This episode is encouragement for women regarding how to DEAL when you are feeling let down, frustrated, exhausted and sad for yourself and your kids because your husband just isn’t the father you wish he would be.
In episode 49, I spoke with Clint Edwards about this topic and I just wanted to talk about it some more. It’s a deep one that many women have struggled with, including myself. I thought it was great to hear a man’s perspective on parenting from a place of not knowing, but here, I have given some tools to help improve the situation.
In this episode, you’ll learn why you need to embrace the communication style of your husband, the importance of getting rid of the expectation that your husband needs to bond with your children in a specific way, how your relationship with your father might be impacting your feelings towards your husband as a father, the importance of praising your husband for actions similar to the ones you want him to take, why you need to be aware of not squeezing your husband out of the parenting; especially at the beginning of your child’s life, and more!

Real Talk
In this Real Talk segment, I answer a listener’s question about her blended family. The listener is struggling to handle her step-son being able allowed to do things in her home that her younger, biological son isn’t able to. She wants to avoid resentment or jealousy among the siblings and find a way for her family to thrive. In my response, I explain why this issue doesn’t have anything to do with the family unit being blended and provide some tips on how to navigate this tricky situation.
