Another user while commenting on the difference in parenting between the two generations wrote, "Many dads don't want to play second fiddle. It is probably the last generation where dads want to boss around. Our generation will know when to let go."

It seemed like a user related to the post word by word. She commented, "My mom said to me, tumhe paal posh kar bda krne ke baad pta chala log ek se jyada bacche kyun krte hain".
