a second child is a truly humbling expereince. you cannot devote the time and energy that you could with the first but they are turn out okay and perhaps in some ways hardier than the first ones. you then realise that kids can thrive despite you and not because of you!

Sundar: Men don’t contribute anything?! Not true, atleast not in my house hold. One thing I have learnt in eight years of marriage – ‘if I want help, I have to ASK for it’!

Why the guilt? Actually I feel that husbands in general (Desi I mean) are much more helpful and involved with domestic chores in the US than in India. It is the only side-effect of my moving back to India

DH used to be involved a lot with poppin’s care before (and I was a SAHM at that time) and now not so much when I could actually use more help He figures that there are enough people to help me here and that I just want him to work hard
