A man's point of view that I hope doesn't reflect all spouse's points of view. I know I am consumed by my children but that is my choice. It is my job to nuture and support but also to let them see strengths and weaknesses as well. Do marriages suffer - yup. Do they have to? Nope. Yes, my husband slipped on the totem pole, I have to admit. Who said raising kids was going to have no negative impact on a marriage? But if he were to set this article on my counter with a bouquet of roses I would be furious. Instead, he would better our relationship by pitching in, helping make arrangements for date nights, and still showing me he valued me as a woman and not "just" a mother and wife. Not by trying to tell me that my kids are making me crazy and destroying our marriage. Who is this guy??? Perhaps he should tell the inquiring husband to stop whining, appreciate his wife AND their children, make a contribution to his relationships, and think about the short years those kids are going to be bringing laughter to his home before they are out on their own. No one diagreed???? Probably because they were speechless with incredulousness.<br /><br />DawnAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-38916455.post-66297036857812956322010-07-02T16:58:55.453-04:002010-07-02T16:58:55.453-04:00OMG, those comments got my back up!!!

This doesn't even make sense. However, I will say that I think being a wife is as important as being a mother. After all, who is my daughter going to use as a role model when she finds her soulmate?
