2·23 Oct 2026·on Long drive for Diwali with a 3 month old. Everyone in the family has a different opinion

Same question from the other end. My wife is at her parents' place in Suryapet, seven months along, and we're still deciding whether the delivery happens there or here in Hyderabad. If it's there, the first drive back with the baby will be at about 3 months, like yours. So I'm reading this for myself also. How are you planning the stops?

0·15 Oct 2026·on How heavy is the homework at Good Citizens High School around class 6?

Not a parent yet, our first is due soon. But I studied State Board till 10th in Suryapet, then B.Pharm, and the board never came up anywhere after that. If the school is close and he is happy, that counts for a lot.

1·17 Aug 2026·on On-call nights, and my 15 year old now stays up 'to keep me company'

Not a parent yet (soon), so take this lightly. My father had night duty for a few years when I was in school and I used to wait up too. What finally made me stop was him saying it made him more tense, because he kept looking at me instead of his work. 'Go to sleep' never worked on me. 'You're distracting me' did.

2·24 Jul 2026·on College started this week. Now I'm the one texting 'what time will you be back'

Reading this as a father-to-be. Noting 'later' as the answer we're up against.

0·8 Jul 2026·on Our 16 year old wants her own debit card. I can't settle on a limit, or whether to look at it

I got my first account only at 18, for scholarship money in college. First month I spent it all on a phone and had to call my father. Wish I had practised with small amounts before that. Let her make the small mistakes now.

2·19 Apr 2026·on Last day of class 8, and he came home with the whole class's names on his school shirt

Our whole inter batch did this at the farewell in Suryapet. My amma still has my shirt folded at the back of her cupboard. Let him keep this one and buy another.
