[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Husband is first, because we are a team. It's better for the kids that way. [/quote]

Husband has to act like a teammate in order to come first.  If DH asks to be number one, he's likely just adding duties to DW's plate.  If you take duties from her plate, she'll have more time for you.[/quote]

+1.  My husband is #1 but in a different way than I relate to the children.  If he whined about feeling like #1 and did not pull his weight as a husband and a parent  he would not be #1 in any way.  He would be my least favorite child.[/quote]

Right.  If you want to be #1, by which you mean, you just want the bulk of your wife's attention and energy, then you are just another child, just another burden, just another demand on her time and energy.  If you want to be important, then you have to be a partner.  It works for both people--if you view it as a competition with your kids, then you will lose.  If you view it as being a teammate in making a home and a family together, then you will be. [/quote]
