All I really want is a fathers appreciation thread and to tell women and men to take time for yourself days aren’t always good but they aren’t always bad either appreciate every moment with your kids. A lot of my depression comes from seeing how kids are being treated and how they aren’t allowed to just be kids. Today my husband came home from work earlier than usual and I have been a sahm for going on 2 years next month my little buttercup will be two. Anyways today I was having a bit of a rough day and my husband didn’t know that and I could tell he was having a busy day at work as well because he was hardly texting me and he missed our lunchtime FaceTime call with our daughter. So let me just start from the beginning everyday when my husband is getting ready to leave for work he texts me to let me know he made it to work and to tell me and our lil girl to have a great and he loves us. Awe I know how sweet and it really does affect my day because when he doesn’t let me know he made it to work or say anything to me before he leaves for work I get nervous for numerous reasons I have bad anxiety and depression. But that comes with first time motherhood and from my husband being a black man in today’s society. Anyways now back to my day my daughter woke up before me so I knew I was doomed today from the start because when I don’t wake up before her and have a little time to myself I tend to fight for this time during nap time and I have to choose between watching a show or taking a nap because by this time I’m worn out. So today my husband coming home early was everything to me my daughter was so happy to see her dad as was I. I gave him time to get settled hug and kiss his daughter and I and I went to meditate take time to myself and just breath after 15mins I came back in the house to cook dinner listen to music and drink wine. All this to say ladies appreciate your husband because I don’t know what I would do without mines. When a man provides for you to be able and stay home with your family and take care of your house never take it for granted. My husband my family my support system my backbone my daughter is everything to me.
