This question was ripped from the Momversation Facebook page. Apparently women wanted to discuss which role was harder: wife or mother? There were some requests for me to address this. I hope I didn’t disappoint.
It kind of dovetails with “Advice to a Bride.” I would love to hear your opinion.
I don’t know. I can’t really separate them in my mind. I mean, I can in theory, because I mentally know how they’re different, but practically, how do I separate them? Being a good mom at this point means modeling for my kids what a good wife does. And being a good wife often means taking care of the kids. So the two roles are so intertwined that I can’t really distinguish them.
