In a society where fathers are abdicating their roles, it is newsworthy when a man takes up his responsibility and even goes an extra mile. That is why we are here ladies and gentlemen!

A Ugandan dad has been receiving praise from social media users after sharing the big changes he had to make after welcoming a newborn into his family.

In a post on Facebook, the lad who goes by the name Shamora Collins revealed that he and his wife mulled over what they would do after their baby Christabel was born.

He says the idea of getting a house help crossed his mind but after seeing how inhumane they are, he decided not to.

As such, Collins had to learn how to bathe, dress, feed and hold the little one with some help from his wife.

He has been doing this for a month now and contrary to popular belief that taking care of a baby is taxing, he says he is enjoying every single moment.

Before concluding the post which has since garnered 7,600 likes and 800 shares, Collins called on his fellow dads not to be ashamed of taking up such roles.

This is what he posted.

When my wife wife's maternity was done she wondered what we would do for baby Christabel since she had to resume work. I thought of hiring a maid but after seeing brutal maids actions I told my wife I will be going to work with her. She laughed I told her I couldn't risk my child with a maid, my work being flexible and my wife couldn't go with her. I took up the role so I asked my wife how to bathe her, feed her, dress her and how to hold her which she gladly taught me. Its a month now since I started working with my daughter. I am happy and enjoying every moment ,she no longer cries for the mum anymore. Baby Christabel thanks for being cooperative she sits well in her car seat and listens to music and we drive too and from work as she laughs. Thanks my boss for letting me bring my daughter along . and to all my colleagues thanks for the support. Fellow men Don't get ashamed of your children play your role. Proud Dad.
