Both are important, you say. But it is impossible to give both equal attention. Impossible!

people say kids without thinking first

whose shoulder do we women cry on? who do we share our fears with? who do we confide in? who stays with us even when things go bad? my husband is like a solid rock i stand on, when he comforts me and gives me happiness, then i can reach out to the kids, how will i be there for my kids,when the relationship i have with my husband is sour?when there is peace between parents, both parents are then able to give the kids the best care and love they can ever ask for
Single parents have survived,haven't they?

yes they've survived, thats why 98% of the kids have learnt to hate and disrespect men,thats why the kids have learnt to compare everyman that comes their way with their dad, and learnt never to trust a man, thats why some of them wish they have a father figure to teach the females what to expect from men and teach the males how to be men

so yes they have survived Undecided

its ok for a woman to say my kids comes first,but for a man to say that, i reckon that man is still a child sucking his mother breasts,and still has a long way to go, before he can be called 'A MAN'

yes very impossible, thats why my husband comes first before anybody, the kids are limited, there are things i do with my husband, i can do with my kids, my kids cant make love to me at night, my kids cant provide for me,my kids wont be with me until i am old and grey, they will leave the house some day,who will stay with me? my kids will leave for the uni some day who will be there with me? who has always been there before the kids came into this world? my husband is the pillar i hold on to, if i cant hold on to that pillar first, how will i be able to care for the kids?

It well depends. . .  .in some stances, the kids will need the greater attention. The husband is a responsible adult, able to tackle problems himselves. That does not mean ignoring him all the same.
Your kids need the greater attention. Don't be enjoying your marriage while your kids lay in disarray. They need to be guided, taught, protected, led in the right path etc. Fortunately, your husband will be/is there to help you raise the kids.

Giving my kids greater span of attention is not a causation, it does not mean I'll  be  ignoring my husband.

read properly and tell me where i said kids shouldnt get the attention they need?where did i say the kids should be abandoned?

like i said the kids will need me and their dad to raise them up, if i am not in a good relationship with my husband, how can i give the kids all they want? no matter what happens, no matter how much time i spend with them, they will always want their dad, a man figure,i can only do what i can do as a woman, the man still has his role to play, take for instance football, i might have a son that loves football and needs someone to encourage him and help him out, thats when the man figure comes in, my part as a woman has limits too, they are things a man can do for his kids that i cannot do

Thats why i said it takes a good relationship with my husband to fill in the gaps, if i am not relating well,with my husband, the man dat  made it possible for those kids to come into existence, then whats the need of a family anyways

my kids are my life, my husband is also my life, but it takes a good foundation between couples to bring a child up

Nowhere in my post did I mention that you said.

Strong rel., trust, time, etc are imporrtant. . . .no one is saying they arent. What I'm saying is that attention cannot be equally distributed b/w hubby and kids.

and for that reason children should have the greater the attention whilst they are with you, and once they are gone, the hubby who happens to be standing on the waiting line, will now be given a chance?

anyways its an individual thingy, but one thing i want you all to know is ' a child cannot stay with you forever' a child will not always be there for you' there comes a time when they will go start their own family, your husband has started a family with you till death do you lot part

Theres no argument here. Havnt you ever heard the saying that a woman has the emotional strength of 10 full growm men? Its not for nothing it is the woman and not the man who carries a child. She has it in her to unite all. A woman can balance it out and she simply would need the cooperation of her husband to understand that theres no competition.
The children are a couples priority in life. You people should stop splitting it into woman/man discussion.

PS. On a lighter note. If a woman asked her husband for 450euros to buy a bag, he'd say no. But he would cough out the 3000 euros for the childrens achools fees. So who is the man's priority there? lol

false i guess you are talking about the useless men here, puhleaseeeeee there are alot of men that will spend their last dime on their wives to look hot for them, and at the same time spend on their kids.

havent you seen men dat refuse to spend a dime on their kids, but will rather spend it on their mistress?

yeah like i said it is an individual thingy, but how will you feel if after asking your husband to buy you a car( take for instance you cant afford it) for over a year and then your husband buys your 16 yr old daughter a car the minute she asks for it?

Im just trying to weigh both options, tell me you wont nag or complain about it, and i will call you morenike a liar Wink

Quote from: ima1 on October 24, 2009, 04:34 AM
well yes, when your kids are able to fend for themselves then you would have more time for your hubby, but like i said before, the hubby has to understand, and put the kids first too (in a situation where both can't be No. 1,)

If you have kids and you now dont have time for the husband, that is a visa given to him to go and cheat, cos human wants to be celebrated, and not tolerated, and if cos of kids, you now dont have time for him, God help u.

let me see, oh yeah, your wife should put the kids first huh? what if your 5 year old daughter cries out every night cos she imagines she sees masquerades , and doesnt wanna sleep with you and mummy in your room cos she feels the masquerade is also in your room, and will prefer it if mummy spends the night with her all the time

How will you feel if your wife leaves you on the bed alone months after months just to sleep with your baby girl, tell me it will be ok with you?

if a woman says all these its understandable by me, but if you men , you attention seeking creatures say the same, then i call you all hypocrites
