That martyrdom gig? That's a hard pass from me.
I bet you know a woman like this. You know the one—she insists on doing everything herself, mostly so she can say she does everything herself. She accepts no help, for fear that she’ll lose her “I do everything for everyone at the expense of my own mental and physical health” crown. She’ll never ask her husband to help with the baby during the night.
But here’s the biggest problem with martyrdom—our girls are watching. I was watching. I grew up thinking this was whatThankfully, a fortunate gust of wind caused my bullshit flag to smack me in the face at some point, so I saw this life for what it was—thankless, tiresome, and empty. Not what I wanted for me, and certainly not what I wanted for my daughters.
Fuck that. Michaela knows how to ask for help. Michaela knows how to work as a team and raise a family who pulls their own weight. Michaela is sure the hell NOT going to cook all night, clean all day, and then watch all the men in her family sit on the couch cheering on whatever NFL teams play on Thanksgiving while she plants her tired feet in the kitchen. Michaela is going to enjoy hosting family and friends, but she’ll also enjoy visiting with her family and friends.
? I can recall some particularly exhausting nights, probably during those first couple months of my baby’s life, when I handed her off to my husband and went back to sleep.got some rest. And guess what? Maybe the next day he did some grocery shopping and cooking too.
