Behavior: Finding the ‘Hero’ in Husbands and Fathers

t’s easy to find the negative in this world because we’re conditioned by society to complain instead of taking responsibility. It takes a little bit of a step back and an attitude readjustment to find the positive.

Here are some things you may have overlooked in your husbands as fathers that you can now thank them for:

*Does your husband have a job with a steady pay check? Does he provide for your and your child? If so, take your head out of the sand and understand how many deadbeat dads abandon their financial responsibilities to their families.

* Does your husband stay faithful? If he does, you might want to stop taking that for granted, and thank him. There is a lot of infidelity and like your health, unless you’re negatively affected, you tend to forget how good you have it.

* Does your husband show up for holidays? By giving your child a sense of structure at holiday time, let alone dinner table time, your husband is contributing to a healthy home with consistent rituals that will mean so much to your child as he or she grows older and has his or her own children.

Don’t compare yourself to your husband and don’t compare your husband to your best friend’s husband. The idea is not to compete but to find the good int the world, and in your own home.
