10 THINGS EVERY WIFE
WISHED HER DRIVER UNDERSTOOD
By Shelly Head
1. Just because it looks easy to keep everything together doesn't mean it is.
2. We don't always know that you miss us. Tell us; we need to hear it.
3. Please be consistent when calling home. It makes us feel connected to you.
4. When we tell you the ugly details of our day, we are not complaining or blaming you, we just need to be heard.
5. A card or note goes a long way to help ease the disappointment of a missed special occasion.
6. We are not your maid, baby sitter, accountant, cook, nurse etc., So don't treat us that way. When you're home pick up after yourself and pitch in with the kids and housework.
7. We love our children, we love you, but sometimes we hate having to do it all and be it all the time. We need time away too.
8. Although you're only home a few days, take time to focus on us without the children. We need to feel desirable. Its hard to feel sexy when the kids are in your lap instead me.
9. Be a father when you're home and when you're away. I can not be both mother and father and do not want to be. Remember what's important to the kids. When you're home attend their activities; praise their achievements; address problems.
10. Don't assume I have all the answers and that I can handle anything. I am not always strong and confident. I need you to make my world safe and secure sometimes.
