impact of raising a child solo versus co-parenting is significantly different. A single caregiver often lacks personal time, and it requires a collective effort to nurture a child effectively in a positive and healthy environment.
Whenever my husband is out of sight for a bit in the evening, our son becomes anxious and starts searching for him. He cherishes their walks and playtime together. Moreover, his father is his safe haven, his guardian, and his provider, especially when I have to discipline him. During the quarantine, we’ve spent more quality time together than ever before, which makes me apprehensive about the future when my husband will return to the office. The thought of managing our son on my own is daunting.
I may have my shortcomings as a mother, but my husband compensates for them. While I ensure Shiv’s nutritional and sleep needs, Avi imparts a wealth of knowledge and skills, including communication, daily prayers, sports like cricket and soccer, and even the art of tidying up. He’s also the one who comes up with amusing nicknames, manages the remote control, and nurtures Shivansh’s emotional strength. Avi’s dedication to our son is immense, and through this blog, I want to express my gratitude, letting him know he’s the finest father, an exemplary figure, a hero, and indeed, our family’s reliable support system. 😊🌍
