My husband (as some of you may know) recently came back form Deployment, and it was one of the hardest we have had, even though he wasn't gone as long- because it seems like everything breaks. This time, more stuff broke than usual. Here are the things that broke--
On top of taking care of the house, the bills, the garden, the kids, the pets, myself, the yard .. school, everything alone....
Thank god, our health was good and my car didn't break down!
So it definitely Could've been worse.
Which is why I know sometimes when he's not around I have to be strong for him and for our 2 daughters. I have to know when to act soft or strong in my life and with my family. Now that he is home again, it's time to go back to being softer more feminine.
When do you think it is appropriate to be soft or strong with your family and loved ones? I think it's appropriate to be both at all times. Women today have more responsibility and demands than women of older eras. Women are expected to be work just as hard- if not harder than our male counterparts.
I feel like I am supposed to be able to do some of these things; but I don't know how to fix a dryer, and it seems silly to pay a repairman, when he will be home in a few weeks to fix it..
You know what I mean?
I am sure he has a rough time when he's gone being separated from the children, but it's never a cakewalk here either. I know they work him so hard, but I can't get away from the kids much, and therefore I get stressed out.
Charmin also knows how to be soft & strong..
As Charmin launches a campaign of its own this election year by asking fans across the country to vote for your favorite Charmin: Ultra Soft or Ultra Strong.
