The thing that most hit me was the fact that women may not think they can talk to their men in a straightforward manner. I, as a man, appreciate being told what the situation is and that there needs to be a solution. Men love coming up with solutions! It's in our nature to solve problems! Great advice!

My wife has recently started working part time and wants me to help out more with the kids. It seems I have been so busy working that I forgot how to parent. I just need some time to work out the kinks! Thanks for the good thoughts! My wife has recently started working part time and wants me to help out more with the kids.

I think a lot of stress is coming from being at her beck and call for two hours every night. Then you're taking it out on the dad. It's only going to get worse if you don't take care of yourself and quit letting the child run over you. Decide what you want bedtime to look like, tell her clearly what the limits will be, and stick to them. If she cries, it's OK. She needs a better bedtime routine as much as you do. She will adapt to the new schedule and every one will be better off. Stay at Home Mom: my advice would be to put some limits and boundaries on your child first off.

I am a self help book reader for things like this. One of my favorites that had a bit of a comic light to it was "Babyproofing you Marriage" which is good for any couple married or not that has kids. But one that helps one to figure out themselves and how to get what you need from your significant other is "Getting the Love you want" This book helped me and my husband learn to argue and discuss problems without hurting feelings or raising voices. .-= Momma Imp´s lastest blog ..<a href="http://whysomeanimals.blogspot.com/2010/06/bad-mother.html">Bad Mother-</a> =-.
