I have washed the dishes two nights in a row!
Well, I washed them all of last week!
I bathe the baby every night!
Well, I did it the other day!
I do all of the cooking and shopping and budgeting...
Well, I go to work every day.
Why does a marriage become a competition?
It seems that every day is full of the 'one-up' race. I did this but you did that better. Or, you did this but I did that more.
And then it goes to the place of fighting over who is more committed to the relationship.... and that is where things get tough.
I try every day to keep you happy.
Well, I try harder to make you happy and you never even notice.
I try to be the perfect spouse.
Well, I can't tell that you're trying.
Who really wins?

Marriage is, and should be a two way street...not one way. Whether it's taking care of the baby/kids, cooking, shopping, budgeting, etc., both sides need to take turns. Nowadays, both parents are working to make a living, so the tasks, whatever they may be, should be shared. A stay at home mom, or dad, is a full-time job in itself, and can be very trying at times. Some even say a stay at home parent, if they were to be paid, would actually make a good chunk of change!!!!
