[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]What exactly do you mean by “partner comes first”?

“Partner comes first” as in my spouse had an absolutely horrible day and would like me to stay home and keep him company instead of going out with friends?

I mean, can you elaborate? [/quote]

Households where the couple prioritizes themselves oftentimes with the thoughts that the children will one day move on and they will be left with each other. Ive also seen people blog about it as a Religious thing too, where its God first then husband/wife then children hierarchy. [/quote]

That’s just one narrow way of looking at it. The other more common sense approach is the spousal relationship is they keystone of the family and should be the focus instead of becoming child-focused. It is [b]indisputable[/b] that this is the best way to parent and that has nothing to do with religion. It’s just common sense. [/quote]

I strongly disagree. I've been married for 20 years and DH and I have always put our children's needs first. This is what my parents did too. This is what everyone I know does, except for patriarchal households where the father has the last word and his wife lives to serve him and the household.[/quote]

No. You are wrong and probably raising little sociopathic kids. No father first bs either.  Family starts with mom and dad and flows on a needs basis from there.  [/quote]
