Ok Mom's....let me put this out there...we are NOT equal to our husbands! Stay with me on this post. This is a topic of much discussion out there with gender equality and how women can do what men can and visa versa. It's BULLSHIT!
Women who obsess over the ability to do what a man does need to chill the fuck out. We can't. We can do whatever we put our minds to but that doesn't mean we can do everything! And just the same, men cannot do everything a woman does...IT IS PHYSICALLY, GENETICALLY, EMOTIONALLY AND LOGICALLY IMPOSSIBLE!
So why is there this constant competition among husbands and wives about who contributes what to a household? We all have our roles in the home, workplace, friendships and life in general and understanding our roles is what will lead to a balanced home. Shit, if I was born 30 years earlier I would have loved to live the life of June Cleaver! The world today tells us that this is an insignificant role and that women need to be power players, successful business leaders, high income earners PLUS run the household. Well that is nuts and stressful as fuck! WHY? Why can we not be satisfied with who we are and what we bring to the table? Being a Mom is HARD as Fuck!
In my home I know that my husband is not going to be doing the laundry or washing the dishes and just the same he knows that I will not be making enough money to support our family. And we are HAPPY with that. He is the Provider and I am the Everything Else! We are both strong personalities that have our opinions, likes, dislikes and interests. We support each other and our family with all that we are. We are not competing with one another on how many times I washed the floor this week VS. how many bills he paid because that is BATSHIT CRAZY! I do my shit to keep everyone and everything running smooth and he does his role. It is a balanced relationship and we love it. I am the keeper of schedules, maker of memories and planner of parties. He is the payer of bills, gatherer of food and protector of our nest. Together we are the kissers of boo-boos, huggers of mini-monsters, and teachers of life lessons. Together we CAN DO IT ALL, separate we are incomplete. I appreciate him and he appreciates me. We are not equal because we have different skills, different abilities and different minds. But when we come together with our talents we are fierce.
I wish more relationships could grasp this concept. I think men and women, husbands and wives alike would be much happier. Happier in their marriages and happier with their own selves. So STOP comparing your self worth to that of others....other women, your husband, your co-workers and know that YOU ARE FIERCE! You are a MOM!
Slay that Shit!
