A Daughter-in-Law to her Mother-in-law : Please don't teach me how to raise my kids - I'm married to one of yours and believe me there's room for improvement!
If you are part of a joint family then you must have heard a common phrase by elderly women “ Hamne aise hee char bachhon ko bada nahee kiya hai,Tum aaj kal ke generation 1 bachhe se hee pareshan ho jate ho”
But my personal believe is that new age parenting is far better that old age. Thanks to family planning now the count of kids in family is decreased so the love and affection of parents are not being shared and kids are being more pampered by their parents.
Most important change of new age parenting is participation of father. In the old age parenting hardly any father might have changed the nappy of his child but new age fathers are doing it. Kids are now more close to their father. Now father is not just a figure to create discipline or earn money for upbringing but they equally participate with mother, nurturing their kids.
In my resent visit to my hometown one of my aunt praising his grandson said to me “Aaj kal ke bachhe Papa wale ho gaye hain” I replied “No its other way Aaj kal ke Papa, bachhon wale ho gaye hain”

i agree with you .. :)
