And kudos to dad for getting that 1 1/2 days of schoolwork in. With the extra stuff you might even come out ahead. :] That’s very, very cool.

That in itself is not always easy. This has been a huge part of my growth process as a wife. It's been a hard for me to learn to be quiet about these things. To be a helpmeet instead of critical or unappreciative of all he does for us. My husband says the worse thing for a man to feel "incompetent". And yet, for several years, I would say something or do something without even realizing it that would send that message to my husband. Glad to hear that I'm not the only one on this journey! ...Shannon Jen, It’s good you were able to listen to your husband’s feedback. That in itself is not always easy.

My hubby confided in me this week that when I undermine his trying to do things with the kids, it's makes him feel useless and unworthy in our school. I was humbled by his words as I realize how often I do this instead of letting him do with the kids what he would like to do for school. I love what you said at the end. The schoolwork can be done anytime. Thanks for the reminder! Jen Shannon,
