Finally after two weeks in-absentia due to computer virus, I’m back to life again. My biggest daily challenge was trying to get myself and my son ready in the morning and still made it to work on time. Every day was a constant battle between me and my son. I am always on the clock every morning; every minute is precious that I tend to rush my son, and I think he hates it. I even made him eating his breakfast in the car. For the longest time I refused to have my husband taking him to daycare because he normally doesn’t get there until after 9:30 am. By that time my son typically misses his morning snack.
This past couple weeks my husband has been taking my son to daycare almost every day, because either I have to be at work early for a meeting or woke up so late that I didn’t even have time to get my son ready. Turns out my son really loves his new schedule. He wakes up by himself, walks into our bedroom and cuddles with daddy for a few minutes. After they cuddle, my hubby gets ready, changes my son’s clothes, brushes his teeth, and they both eat breakfast together. No yelling. No rushing. Everything was done in pure fun. And the most important thing, my hubby gets to spend quality time with my son. Yes he may miss his morning snack, but how much does it really cost compare to spending father and son quality time?
The point of my story is that we, women, complain and nag a lot that our hubby doesn’t do anything in taking care of household or raising our kids. But if we step back and let them do their way, you’ll be surprised of what they can accomplish!
