Surviving the Domestic Jungle

I personally don’t think a wife should be considered a replacement for a mans mother. I think that way of thinking is a little askew. I think it is a little confusing and weird to be honest. I do not want my husband to look at me in a ‘moment of passion’ (I feel like a jack ass writing that for some reason!) and think “mommy” or even in any way shape or form associate me with his mom. I don’t want him to treat me like his mom or expect me to do things like his mom. I am my own person and I have my own way of doing things. I certainly don’t look at him as a father figure! I don’t want him to tell me what to do or tell me to put on jeans under my dress and I certainly don’t want him to intimidate my dates! Just kidding but I think I am making my point. It is just weird to co-mingle those feelings and associations. If you want your mother and the way she does things, go home! My husband (THANKFULLY) never does this to me. He will however mention how his grandmother used to cook things. Considering that a 5 year old could probably cook better than me, I am not surprised. I am not going to change the way I do things just because Grandma used to do it a certain way just like I don’t expect him to go chew tobacco while running a farm or join the military like my grandfather did! While my son is a mamas boy and always will be (whether he wants to or not!!!!) I want him to embrace whoever he ends up with and allow her to be who she is! She will never be perfect like me but she sure can give it her best shot! That was a JOKE! A big one! I am flawed beyond measure….It is what makes me cute I think I have had too much diet coke…..
