Daddy does better
R and I have been parents for the past 11 years. It has been a challenging experience for both of us dealing with our three kids.
His approach with the kids has been different from mine as he spends lesser time with them due to the nature of his job. He doesn’t have time to deal with the nitty gritty daily issues that I face with them.
Most of the time he handles the more serious matters and works on individual bonding moments that he has with them when he is in town.
He get a daily update on what we do through e-mails, facebook and Whatsapp.
If there are any pressing matters at home regarding the kids he will talk to them directly through Face time or even LINE.
I can say he is more patient with them as compared to me and definitely more willing to do outdoor activities with them . ( I rather keep out of the sun if possible.)
He is also better at counseling the boys as I guess that being of the same gender he understands their way of thinking better. Being a qualified Hypnotist he is able to engage with them on a subconscious level and how their mind works.
He is certainly a hands on dad and willing to help around with everything in the house from cooking to cleaning.
R can iron much faster and better then me. (That’s why I leave all the ironing to the men as all of them, including Doggie boy my 7 yr old, knows how to iron.)
We are learning a lot from each other on a daily basis and it’s clear that for certain stuff Daddy certainly does better then me.
What are the things that your husband does better then you?

Your husband sounds a lot like mine. My husband has waaayyyyyyy more patience than I do, but I am with my kids all day long. By the time I see my husband, my patience has long been gone.

That’s great that your husband is so involved, even when he’s out of town. That’s so important for the kids. And I’m really impressed about the ironing 😀

You are lucky to have a husband that give you a hand when it comes to household chores. I would say my husband is good in accounting and manage our expenses and of course making money his very hardworking, but other than that its me does all the work.

Wow, it sounds like he does an amazing job for as much as he’s gone. I’m sure it’s hard for him to be away so much.

Just like Mommy Maye said, I do love working in the kitchen. But there are also things that she does better than I. Like how she manage Matt when he was having tantrums. I have a lesser patient compared to her.

I am in a 30 year marriage with a man who has split parental duties with me 50/50! We have a wonderful relationship and it is very different from the days of our parents. My mother raised the children, my father worked long hours in a steel mill. Times are changing and men are more involved with their children then in my parents day. A nicely written post. Thank you for sharing. Happy Father’s Day to your hubby and all the wonderufl dads out there!

My husband is also very hands-on. One thing he definitely does better than me is play. We have a son, so he really gets those boys’ toys much better than I do. 🙂

Aww, this is a sweet post. I know that my husband plays differently than I play with my kids. Dad is the fun one and I am more serious. 😉
