When my son was born, the nurse said the words that I would remember all of my motherhood life.
‘Mommy’s and Daddy’s do things differently.... And that’s okay.’
Truer words were never spoken.
Son: I don’t want to go to school anymore. A kid in school keeps pushing and hitting me”
Mom: Did you tell him to stop?
Dad: Did you punch him in the face?
Mom: You have to speak up for yourself
Dad: You have to punch him in the face.
Mom: Did you tell the teacher?
Dad: Did you punch him in the face?
Mom: I’ll go in tomorrow with you and talk to the principal
Dad: I’ll go punch his father in the face.
Wife: You can’t teach him to go around punching kids in the face.
Husband: So you want him to get punched in the face? All he has to do is punch a kid once and nobody will ever bother him again.
I know that sometimes a dad’s voice is needed and sometime’s a mom’s...and sometimes an analyst's. But the question is not who’s voice can be the loudest but which is the right one at the time?
Who’s voice do you or your child hear?
You all do hear the voices don't you...?
