Dad's Surprising Response to Finding Out His Wife Thinks He "Hates" Cosleeping
Some families love cosleeping, but there are a fair amount of people who can't get behind having tiny limbs kicking and elbowing them in the face, giving them little room on the bed and driving them further into a state of sleep deprivation. However, when one dad heard his wife's friend ask her over the phone, "Doesn't your husband hate [cosleeping]? My husband would never let me do that," he had an unexpected reaction that went beyond the subject of cosleeping.
"This blew my mind and has bothered me for days," David Brinkley wrote in a post shared to the Love What Matters Facebook page. "So I just decided to come out as a man and set a few things straight. I do NOT hate any part of what makes my wife the mother that she is. I would NEVER degrade or disregard anything that she feels like doing for my children. Do I have to squeeze into a small corner of the bed sometimes? Yeah? But my god, how beautiful does she look holding my children? Making them feel loved and safe?"
The dad continues, speaking to other fathers candidly about respecting their wives as the mothers of their children, who grow up all too quickly.
The thing is that our wives only experience these little seasons in motherhood for a short time. They carry our babies, they birth them, they nurture them and maybe while they are little they let them crawl into our beds and snuggle. But eventually our babies get bigger they grow up they get "too cool" for snuggles so why would we as men want to steal a single second of this time from them?
Being mothers is part of their identity and what's a year or three out of decades of life spent together? I just want to say that I am proud of the decisions my wife makes as a mom and I support every single one of them. I would never want to rob her of this time she has or these seasons that are in reality too short to not enjoy. Please respect your wives as mothers.
