We believe this is our dream, when we eat breakfast for lunch, dinner and breakfast together and then take care of the children in shifts.
“You are a great friend to the other in this particular situation. I doubt he’ll ever ask me, ‘What did you do with your children during the day What do you do with your kids all day?’. At times, I’d come home to work only for him be the husband who would stare in the bathroom and think”How can this be an unclean mess after she’s gone for the entire day? ‘.
“Now after he’s accomplished it, and he’s asking, ‘How did she remain sane? ?’.”
