Was the subject scare you off when i say "I Love You Husband"? Well.... I was read a magazine when this title make me wonder what the story will be! After read it, and be single mom for few years, I totally agree with this story. I can feels for this woman and totally understand and be in her shoes what have been through. Even now i had husband, but my life seen to act like single mom again.
Most of us had husband. We complains a lot of about our husband who don't do this or do this wrong way. But did you even think about those single moms who don't have husband at all?? How was they feels?? Single mom had to do everything all by herself without any help. Is not they don't need help, they want someone to help. Nobody want to be single mom, they rather married a jerk than be single mom. Let me share with you what i mean.
We as mother want everything looks so perfect and nice. For example kids: We want this color of shirt to match with this color of pant, or this color of dress match with this pair of shoe. When ask husband for help, man just take from the drawer and put them on the kids without match the color or make sense at all. Mothers, what the first things come to your mind??? You will get angry because your kids look like a crown with green shirt match with pink dress and blue socks match with yellow shoes or maybe two different colour of sock for each feet. How about this; you need help in folding your clean clothing. The way your husband and you fold is totally different ways. Will you accept it and put inside the cupboard or will you refold again?? Did your husband help you feed your baby during middle of night, and let you have extra sleep? Did he help you change baby diapers even he have problem seal the diapers and end up using tape to tape around the diapers? Husband just try to help, but things don't get what we want to be, husband just give up and do nothing without helping. When husband do nothing, we nag and we get upset for he being not helpful. You get what i mean now??
When single mom see you had husband, they actually envy of you (trust be, i been there, and i totally agree). No matter what stupid thing man do, single mom wish to have a husband like you have. They loves your husband. Hey, don't get this sentence wrong, they loves your husband, not fall in love. They love your husband who help you do this and that or help you babysit kids, so you can take a break or hangout with others. Think about this, single mom don't have break or free babysitter. It easy to find babysitter in Asia or those who lives nearby with family, but in big country like USA, both your family and in law are so far away from another states, you have problem find free babysitter or you have pay by hourly just like me.
When you sad and cry, you had husband give you shoulder to lead on it and weep your tears and confor you. When you have good news, your husband are there share with you too. Basically you had someone to share everything with you. Think about those stupid thing your husband do, it actually make you smiles. But Single moms don't have. Let treasure our husband, hold our complains to think the good side of them and think about what have him been done for you. Remember single moms don't have.
Love you
