In The Dog House!
Dear Mrs. Figgins:
My wife is pregnant with our first child. I love her but she is driving me nuts feeling guilty about every little thing “we” eat or drink – even how she sleeps!
If I don’t chime to make her feel better about her choices, she gets upset because I’m not being sensitive enough.
I’m beginning to decorate the dog house!
How do men get thru this?
George, White Plains
Dear George:
Show me a woman who doesn’t feel guilty and I’ll show you a man.
A mother wants the best for her baby and she is always second guessing her choices. The changes she faces seem endless and overwhelming.
You get “thru this” by by doing everything possible to be sympathetic and empathetic. When you think you’ve done enough - keep going.
Think of it this way: Would you like to change places with your wife?
So shape up George, or back on time-out!
Mrs. Figgins
