Peer pressure

This is very common term in corporate world. You,me and everyone in corporate world could have faced this pressure. I am shocked to see that my 4 month old son is feeling this pressure...Trust me, my 4 month old son is facing more peer pressure than what I have felt during my 9 years of work experience.

My mom called me one day morning (he was just 3.5 months old then) just to ask whether he has started turning around...This is supposed to be first milestone of a newborn. Next is sitting, crawling and so on My answer was 'No'...she said how come her friend's grandson has done it when he was just 3 months old...she said why don’t I just help him do this activity....From that day, till he succeed in doing it, her only question was, has he turned around today. I am pretty sure she could have prayed all known Hindu God that her grandson should start laying down on his stomach....

Just because the other kid who is same age as my son has started crawling, she has stared asking if my son has started crawling or not....

I know this is first peer pressure he is facing...soon it will be followed by activities like walking, talking ...and then pressure in School, college, sports...and So On...................

God save my son from this kind of pressure.....
