CVA, The motivation part is that I would get no words of approval or praise/compliments. H would say he does not get this from me either,but the key diff w/me is I don't NEED CONSTANT positive reinforcement like he does. That takes alot of work and I can understand the kids needing that but him? I know I just have to change my mindset.
Like the other day(I get more compliments/appreciation from my little ones) than him, I reorganized the two little ones room & got rid of a lot of unwanted toys(done this before,but now I rid fo a whole lot more).The girls were so excited by the neatness in their room when H came by to p/u the kids they insisted look daddy look at our room! H actually said- Wow! This looks great!this is what I've wanted for years (yeah & I never did it before)hmm...
