My youngest daughter drew a picture of me and my husband. We're standing hand in hand, and between our heads there's a floating balloon. I was pleasantly surprised. Obviously, we make quite a loving, and harmonious couple!
But then she said: 'That was before you had us, mummy!'
I like old fashioned courtsey in a man. I love it when they open a door for me, or lift their hat to greet me. A woman likes to feel appreciated and treasured. But if that's too much to ask, and something tells me it is, then I would like at least a man who...
I'm very low maintenance, you know!' I like to tell my husband. 'I don't desire expensive holidays or expensive clothes. Just give me a Big Mac or two, or three, or maybe four, and I'm a happy woman.' You're very lucky with me as your wife And to make sure he gets my drift, I...
To fan the smoldering embers of our relationship, my husband and I like to pretend we're going to the movies. Of course we don't really go, because that would mean hiring a babysitter, but every Saturday night we stretch out on the couch armed with big bags of chips. Watching Paranormal Activity with my husband...
It was early morning. I was in the shower enjoying some quiet time. Feeling the warm water cascading down my body, cherishing the feeling of being alone. No one else around. Then suddenly I heard that telltale sound of a door opening, followed by an icy cold swish of air. Then: 'Hiiiiiii honey. Are you...

The first time my mother threw this advice at me I was a bit shocked. Mostly because it concerned Sex,...
When we left the city to move to the country my husband and I couldn't agree on lots of things. One of them was what kind of lamps we should get. I wanted a beautiful chandelier I wanted beautiful chandeliers. My husband didn't know what he wanted. But one thing he did know: no chandeliers....
Awww, sounds like a lovely photo. Don't be saddened by her comment, martial relationships change as children come along. The love is strong, dutiful and romantic but not as young love. I believe children know can see love and know it, in all its forms :0)
I agree that relationships change but it still can be strong and romantic if we work at it.
At least the two of you are still the topics of her artwork. Not only that, but when she thinks of you, the fist image which comes to mind is a pleasant one. Whenever my wife and I go out for an evening (ummm...right in 2009), we are very straightforward about telling the kids we need some time not being parents. A popcorn and a movie seems to cure them of heartsickness pretty quickly:)
Thanks Kenny. That's a lovely way of looking at it.
Kids are so funny! Wonder what her picture would like if she drew you now? Hehehe
That sounds ominous Becky Jane. Now you've got me worried!
