Yes this can be tough with an ever growing, crazy baby (toddler?) and lately when J is home we fight. We fight about who does what, who deserves more, who works harder blah blah blah.
I'm having an epiphany. Bare with me.
Does it matter whose changed the most bums, whose cleaned the most dishes, whose driven the farthest whose had the most sleepless nights?
No it does not. We are both sacrificing so much to be able to live the life we lead. I'm devoted to the child and yes, i do have to miss out on some things to put his needs before my own but I am a mother and that is my job.
J is sacrificing much much more then I, he is missing out on precious time with his son and his wife, to provide a comfortable life for us. I appreciate this more then I can say, yet I am not showing it in my actions towards James.
I am an entitled person, I hate it and am trying my best to change. I do not like entitled people and I wish I was not one. I want things I know I do not need but this is human right?
I want my husband and child to have everything their hearts desire but I also want seb to grow up knowing the value of a dollar and realize most of his wants are not needs. I want him to be the most courteous and well mannered child there is. First I need to be this way to set an example for my son.
This points me in the direction of frugal living. I'll save that for another post
