Re: Are you a better wife (or SO) or mother?
Posted by ruby
Honestly, since DS was born he was pretty high maintenance (a host of GI issues and various surgeries) for the first year. Then I got pg again when he was about 16 months or so. So I would say I've been a pretty crappy wife (in my eyes) because I've either been more focused on DS and his issues or being miserably pregnant again. Luckily I have a very understanding DH.
This is pretty much the same with me. I was on bed rest for most of my pregnancy, so no  . DS was and still is a very needy child. Got pregnant when he was just shy of 1 yr old, and had a bunch of pregnancy issues. Now being a mom to 2 under 2, I'm exhausted. So is definitely the last thing on my mind. Poor DH...but he is very understanding.

Mother....without a doubt.
Before the twins were born I was getting close to that good balance between great mom and wife. Now I need to figure it out again, b/c lately I am a pretty crappy wife!!!  Luckily DH gets that it is not forever.....

Re: Are you a better wife (or SO) or mother?
Definitely a better mom, especially now that I'm pregnant with twins and totally exhausted all the time. I would imagine I won't be able to focus on the wife stuff for quite awhile.  I do try to support him -- listen to him vent about work when I have a million other things to do, sit & watch TV with him for a little hile when I really just want to go to sleep. I know he appreciates that, even though it's just small stuff. Hopefully we'll manage a date night soon.

Re: Are you a better wife (or SO) or mother?
Mother. I hate cooking and have been behind with cleaning since #2 came. And I can't stomach hearing about sports or weather much, so I cut him off
But our relationship works like that.

Re: Are you a better wife (or SO) or mother?
I'm probably a crappy wife for DH. I'm a SAHM so I'm with DS all day. He can be very trying at times so by the time DH gets home my patience is gone! I snap alot at him.

Re: Are you a better wife (or SO) or mother?
I am at a loss. I don't want to pick both, I feel like really I am better at one more then the other and choosing both seems boring...
As a mother, I feel very confident in the job i am doing.
As a wife, I feel like I go above and beyond.
He would say mother. He says it is okay till they are 5, then the focus is back on wife.
I am torn.

Re: Are you a better wife (or SO) or mother?
I'm a much better mother than wife. Lots of my wifely duties take the backseat lately. I really need to work on that in 2011 I guess I'll have to cook dinner tomorrow!

Re: Are you a better wife (or SO) or mother?
I'm an amazing mother and I'm a really good wife too but sometimes my DH doesn't always get the attention he needs because I am taking care of our DD. All and all though, I think I'm doing very well at both roles!!

Re: Are you a better wife (or SO) or mother?
i dont know how to answer this ahhh... I always question if i am too selfish when I leave my family to sing with opera companies for long periods of time. I guess its just my own insecurities.

Re: Are you a better wife (or SO) or mother?
I think I am a very good wife but I have to say that I am a better mother. My son comes before anyone and I go above and beyond for him in every way.
