Asian men and childcare.
Are Asian men rubbish at looking after their kids? Plus Qaisra Khan, curator of the British Museum's Hajj Exhibition, is in the studio chatting to Nihal.
At 1, Nihal asks 'Are Asian men rubbish at looking after their kids?'
A programme called 'Daddy Day Care', airing tonight, will show three men working in a nursery and tackling every aspect of childcare. Research for the programme claims that British women do twice as much childcare as men, and nearly half of all mothers feel that their partners don't do their fair share.
But if this research had been done specifically within the Asian community would it have been even different?
Do people still believe that it is the woman's role of bringing up the children? Are men missing out by not changing the nappies? Or have Asian men evolved in to hands-on dads and enjoying it? Call Nihal and tell him what you're up to with your kids during half-term.
At 2, Qaisra Khan, Curator of the Hajj Exhibition on at the British Museum will be in the studio, chatting to Nihal. Have you been on Hajj? How did it change your life? Is it something ever Muslim must aspire to doing?
And if we have time, Is it tacky to put jewellery on a baby?
Stars of the Big Fat Gypsy Weddings are pictured in one of today's paper's with their blinged up baby. At what age did you get your daughter's ears pierced? Are Asians obsessed with gold? Or do you think blinging out your child is a good way of displaying your wealth and status?
