It is an ironic coincidence that neither the lords Krishna nor Rama were able to enjoy the plays and prattle of their children as babies. In the case of Krishna, according to the story, Pradyumna was carried off as a baby, and returns to the Yadavas only after he becomes a grown up man. Whereas in the case of Rama, his children were born in the forest, and he sees them first as young lads, at an age well able to recite a whole kavya by rote.
Not much different was the fate of their parents too. Rama's parents had to bear many years of separation from him, while in the case of Krishna his parents again had to live separated from him until the death of Kamsa.
In the language of the Jyotishis, isn't it some "family karma" at work!
