The beginning of this story is almost familiar to all family couples. The husband returned from work tired and went to watch TV. Meanwhile, the wife was putting the children to bed, but they were so fussy and didn`t want to fall asleep.
To avoid hearing the children`s crying, the husband demonstratively turned up the TV volume. This offended the wife, and she expressed reproaches to the husband.
Word by word, a quarrel broke out between the spouses. The wife condemned the husband for not helping her cope with the children. He blamed the wife for doing nothing all day, while he sits at work all day.
In the end, the wife couldn`t stand it and ran to her parents with tears in her eyes. Two days later, she received a letter from her husband.
“My dear!
I apologize for my behavior. When you left, I had time to properly think about this situation.
I barely put the children to bed. But when you didn`t return in the morning, I had to take a day off and stay home. I worked around the house all day, didn`t get a single free minute.
I independently cooked food, dressed the children, played with them, and cleaned the house. Sometimes I had to do everything at once.
During this day, I was trapped in my own home, unable to talk to anyone older than 10 years. I realized what you sacrifice, giving up your entertainments to care for the child.
The next day everything repeated. I lived without you for two days and one night. During all this time, I reflected and understood the main thing.
It finally dawned on me how tired you get during the day! I realized that being a mom means constantly sacrificing something!
It`s much harder than sitting in an office for 10 hours.
I realized that being a mother is one of the most responsible jobs in the world! But unfortunately, no one appreciates or praises this work.
I wrote you this letter not only to apologize and say that I miss you. I want you to hear from me every day that you are smart. You are the bravest woman, the well-being of the whole family rests on your shoulders.
I admire you!”
