Day 2:
Notice Today:
What are three things your husband does well as a father?
Nurture Today:
Allow your husband to parent the kids using his unique style. Don't try to make him into a clone of you. Tell him today-or write a note-expressing your appreciation. If you have belittled him as a father in the past, apologize and tell him you're going to trust him more in the future.
Todays reading really made me think. We don't have kids yet but I could see how easy it was to let things get out of hand and how women view things differently then Men and at times we NEED to take the time and see things through each others eyes.
ReplyDeleteMy husband is a wonderful father. I have 2 children Brooke who is 6 and Isaac who is 2. He is always making sure to find ways that our kids know that they are loved and very important to us. He is always planning trips to the park or movies and popcorn or just taking time to wrestle with them. Another great thing that he does is he makes sure that our kids are not spoiled but always have what they need. In today society it is so common to lavish gifts on your kids for whatever reason. The 3rd thing is that my husband loves my daughter as his own. Many people would never guess that Brooke was not biologically Tommy's (cause weirdly enough they have looked alike since she was a baby). But at six weeks old he took on the "insta-family" when he met me and has been a solid husband and father. I have caught myself on occasion reiterating my husband disciplines at my kids to not sound so bad. I think I do pretty well at catching myself and keeping my mouth shut.
