Hello Bloggers! This is the wife of the BlueCollarParent, and because today is Valentine’s Day, I’ve decided to do something that will drive my husband CRAZY! Tell you about him (or at least how I see him). I’ve known the BlueCollarParent since before he was a parent! When I met him, he was a young fireball that had the whole world figured out. I’ve watched as he has learned that he doesn’t have all the answers. His desire to be a great dad and husband has come in part from his awareness that he has things to learn.
A professor once told me, “When you stop learning, you die.” At the time I thought he was trying to tell us if we quit studying, we’d croak. With age I realize that he meant until we die, we are learning. One of the greatest qualities I see in my husband of 14 years is that he is not afraid to acknowledge when he is wrong and to learn to do it better. He hasn’t made being his wife an easy thing, but I must say it is getting easier every day. Just because we are learning together how to make our family better.
The First principle of the BlueCollarParent is to show your children love and affection everyday. Today is an EXCELLENT day to let your children know you love them. (And to let your husband know that you love him and Thank God for the gift of his love!)
Cease Fire?
