My mother actually went through the same thing except she ended up playing both roles for us(the mother and father part) because my parents did end up separting in the end. but although you seem as if your not the fun parent right now. Your kids will always need you.. and love you for the mother that you are to them.Boys naturally have a natural bond with their father its just human nature, but boys will always love their mother. So think of it as not loosing them..because as long as they know your there you'll never be forgotten and just let your husband handle things..and maybe take a little time out for yourself..you know all mothers deserve it. :)<br /><br />[[Perry]]Perryhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09923510503815952122noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2571590790949407117.post-7367588430651265002009-09-21T18:51:42.945-05:002009-09-21T18:51:42.945-05:00All my boys adore their father.
