Okay rant time. I keep seeing posts saying things like “she is not your mother” and I see it coming from both men and women’s accounts. So lets get something straight.
What makes a quality woman? It is one who serves. It is one who nurtures. She does this as a mother and she does this as a wife. This is her job. This is what she was made for. A quality woman does her job well and does it with joy.
Fix his plate, pick up his socks next to the hamper, wipe the hair from the bathroom sink, pick up the dishes from his desk. Stop asking him to do womanly chores and let him be a man.
Men, let your woman take care of you in the ways she was made to do, so you can be free to do what you as a man are meant to do.
I wanted my husband’s opinion on this but I decided to ask it a different way. I asked him in what ways do I act more like his mother than his wife. After giving it some thought he answered overprotectivness.
I have to agree with that. A mother is naturally protective of her children but once a man is grown it is his job to do dangerous things and be the protector.
Also when an able-bodied man wants his wife to provide. This could be defined as mothering but it could also be argued that its a father’s job to provide not the mother.
Either way… most of the time when you see statements like “she’s not your mother” “I’m not his mother” it’s coming from a woman who is selfish and lazy.
Rant over. You may all be dismissed. 🌻
