As a couple we have been married for almost three years now. Both of us have tried to “be on the same page “on most of the issues. But I guess its difficult agreeing on everything 24/ 7. We are two different individuals with diverse perspectives. There are certain issues about baby on which our opinions are totally different. Luckily, both of us don’t differ on huge issues. I am not sure at four months what those huge issues would be…
Then something happened..I realized we are not the same page…
Yesterday from the kitchen, I could hear my baby whining while my husband was attending a phone call. The moments slowly ticked by while the whining escalated into a light wail. When I could not control myself I just rushed and picked up my whining little guy. I asked my husband “Why weren’t you picking him up “. His response was that “Because he was absolutely fine”
And here’s where we differ…
Yes technically he was fine. My husband has not left our baby falling down from the bed but seriously there’s only so much whimpering a mom can tolerate.
In the last four months he has been an extremely good hands-on father. He has done it all…. from giving baby a bath, to changing diapers, singing lullabies, attending to him at night and accompanying him to the pediatrician for immunization
I think it’s perfectly fine not to be on the same page as long as both of us can regular discussion with each other. Communication is the key here. I would like to believe we are being on the same chapter, because being on the same page on every issue is not an easy thing. I am sure everyone is going to agree with me that good parents need not be always on the same page.
So here’s to our differences dear hubby..
