FWIW, I also truly appreciate it when my H is there when something happens with our son. This past summer we thought our son had injured his arm, broken it perhaps....turned out to be nurse maids elbow though. Really there wasn't anything my H could do to help, our son wanted Mommy....I "could" handle things on my own...BUT it was so nice to see him coming through those emergency room doors!!!
Yeah, I could handle things....but it was the fact that he wanted to be there with us, that he was showing support for his family, for us that really meant something to me. It was the fact that yeah, I could have taken care of it alone...but he chose to participate and to be there so I didn't have to do it alone. Stuff like that means the world!
