love after a child
there is still love after a child you have to be willing to make time for each other so when you have that special time together you have the chance to express your love for one another. In the article love after a child they were so involved with the gender roles. It all depends on the person if the father is always willing to help out then it puts less stress on the mother so she doesn't feel like she's doing everything and they have more time for each other. It's really important to share the roles so the child also sees that mommy and daddy are acting like a team and that's what I want to be like when I grow up. Most of the time the mother does do it all and that puts a huge strain on her to also be a partner and lover. She becomes so worried about making sure the kids are taken care of and the house as well. The fathers should learn to always help out they should help rear the child after all the child is theirs as well. Nowadays it seems a lot more of a balancing act we are seeing more stay at home dad's which that wouldn't of happened earlier in the years. They are becoming more involved which is great. Thank you for listening.

I agree with you that the article states a lot of the gender roles. I believe that if you are married to a man that is willing to take part of the chores around the house the relationship will go smoothly with no complaints, even if there is a new baby arriving. It is great that you said that if mom and dad share the duties around the house it'll show a great example for children around the home. It’s nice that men are now stepping up and relieving some of the chores from women because women are just as well hard workers like men are.
ReplyDeleteI am also really happy to see more active fathers in today's times. I think a decade ago or so we were seeing moms really burning out from making the transitions from being the main household caretaker to transferring over some of the responsibilities. Communication is huge, finding ways to let your spouse know what you need help with can be complicated sometimes, learning how to listen to what your spouse is says is even more complicated. I think in general we are making great strides in this area, balancing it all can be so overwhelming.
ReplyDeleteGreat point with the gender roles. You are correct that if the man is willing to take on some responsibility then things will work better in their relationship. It was also great that you pointed out that couples need to make time for each other. I think people get wrapped up in being a parent (which should of course be one of your top priorities) but you are also still a romantic partner and can't forget that role. Thanks for your great blog!
ReplyDeleteI agree that parents should work as a team. I know that my son looks up to my husband and wants to be just like him. I'm glad that my husband takes part in house hold chores and always agrees with me if we are trying to discipline him. It makes it easier for a child to understand.
