Once again, Laura Mazza says it how it is and she is 100 percent CORRECT.
I want to tell you the four magic words that will save your life, your marriage, your sanity, your wife’s sanity, etc.
It’s so easy. Are you ready?
You say …
“What can I do?”
Scenario: You’re about to leave and she’s feeling insecure about how she looks and she’s shitty. You know why? It’s because before you went out, she’s fed the dogs, she’s swept the floor so you don’t come back to a messy house. She’s fed the kids, packed nappies, wipes, changes of clothes, baby food, change of underwear, change of clothes for herself (nothing worse than realising you’re underprepared for a snowstorm in the middle of summer), dressed the kids, dealt with a tantrum over shoes and wiped some bums.
And in the last five minutes, before you had to leave, she’s scrambled to get ready.
And then you’ve asked her, “Are you ready yet?”
When what you should have asked while she’s picking out GODDAMN LEGO pieces out of her foot is, “What can I do?”
All she wants is time
If you ask a mum how she’s going to do her hair, she will simply say, “whatever is quickest” when what she wants to do, is to take her time and get ready and FEEL GOOD.
You can literally shower and you’re instantly David Beckham, but some of us like to get dolled up because we have gotten the opportunity to step out of leggings and mum buns and we want to release our inner queens.
We were well groomed when you met us because we had time. Let us have that little moment and take care of shit while we get some self care in check.
“What can I do?” I promise you, the brownie points you’ll get for that could lead to making another baby, ya feel?
