It's been hard because of it being "show time", all the time. Never a break, W through most of this was a SAHM. She has started working, so I get my "home alone with the boys time" and just "be". I am a perfectionist, so I felt the pressure to be perfect, and as Mach said, it's not necessary. But I didn't figure that out for quite a while. Still figuring that out. And figuring out how to make how I am consistent, whether she is home, or at work.
Yea...
After around the 40th time I heard...
"Aren't you just perfect now" (volume intentionally turned down)
I figured that out, and that I probably should have a better answer than "Thank you for recognizing that"..
