Your Man Wants To Be Appreciated For Little Things They Do

Daddyhood Diaries

When you think of a parenting, the main puzzle that hits the head is how great your partner will be in the ballgame. For women across cultures and continents, fixation with the concept of an ideal husband-turned-daddy is very dominant. Not just this, but the fact that women need understanding, pampering and frequent appreciation, is of significance when we think and speak of parenting. 

Yet when it comes to men, their macho image makes them appear less prone to expect appreciation. The ugly truth lies in the fact that men have a soft edge to their tough coat. The trick to a happy parenting phase is keeping your husband happy and by taking time out to express what he means for you. Men have a boyish charm hidden and their expectations too remain very boyish even as they turn older—and a father too.

A for Appreciation and Acceptance

Womankind needs to understand that men take a lot of time making an effort. While choosing a gift for your kid on the go is a cakewalk for women, husbands find it taxing to pick one. Never undermine his choices. Make sure you plan surprises and take time out to show him how you love his gift.

Plan Your Life Together

Even as we say this, it in no way means that the career woman of today has no mental independence. However, once you begin to think of your financial freedom as a ticket to do anything that pleases ONLY you, you tend to drift away from your spouse. Make personal goals and professional targets in a way that both of you are in the same lane. Women need to respect their male halves given that the latter find being ignored as a mark of disrespect. Yes, the quintessential male ego exists! However, it comes to the forefront only when his better half hurts him by being selfish or unbothered about his feelings.

Ask For His Opinion

Be it the latest dress you buy for your kid or the biggest investment-buy for the baby, involve your hubby in your life as much as you can. The best and easiest way to appreciate him is to make him feel important enough that his opinion matters. While we do not suggest being a robot awaiting his nod for each bit in life, small and big decisions can be taken together. Not only does this make a man feel worthy, it also makes parenting a wonderful institution where two souls find their perfect solace.

Take Time Out Understanding His Anger

Men might get irritated and more disoriented than a woman will, due to stresses of parenting. Make sure you communicate well with him and sideline your impulsive anger. Instead of criticising him, try to give him space to normalise. While you do not need to compromise on anything, you can do much more than bicker. Cajole him and make him feel that you are going to stand by him forever.

Once you make your man feel that he is a huge part of your world, your relationship, post-having kids will be rock solid. Go ahead and solidify your bond.
