Laura is out of town this weekend and it made me think, is it easier with one parent? Don’t get me wrong, I don’t want it to be just me. I love Laura and I love what we are building together, I just find it so interesting that when it is either her or me taking care of the boys it’s so simple. Sure there are tough times when I clash with them, but getting to the other side seems to happen so much faster.

From my point of view it’s easy with just one of us. There is no one to contradict what I say to the boys. We can work on my level, which may be lower than the boys, but it is my level.

There are difficult things in marriage, the main one being money but how to handle children is difficult as well. Laura does a great job and most of the time I love watching her do a wonderful job. She can really connect with them, but there are times when what she does frustrates me. Who else feels this way about their spouse? If you are a woman reading this, please ask your husband about it, I would be very interested in seeing their response.
