When I was about eight, my mom had a doctor’s appointment that required her to relinquish her kid duties to my dad one morning. This meant it was dad’s job to get us ready for school. A bad hair day for me, turned into a bad day all around for my poor dad, who did not know that my bangs were a hairspray-forbidden zone. Unfortunately for dad, he found this out, a couple spritzes too late, amidst screams of: “That’s not how mom does it!”

Sometimes, though, it’s not the kids screaming at dad about his approach, but it’s their moms who find it hard to relinquish control to their husbands. A mom can find herself expressing criticism about the way her man is handling his parenting tasks, even if his way is working just fine. Dudes do it differently - so if your son or daughter isn’t in danger,  just accept it.

Ladies, we can’t on the one hand, want men to take on more domestic tasks, and then bash him for how he does it! Give the guys a break and embrace the idea that there is more than one way to do things.

If it gives you a little more time to work out and take care of YOU, by letting him take over for awhile, then don’t look a gift horse in the mouth!
