Shared Parenting Brings Good Results
The Princess Bench Seat w/ Storage is one of the favorite places my daughter shares with her dad. When he is not busy, they would sit here and play or read her favorite books. My husband gets to share so little of these moments because he has to be away a lot for work. But when he is around, sometimes I have to force them apart from the kids and do other things around the house (like fix a bulb and things like that).
It really is a blessing to have an involved father like my husband. Some couples rely on parenting soley on the mother and there are those that refuses to even let the fathers participate and only see them as provider.
Tradition though dictates that the role of the mother is to nurture and the father to provide. However, these days, the lines between gender roles and differentiation is now blurry and vague. I relish the days when my husband volunteers to take the kids out so I can at least have a time to rest or do stuff I need for myself (like go to the salon) and ideally. I think that is ultimately the result of good shared parenting — where you let the other partner also grow into himself or herself as a person.
When I get these breaks, though they are not as often, I do feel recharged and ready to face the challenges of pareting with open arms.
