To be loved…

I wrote this post as I sat outside at 1am just to escape all the loud crying from two little ones.  Its tiresome and frustrating to deal with children literally all day!  Even when my spouse is home its as if he’s not home because men are soooo different from women (in general).  My spouse will keep sleeping through loud shrills and cries in the middle of the night. If the baby rolls over and falls out the bed im pretty sure my spouse will lay in bed like he didn’t hear a thing just so I can get the baby.  He leaves the apartment with no thought in mind to take at least one of the kids with him. He sleeps on the couch so he can get rest while im left in the bedroom woke trying to get two little ones to sleep.  If the baby is crying he’ll hold the baby (NEAR ME mind you) and just let the baby cry in his arms for hours!   He gets the freedom to go to the restroom alone!  Take showers alone!   Not only that but he shuts the door when he goes in! 😱  I wouldn’t dare shut the door!   One of the kids would most certainly die,  choke or have some type of emergency if I thought of closing the door for 30 seconds of peace!  He eats ALL his food UNINTERRUPTED while I sit their feeding a newborn and trying to eat while my daughter sticks her big head into my plate trying to eat whats on my fork. It can be infuriating not getting a moments rest while the husband carelessly breezes through life 😠

Then I think about other moments like when he comes home after a 12hr shift and  goes into the bedroom to sit and play legos with our daughter. Or how when a commercial with music comes on and our daughter pulls him off the couch to dance with her… he ALWAYS gets up even if he’s eating. He reads to them every night though he’s falling asleep between each sentence. He wakes up at 5am to go to work for 12 hours and battle crazy Houston traffic never once complaining or making mention on the fact of how im a at-home mom (tho thats a job too).  My husband frustrates me to no end!  Usually because everything he does tends to be wrong! Yes,  my husband is not perfect in no sense of the word; but he’s a good guy and a wonderful dad and for that im grateful 🌹

    AWWWW…the pictures at the end are so adorable. Nice touch, Rina. Dad’s do their part too, however small.. ’cause it sho is small, believe me. He supports you in his way, and you support him in your, makes for a beautiful family for all to gaze upon. It’s a lot of work behind the scenes, believe that! But when it’s time to show and prove, you both are there for each other and those beautiful babies! What up, Bryant! Rina, say ‘Word!’…all right now…💞

    Never had the pleasure of staying home with my little ones. Didn’t want to either!!!! One thing is good at the end of all this is, they grow up, and leave and you have the rest of your life with your husband by yourself. (its like dating all over again) I think I lived for this time of my life. And you will too!!! Even the most respondsible dad’s will find something that will get on your nerves about what they are not doing when it comes to the kids. Be happy, you got a good one in the long run!!!!

    I appreciate this post. I am one of those that want to drop the kids in my husbands lap some days and RUN out the door. But I do realize he is amazing with the kids. Even our one-year-old will throw a fit if he takes to long to pick her up and give her a few minutes of attention soon after he’s in the house. They adore their dad. And I adore my husband. I don’t give him nearly enough props cause he gets on my nerves a lot (LOL) but I know without him my days and nights would be way worse. And I appreciate him working hard so that I can stay home with the kids and raise them to be the amazing little people I want them to be.
    Thank you for your blogs. They make me smile, think, and appreciate things a little more every time I read one. 🙂
