Jo, you are wrong in your approach You are quite rude and snarky at that wife. .

Yes this is so true. I’m in school to be a therapist and Jo over here wrecking my life in the best way. She has such a gift. God Bless Her

[@StephanieTips]

@@evelynmariesaiter4636 she does know that ultimately what matters is communication, working together for a common goal and trying to be balanced but strict instead of wishy washy but beating the kids up when they don't listen and she teaches and preaches that (sometimes even just telling the parents from an outside perspective is enough to make them think about what they're doing). This doesn't replace therapy when it's needed

Reason is that she is dealing with American families now, in her younger years it was British families. The dynamic is completely different you have to be more blunt and individualistic with Americans; it's a testament to why Jo is so good at what she does. She adapts and learns very quickly

[@bernitacenteno1326]

" It's not your job to learn how to trust him," spoken to a once cheating husband. " It's your job,' pointing to her husband, ' to build trust, once again, so she can trust you." No more beautiful words were ever even spoken to help heal a broken heart, mine. If he can't be trusted, then he didn't build trust, but a wall. He must build trust for her to believe in him once again. It's fractured. He broke her trust, and if it's even possible to rebuild trust in her he has to do it, and not her. It's his responsibility alone, and he alone must be held fully accountable for his choice to cheat her out of her trust in him, by his cheating outside their marriage and while still being married to her. To build may take considerable work on his part and time on her part. " Rome wasn't built in a day, " is a slogan of old.

[@WillSpen94]

This is a prime example of why you don't have children to fill a void. As someone with a parent EXACTLY like that, it doesn't work. Your kids will suffer and have to pick up the pieces later on in life. And, if they leave you, who do you have left? Speaking from experience. Jo is 100% correct.

[@kimt8162]

I must admit it's tough for Moms. You feel like you're being pulled in all different directions. Then if things don't go right instead of discussing; guys usually just shut down. They expect women to be Superwomen these days. You have to still cook, do the housework, the guy still fees like all he has to do is go to work, then you have the kids and all their activities. And you are expected to also "work". The women are carrying most of the load. THen the guy is like, "why aren't you happy?"

[@CeltycSparrow]

Mom says she wants time alone with her husband to be intimate as a couple....but yet, at the same time, she seems unwilling to give up this "addiction" for lack of a better word, that she has created in treating her children like babies. If she wants affection and attention from her husband, she has to be willing to give a bit as well. Its probably hard for her husband to do these things when she has a child in her lap all the time. They are WELL beyond the age where they should be co-sleeping with her. They are old enough now that they can be sleeping alone, in their OWN beds at night and allowing their parents to have their space. Just because she is letting go of THAT part of her bond with her child, doesn't mean he won't love his Mommy any less. It doesn't make her a bad Mom. She can still cuddle and play with her children and show them affection.....it just needs to be in a HEALTHY way....and in a way that DOESN'T interfere with her marriage.

[@ruthgoddard6539]

Couldn't have said it better😳😳😌😌

[@himalikat3140]

No

[@prg4647]

You are absolutely right. Sometimes women detach from the marriage and become mothers 24/7 because they are wired to think that children will love them unconditionally. Most people know this not to be true, but for women that think like this, it becomes a coping mechanism and this end up breaking up the marriage. You have to learn to juggle motherhood and being a wife. If you on one more than the other, things will not work out in one of those ends

[@ruthgoddard6539]
