12/13 Moms' Biggest Mistakes

Quote From: valleb

Doesn't shower, can't remember last time went on a date with hubby?  Don't these women have a clue?  When their husbands cheat on them with someone from the office, etc (who does take care of herself), will these mom's also be as clueless as to why?  I have seen sooo many women take care of themselves right up until the kids come, then it's mommy jeans or sweats, no showers, no hubby time, no time for sex, etc.  Part of being a good mom is being a good wife and taking care of your marriage!   I guarantee, if you aren't sleeping with your husband someone else is!  It takes 10 minutes to shower, apply a little makeup and get dressed!  Too tired for sex??  It is worth it to hire a babysitter for a few hours to take a nap, get ready and go out with your hubby.   This is much, much cheaper than becoming a single mom!!

Taking care of oneself is important...but the way a wife looks isn't the reason a husband cheats.  Look at Halle Berry, Sienna Miller, Vanessa Williams, Heather Locklear, Princess Diana, etc.  These are some of the most beautiful women of our time...all married (or engaged) to notorious cheaters. A man who really loves a woman will still love her regardless of her outward appearance and will be faithful to her if he has integrity. For some reason that's a word that's not used much anymore...I hope it's not a dying concept! 

  

Still, I agree that partners who stop paying attention to the marriage need to get back on course, as the greatest gift they can give their kids is a happy and stable home.

No 

  

Men cheat because A) They can B) Because they're selfish or have impulse control problems and C) Because there are women willing to put up with their lack of integrity. The reasons they give are excuses for their own poor behavior: an attempt to place the blame on someone other than themselves. Why would anyone want to stay with a LOSER that behaves like this? 

  

That doesn't excuse wives from taking care of themselves while taking care of kids, it just requires some adaptations to established routines. It is easy to fall into lazy patterns when you're getting very little sleep but wives have to make a conscious effort to make sure they're taking care of themselves as well as others
