Why I want a regular upbringing for my little one: A father's account

As a rule, I think the only important thing to take care of especially in early days is to not change your life upside down.
First she came into my life and changed my house into a home and then after a couple of years she came back to that home with my daughter to complete the family. I decided before my marriage, come what may, I will not let her change my life, nor did I intend to change hers. I tried hard to do that but things invariably changed and that was when I realized they changed but for good but what I also realized was there was no need to change things suddenly and intentionally because someone is going to be with you for the rest of her life.
I continued with that learning when my daughter came home for the first time. I still remember my Mom telling me to switch off the TV so my baby can sleep and I said "NO". Not that the TV show was more important than my child’s sleep but it was important for her future sleeps. I had seen my older cousins ensuring pin drop silence so that the child can sleep and every marriage/function they attended turned out to be a worst nightmare than the previous one. I did not want that for my baby and it actually helped. Again I am not saying you start playing hard rock when your child wants to sleep, just do not change anything, if it is quiet, let it be, if it is a little noisy, still let it be.
They don’t need silence for sleeping and you do not need to intentionally change yourself and the environment around you. They learn everything here, so if you do not change anything, they will happily learn to live your true environment. And the best part is if your environment does not change, you are in your comfort zone and as a ratio you tend to smile more and frown less which is what your baby will pick up too. Although I am no expert in managing babies and whatever I wrote is just my opinion but I think it felt like a winner when on her 1st birthday my house was overflowing with people, my cousins, their children, grandparents and one of my cousins next morning told me, “This is the most hassle free 1 year old I have seen till date.” So if at all you think an intentional change should be there, just contain it to yourself and ensure you smile as much as you can so your child learns to do the same.
Happy Parenting!!!
