Being a father, doesn't always ends in giving financial support to the family but knowing your responsibility of affection and thoughtfulness towards built family.
Hello guys, I'm new to this community. And I am happy to join here as I know I will learn from other users about parenting that I may apply to my family of how to be a good mom or a parent.
So today, I will be sharing to you about my husband and of how he cope up of the situation when he became a father as we build our own family. I am just fortunate for having him as my partner in life that's why my first post in this community is about him.
He is a teacher. In our country, a teacher in a public school have lots paperworks aside from teaching so it means he is always busy at his work. But you know what guys? I am so lucky because despite of him so busy at works he won't forget of helping me at home.
What are the things he do at home?
When he gets home from work or during weekends, he'll do this things:
Papa's Day care
He will be the one who'll takes care of our son during his free time. Since the day that our son was born, he's a hands-on father. He won't just let me do all the taking care of our little one. I am a CS mom and we were just the ones at home. My parents were not around in times that I needed them because they're far. Though they're willing to come but because of COVID-19, they're not able to come in our place. In short, my partner was the one who helped me taking care of our son even if he has a work. Glad also that my brother was with us that time. He will suggest me to go to sleep or relax as he will be the one to look for our son. He knows that I badly need some rest.
Doing household chores
As a stay at home mom with a super hyper active son, you will never able to finish all the household chores at home, right? Sometimes, we also felt lazy doing so because our body seems always tired or is just me? Since there were times that I couldn't finish all the household chores, he's the one who'll do it. He do the laundry especially those blankets, beddings and comforters because those were heavy. He helped me with the laundry wven if I don't asked him help. He will say that I'll look for our son and he'll do laundry. He also cooked coz honestly I don't know how to cook before and he's my teacher. Through him, I know how to cook food now and confident with it.
Days out with our little one
He always makes sure he'll date us. He likes to stroll our son around the plaza or anywhere where our son can explore. He said that he will do the things for his son that he didn't experienced when he was a child. And he always have food for us because I and my son loves food.
What can I say?
For me, as a woman and a mom, I prefer that my husband would help me with my children. Help me to mold the child into a good individual in the society. Because being a parent is not easy. We need someone to help us to go through.
Money is important of course but I am not dependent of him with financial. It's because I know how to find on my own even if I am a stay at home mom. I just want to be of help of him the reason that I won't touch his salary. The more important is that he will not forget to buy our family's needs. Though he wants to give his salary to me, I will just told him to have and budget it. You know, it's so hard to budget everything in the house especially that he also have his family/siblings that still needs him. It might be better if we both have the say and decision of what and where the money goes to be fair.
And as I can see of what he's doing, he's good in budgeting and a good provider in any ways.
I've had the changes after I gave birth. I admit, I have post partum depression and I really hate it. I didn't know where it came from but it's hard to deal with. I am just glad that I have my husband who help me to get through it.
He always lighten up my mind that we can make it both to be a good parents to our son. He's my crying shoulder everytime I don't understand myself.
What will I do if I don't have him? I always thanks God for giving me this person who's ready to be with me,to hold hand in hand with our situation. I know my son loves him so much because everytime he will go to school our son will run towards him and cling on his legs, the reason we always have a hard time for letting him go to work. And our son will always be excited seeing him coming from work. Everytime they're together, they always laugh and play.
Seeing them like that will always make my heart filled with love and I love them both.
I do hope we both as a parents can make our child grow to be a good person in the future. And we able to give his needs in life as he grow.
That's all my fellow hivers and parents. And have a nice day. Thank you for passing by on my post.
