"They reflect truley typical attitudes of a preponderance of women in today's America. Since Gloria Steinem wrote that "women need men like fish need bicycles," more than a generation of women have foolishly bought that destructve nonsense and have denigrated men, marriage, familial obligation, and motherhood - all to their own detriment. Normal, healthy women yearn to be in love, married, and raising children with the man of their dreams. However, when their own mothers, much less society, tell them they dont need men to be happy, or to raise children, and that their own children don't even need a mother raising them (day care will do), it's cause many women to lose the incentive and the ability to treat their personal live with the love, dedication, sacrifice, compassion, and loyalty that will ultimately bring them happiness and a sense of purpose."
I know that it is sometimes hard for my friends to understand why I decided to put aside all of my dreams while my husband takes the wheel. Sometimes its hard for me to understand myself, but it all goes back to a radio show that I heard over the summer of 2010, before we were really struggling. It talked about how we have forgotten that if you belittle someone enough they forget that they are more than you tell them. So, we should build our husbands up... changing our mind set... If we are just thankful for the things that our husbands ARE doing... not always focusing on the things that are bad.
So, I am going to focus on making my husband a priority in my life... putting his needs first, even above my children, within reason... because you cant have happy kids, in a house where the husband and wife are not happy.
