[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Every dad I know who is helpless is partially that way because he has a wife who enables him.  Some of these moms rarely if ever go anywhere.  They never go or for a girls night, don’t work and don’t go on trips without their husband and kids.  [/quote]

[b]I admit that I am a but like this.[/b] I like that I’m the primary parent and my husband depends on me for the care of the children. I do go out and travel without them 1x a year, but that just makes him appreciate me even more. [b]He thinks I am super mom and I love [/b]it.[/quote]

Interesting—I admit I don’t know many people like thus.  I’m curious, what was your identity before motherhood?[/quote]

I was a top student throughout college but have wanted to be a SAHM for as long as I can remember. My mom was not. She was loving but worked and was a poor time manager. I never got much of her time and she was always frazzled. Most of my friends had SAHM’s (this was the 80’s) and it seemed so idyllic to me.

My husband can take care of the kids/entertain them/keep them safe/feed them, but he has no clue about their clothing/shoe sizes, when their after school activities are, what kind of homework they have and when it’s due, etc. He’s never filled out one of those dull repetitive info sheets the school makes you fill out at the beginning of the year.[/quote]
