[QUOTE="ScentofCedar, post: 169601, member: 3353"] This is an excellent thread for all of us to have read, I think. Janet, I remember when we had kids and grandchildren living with us. It was impossible to make a marriage then, because the parenting and grandparenting roles (and the chaos and financial difficulties they bring with them) made it impossible to remember each other as people with thoughts, feelings, and needs. I really liked the idea about buying some little something special for our husbands, or remembering to make a little magic for them in small, simple ways when we can. Heck, bring a couple of ice cold beers and go park the car somewhere a couple of times a month, just to talk and reconnect. I have been neglectful of my husband in those areas lately, too. You know what they say. Give to get. Janet, you have an amazingly clear understanding of your own position in all this. Just amazing. I will try to be a little nicer, a little more understanding, of my own husband today, because of your posting. And Janet? Happy Anniversary! Barbara :) [/QUOTE]
