He's not your kid. He's your partner.

Hey mama. They hear how you talk to him... 😳
—
He’s not your kid, he’s your partner.
—
Your true love and the reason you’re leading this crazy, overwhelming and overflowing life.
—
It happened to me TWICE last week.
—
“Mom - stop yelling at Dad.”
“Mom - what you said to Daddy was pretty rude.”
—
WAKE UP CALL. 😳
—
They not only know what I say, but they know the tone in my voice and how words can come across/hurt.
—
Talk about a reality check.
—
One that’s hard for me to swallow because this is an area of struggle for me.
—
I know how much I always need to work on communication and where I let the energy of my emotions flow.
—
Dave and I try - but we aren’t always great at sharing where we’re at or communicating our needs. We get BURIED by life and don’t do it.
—
I’ll be honest in saying - it’s the worst on the weekends. When I finally have more help all day - I fall into the assumption that he knows what to do with the kids/how to fill the gaps in the chaos without my saying anything.
—
But that’s not fair. Or true.
—
That’s like me walking into his full-time job and just knowing exactly where to pick up and help out...
—
So - when I get upset because he forgets the diaper bag and then huff and puff with my words when we have to turn the car around...is that legit? Not at all.
—
Communication is massive in a relationship. Even down to the smallest things. It ALL matters.
—
And really - it’s even more important to get aware of HOW you’re using words with your partner - especially in front of your kids. After all, we have to set the example - in SO many ways.
—
I’m making it a goal this week to be better for my partner. More constructive energy, productive words and a nicer tone when I communicate.
—
He’s my number one. And he deserves to be treated that way.

Send me a message anytime at (tripleewellness@gmail.com). I’d love to hear - is this something you’d like to work on in your relationship too?!
