So who has ever had a significant other, they are working, your at home knowing they wont be home for about 2 hours or 7 -10 hours... Now what do you do with your time? Do you think constantly about your mate? Do you miss him/her? Are you bored? Is it your day off but they are at work? If you have a family say two kids, one is 3 years old, the other 3 months old... NOW it gets a little more complex, feelings, mentally, physically, how do you handle the time without him/her? We all know that kids are no easy task. ESPECIALLY "Terrible 3's"! Anyone who has her of the term or title, it exists and it is very real.
In case you havent figured it out, I am a father of two beautiful princesses and a wonderful, beautiful wife and friend. We both work, I am full time she has committed to being more of a stay at home mom minus her part time work. My wife is a freaking trooper! She is a Rockstar! She is my hero because she is Independent and she can handle her own. I am a bit of a prankster, I joke a lot, maybe a little to much especially with her. Matter of fact, you can check out my YouTube channel ic270498 and see some of my scarecams involving me and my wife. At times I acknowledge I do take it to far, she makes it apparent to me as well when I am really REALLY pressing her buttons, and to get her point across she will pinch me or punch me in the arm. When we are both off on the same days, we get to hang out as a family, we drive around, we go swimming if its nice, we watch movies or tv all day, we nap and so forth. When me and my wife are apart, its tough, but we deal with it to provide like all parents do. I have noticed that on my days off, and she is working, I dont know what to do with myself. Time is so slow, I enjoy every minute of the quality time with my daughters, however, I get really lonely. I am in no way not appreciative of the time i get to hang with my girls, its just a total bummer when I know I am missing the center piece of the puzzle. Thats just for one whole day! 7-10 hours go by and she comes home and its like I havent seen her in a week or even a few days.
Now I take steps backwards and look at how my job is full time and knowing that my wife has committed to working less hours, down to part time in order to watch our girls, hold the home down, save on child daycare, that takes enormous guts, courage, heart, faith, love, determination, commitment, and above all STRENGTH!
If I am feeling the way I feel for one day, I put myself in her shoes and wonder how she manages. And get this; she even lets me walk our dog when I am home off work, or go to gym to work out, and she still holds it down at home. She is an excellent cook, so she also has dinner ready to eat, she gives our girls baths a lot of the time, and also gets them ready for the most part come morning time. My wife gives up more than I will ever know, and gives me more than I can ever appreciate and sometimes I feel as if I cannot stand at her level of hustle and grinding! She is truly a superMOM and for that I will continue to learn from her(even though I always try and disagree), I will continue to dazzle her for as long as we both shall live, and I will never take for granted the woman I have which is her and the two beautiful princesses she helped me create.
Now I know I am coming off as my wife is the best out there, but more less in my eyes she is all that and then some TO ME.
Guys, Fellas, Husbands-
We work hard, we are macho, we are smart beings, we are ALPHA - Yet we are nothing with out that special someone, that spark to the gasoline, that special person who you think about 24/7, the one that got away and made it back to you or maybe even you back to him/her, we dont survive without the other half, or the bigger portion, bigger piece. Living in the moment is what we know what we also dont want to take for granted because living in the past or to far into future we miss out on some great things. Sometimes we have our bro shades on for to long and we cant see what is in front of us for that moment when we can have it all. We sometimes reach to far, have standards set to high and ignore the fact that nothing is always what it seems to be and that one flaw might be the missing thing in your life that you wish you had.
Im going to close with my final thoughts:
Appreciate what you have, appreciate your mate or your significant other whatever you want to call it, and keep the spark alive, acknowledge you not only appreciate what they do but truly give them their props and respect because it is always due! Never take for granted that your time is far more valuable than hers/his. Never think that she/he cant be replaced.
Recognize and Appreciate
