Having had a great relationship with both parents growing up, I want the father of my kids to place them before anything, to come home from work and take them for a walk to the park or out the back for a game – even just to sit and watch TV with them. I want baby pictures in his wallet, for the weekends to be about going out on picnics or just anything so he can show of his kids to the world. Any free time should be spent teaching them to finger paint or taking to many photos. You may think I am being unrealistic but I am not. I have seen it done – I have experienced it. It was how my dad was with me and I want nothing less for my own kids. I don’t ever want them to be placed second to a stupid TV show, drinking with the boys or a computer game. There are times and places for everything but a mother is not the only parent – you make em together you raise em together.
So even if you meet someone who you fall so madly in love with, don’t screw it all up. Have patience and see where it all goes. Don’t rush off and get hitched, marriage is only a little bit about love. It’s about being able to function together, getting the bills paid and working towards goals together. Being a team. Being ok with waking up next to the same person every morning. It’s about finding someone reliable and trust worthy who you would do anything for and although you don’t expect the same in return, you just know they would do the same for you. It doesn’t seem that hard, but obviously somewhere along the line it must do hence why divorce lawyers are in such high demand. Thing is, is it really that hard or are people just to lazy these days?
Either way, I see a future with mark; I can see he holds the qualities I look for. Well potential anyways haha. Well off to lunch, just a quick thought.
