I run an in-home daycare, as most of you know. It’s tough sometimes. It’s long hours and pretty much constant work. The one thing that is a constant help and relief, is my husband. He is home with me daily and does a great deal of work to help out and keep things running smoothly.
He’s patient, kind and doesn’t think twice about changing a diaper, wiping a nose or taking the kids outside so that I can clean-up or just have some time to myself. I do miss having Brian home in the evenings for dinner, bath and bedtimes with the kids, but we get to have him home all day.
Yes, there are days that they only way we get to have an “adult” conversation is by text message or after 10pm at night…but isn’t that a lot families these days? Is it hard sometimes? Yes. Is it worth it. YES – I believe so. I believe it’s where we are supposed to be right now and what’s best for our family and our children. I’m very thankful that our life situation allows him to be home during the day with us.
Tell me, do you and your husband share responsibilities around the house and with the kids? How do you carve out alone time?

Yes, we do share the responsibilities, when he is home! And a lot of time he takes on more while he is home to give me a break. It ends up being a nice little trade off!

It does definitely make the day go smoother!
I am very lucky. My hubby & I have been married 36 years and he has always been supportive, caring, loving and a big help! Even tho we don’t have kids at home anymore & we both are home 24/7 because we both ended up with physical disabilities that stopped us from working, he doesn’t think twice about scooping up a load of laundry & doing it, or washing up his dishes if he made himself a snack. He is also the more romantic one. And both our sons learned a lot from watching him, as they too are real partners with their wives. Yes, I am lucky

I hope that when I am married 36 years my husband is as supportive as he is now. I have a good feeling he will be!
Brian is a saint…but does he wash window’s? LOL!!
Really, we feel luck to have Brian in our family.
Love,
Dad
He really is! I am very blessed to have him!
