Modern parenting has reached a stage where the rush of deadlines, commutes and constant hustle has quietly created a strange new reality in many homes. Kids today often spend so much time with their nannies that the emotional bond meant for parents slowly starts shifting toward caretakers. What used to be an occasional helping hand has, in many families, turned into the child’s primary source of comfort, something most parents don’t realise until someone points it out bluntly. And that “someone,” this time, is actor Sudhanshu Pandey.Speaking on the Dad-Sense Podcast with Subhasis Mishra, Sudhanshu opened up about what he sees around him almost every day in modern, high-rise living. He described scenes any people have observed but rarely talk about, toddlers clinging to caretakers, running into their arms when scared, and looking to them for the kind of emotional reassurance that should ideally come from parents. He admitted the sight is “very stressful”.
