La La Land Mommy: Mom And Wife Balance
I am a stay at home mom. I know that my main job as a stay at home mom is to make sure my kids are healthy and happy. So there are some days when I need a few Stay at home mom quotes to keep me going and motivated and focused on the ‘job’. Okay that would be my job if I had a job too. But what I am saying is they are my main focus while The Husband is at work. Sometimes I get so wrapped up in their wants, needs, and activities that I not only forget about myself I forget about my husband too. Not good right? I am so worried about failing as a mom that sometimes I fail as a wife. The Husband had to remind me he was here last week and I felt so bad. This is because I hadn’t been around much since our youngest has been in band. I have been wrapped up in supporting him. Going to games to watch him perform and volunteering as a parent. I mean you want your kids to know you have their back right? But this isn’t the first time he has had to remind me of this.
I guess what I am saying is sometimes finding that balance is so hard that you have to remind yourself to take at least five minutes for your spouse because they need you as much as the kids need you. Without them you wouldn’t have the little people that you worry about failing so much. You need to connect with the person you said I do to however many years ago. For us it was sixteen years ago. I have been working on focusing on him more. I just want to connect with him again. The phrase happy wife, happy life isn’t true. You both have to be happy to have a happy life. No one should be more happy than the other. Two things you can do to make sure that you and your spouse reconnect:
- Communicate: Ask each other how the other’s day is going. Catch each other up on the kids.
- Date night: Book concert tickets or check out the fanciest restaurant near you. Have a date night. Try to enjoy your time together.
