“My husband is my BIGGEST advocate. Whether it comes to career aspirations; motherhood aspirations; or a combination of the two, he is my biggest champion. Not only that, but he is also a dedicated father himself. When he is home, he is HOME. He rarely brings home his work and is always present with our children. .

When quarantine life began, I wondered a lot of things. One of my ‘wonders’ was if my husband would have a new appreciation of my role as a ‘stay-home-mom.’ Now that we would be working from home and exposed to the daily life of a stay-at-home mom, would he see my role differently? Would he view life as a SAHM in a new way? Not that he hadn’t before, but you know what I mean. .

A few days ago, he admitted it. He said, ‘It’s been really good to see what you do all day, while I’m at work.’ He continued, ‘It’s amazing how demanding the kids can be throughout the day; and that you do this all day long.’ I smiled inside as I heard his acknowledgement. Not because I wanted him to sing my praises, (which is always nice), but more because as a stay-at-home mom, when you are constantly giving behind the scenes—oftentimes when no one is watching—it is nice to feel seen, understood and fully appreciated. ❤️” – @thesouthernishmama
