Being a good mom and wife

Find a man who is a giver and will always put your needs first. The kind of guy who, when you come home after a bad day at work, draws you a bath and lets you relax while he makes dinner, then listens to you complain about your day without offering any advice. And who will also make sacrifices in his career and lifestyle when kids come along. And who willingly goes to therapy and reads relationship books.

It’s so hard to be a good wife or mom when you’re constantly being drained day in and day out.

TRUTH. A man who willingly listens and changes his behaviors when you express a preference or bring up an issue. BEWARE of the man who just reflexively refuses to do what you ask on principle, or doesn't know how to compromise.

good mom: loves the child they got. Supports him or her to become the best version of themselves (not some image the parent dreamed up before that unique human being was born). Is reliable and responsible. Models health relationships and demonstrates good self esteem.

Would say the same for a good dad.

Good wife: supports the fallible human they chose to legally attach to for life. Builds them up and supports their efforts. Is honest and keeps promises. Gives and takes fairly, when it comes to adult responsibilities (which include providing financial support and raising children who they create).

Husbands idea. Pure genius—they clean up each afternoon, walk the dog, vacuum, take trash out, mow the lawn, clean their bathroom, empty the dishwasher.

I’m basically just doing my day job and Peloton and putting out at night.

This is a beautiful situation! Congrats.

Does this really exist?
