Thanks DH, not even sarcastic-shocked huh?
I was trying to put myself in his place to help GC, and I realized-how difficult it has to be to be him.
I know our end isn't easy by any means but I think I appreciate how complicated he has to feel- I worry about keeping my kids safe and happy, dinners, lunches calendars that stuff.....
DH has to worry about trying to balance his work demands with family demands, keeping me and the kids all happy not to mention spending time with his other family which is hard for him because he has so much on his plate.
I am a stay at home mom- not an easy job with kids ranging from 15-9months- kinda crazy sometimes- okay alot- and theres no dull moments but I sometimes forget DHs sacrifices so I can be pulling my hair out on the inside while SD 15 wants a ride or brings home the permission slip the day before a two day trip, and BS10 is almost late to soccer ,and BS9mo. is cranky cause it's nap time. DH has to deal with alot of it too, and then manage his time and shift his sleep schedule(3rd shift) to help run them at times, or go to concerts, games, events- then has to deal with BMs total lunacy and try not to get railroaded but also try not to make things hard for SD or make me upset.
I really do feel I have always appreciated him and do tell him often but lately I have gotten so busy I've been forgetting his end isn't always easy either- and he doesn't even have you girls!!!
Thanks for taking the time to read this thought

We all forget
sometimes to appreciate the ones we love. I found myself last night having the same feelings about my husband while trying to figure out what to write. I tend to get self centered and feel like I am carrying the weight of this life on my shoulders. I start feeling like he could make it without me and that I take care of all his problems. I forget to realize that he is the one I can fall to pieces with, that lifts me back up and even though he does not show his emotions on his sleeve like I do, he suffers the same pains that I do and it kills him inside to see me hurt or struggle.
Glad my post brought up feelings like this. Thanks for putting so much heart into it.

OK, Haven't told ya all this..
One night my hubby and I were having one of those "important" talks, you know, where I hate everything right now and you (hubby) better make all well with the world. Anyway, this was something he said to me and after 16 years of marriage, it was all i needed to hear....
he said "You are the one person in this whole world who can make me feel so good, you build me up higher than the clouds, and because of this you are the only one who can cut me to the bone and break me down. NoOne else in this world can do that to me, it's because I love you with all my heart and soul."
I try to keep this in mind before I blow up on him, for no true fault of his own. But you know, I know I'm safe with him blowing up. I can't imagine my life without him, ya know.

Thank you Disney for portraying a positive image on all stepmothers!!!!
Had that conversation too
Those words are so similar to the ones exchanged in mine and DH's conversations. It if weird to know that I have that much affect on another human being. But he can do the same to me. I guess finding out that a "man" can actually be hurt by a woman is humbling.
