Don't get me wrong, I KNOW that men have it hard too. It's just a different type of hard life.
I want to be able to sleep when the kids are sick.
I want to be able to say, they don't want me, they want you.
I want to be able to escape to work.
I want to be taken care of when I am sick.
I want to be able to help my wife the best that I can.
I am tired of being the parent that the kids want up with them in the middle of the night. Or the one that has to take them to the ER when the fever reaches 103. Or the one responsible for keeping everything and everyone together.
I love my husband and he does his best to take care of me, but what can he do when the kids only want mommy?
I am so with you on this. It is always Mommy when he wakes up...I'd love to be the one to sleep past 6am someday.
