Helping each other.

 One of me and my husbands favorite things to do is go for drives and chat along the way, sometimes the chats are small talk and some times they are heart to heart but none the less we love to talk to one another. The other day he brought something up to me he said he feels like when he is home on his days off I make him feel like he has to do everything with our son since I do it 24/7. He said "I don't think you mean to do it but I think it just happens from being tired and wanting a break." I immediately got defensive because there is this part of me that for some reason feels attacked very easily but I chose to keep my mouth shut and continued to listen to him. He said to me "your 8 hour job is your shift and my 8 hour job is my shift and when were together as a family we should help each other, don't think of it like you've already been with our son all day or week." And he's right without even knowing I do that I really do! When his days off come the first thing I think and sometimes say is "daddy will get it for you". I am so fortunate that my full time career is my son and sometimes in the daily stress of tantrums and spitting out food I forget how great I have it.
