eternal question that plagues all couples, irrespective of where they hail from, orient or occident, which culture they belong to, where they stay, what they do...
as soon as the child is born, there are discussions on who it looks like... mom, dad, grand parents or uncle and aunts... both families stake claim to a certain part of the newborn... hands are like X, feet like Y, forehead like F, nose like Z...
as soon as habits start forming, again the same battle of ownership...
later when traits start showing, a similar pattern...
while all this keep happening, we seem to forget the little one... that she/he is a unique creation and does not have to be like anyone else, forget the families...
and one odd thing about the fathers is that when the child does something good, he becomes the proud parent... contrarily, when she goofs up... in either a subject or a decision or judging people... the lineage is quickly transferred lock stock and barrel to the mother...
funny, but happens many times... so watch out and next time it does happen, do raise a voice...
and here, i am no exception... for all the good traits that R has, B is responsible; for all the difficult traits that she has, i am... no i do not agree with this and make it known very clearly... so you too do your bit, please.

things are getting increasingly difficult with the lady turning a champion of the feminist brigade! all my sympathies are with the smitten husband.
