I love how Glen is a man who knows exactly what he wants and how he wants it. I can appreciate that as a woman with a fiancé who is a man of little words and requests.
I laughed reading your comment Because my husband is the same way, it’s nice because it’s rare when he says something crazy because of anger, he is a stoic kind of guy, but it can also make him a mystery sometimes.
The first month or two when my son was born I literally did not move from the couch and we binged every Star Wars and avengers movie 🤣😭 that was our mental health development.
As for along time we set up a picnic in the living room and had the baby next to us or went to the hot tub with the baby monitor. It just looks different
It was definitely an adjustment for my husband becoming a father. He didn’t grow up with a father or a male figure of any kind. Also he never took care of babies. I have to still remind myself of this as my child gets older and watching my husband make parenting decisions. We have another one on the way so this’ll be interesting. One thing I will say is, teaching him things and letting him mess up, was hard to do. But once he got it, he was amazing at it. He was amazing at putting him down to sleep, swaddling, diaper changes (that was a doozy) and soothing him. I think me being vocal helped significantly, but I had to learn to “be nice” haha. Also I think dads should take over the care of cleaning and cooking until you feel ready to ease yourself into it. Unless you have a great support system set up. We literally live 1,000’s of miles from friends and family so I had to learn to work with him. But there’s MANY ways he can help and feel of value during those early days. Take care of mama so she can take care of the baby.
Thank y’all for posting. I’m liking the video before even watching it. I’m all caught up now so I have to be patient and wait for the videos to come out 😂😂😂. And let Yvette do the rap 🤞🏿🥰
Love you, Vette❤️ but Glenn is such a family man, and he covers you and protects you and the kids. You both are a couple from heaven. Vette, you are such a sweet person, and I wish my husband would take notes. But, oh, we'll it may be too late ( just kidding). I just love your podcast. Please never stop it. It's like food for my soul. Love you both! Much love, K. Ford🤗
I would say that for a while just learning how to be a mom will be enough personal growth….real quick you’ll figure out your weak points in self care, patience, grace for your self and others, how you handle frustration with helpless little beings, how you handle frustration with others, how you handle your responsibility when tired/hungry/burnt out, etc. Like I still purposely look for personal growth stuff but my kid has been the single biggest mirror of all my flaws & traumas and just from that I’ve noticed I’ve grown exponentially more just from trying to be a good mom. Part of being a good mom is being your full self and you figure out what’s important to you. The need for generational wealth makes you focus your career goals…even if that means showing your value as a SAM🤷🏾♀️These kids are literally different people every day so there’s always something new to get from them with every new stage they are in. Maybe trying to focus too much on “personal growth” specifically is a bit much because you’re already going to have a ton of topics to read up on. Podcast and educational parts of social media are good for quick deep dives though
I completely disagree with what Glen said when Evette asked him “ Was it okay for the wife to tell her husband where she needs help in “ This right here is why most relationships end up like theirs. Years down the line & just finding out what the “Truth” is or how someone really is feeling. It’s never okay to NOT speak up about thing’s you could use more help in. The way Glen is seeing things is only from his lens & how he views it. That’s NOT everyone’s thought process when someone is giving you a list of things that they need help in. That’s a very negative way to look at it. Furthermore, you told Evette that it wasn’t okay for the wife to speak up just for you to explain a different route to the solution & say the same thing she said. You’re way of getting there is just different. You don’t like to be told head on, so you would rather have your wife do small things for you to see the picture. Evette is just willing to say it upfront & cut the sugar coating BS. It’s no right or wrong way to go about speaking up in situations. It’s just how you get there. There’s nothing wrong with being upfront & there’s nothing wrong with taking baby steps. I dislike how Glen keeps painting this broad brush over topics & only seeing it from his lens. Just because you see things the way you do or would feel a certain way about something. Doesn’t mean every man is like that. Some guys love the upfront & some guys don’t. Just like there are some men who aren’t aware of things, just like your wife said. Then there are some men like “You” who just wants a desire for it.
I think most of us are believers here. I know the doctors these days call all the shots...but I'd like to mention that our Father established that time after childbirth is one of purifying, cleansing and healing - exactly like during her period, a time when sex is forbidden. If you have a boy, there is no sex for 40 days. If you have a girl, nothing for the next 80 days (double the time.) This is way more time than what is recommended today. I know many don't really read/follow the Old Testament like that but if you believe He created and designed us, then we should consider trusting his instructions for our bodies. Leviticus 12:1-5 The Lord spoke to Moses, saying, “Speak to the people of Israel, saying, If a woman conceives and bears a male child, then she shall be unclean seven days. As at the time of her menstruation, she shall be unclean. And on the eighth day the flesh of his foreskin shall be circumcised. Then she shall continue for thirty-three days in the blood of her purifying. She shall not touch anything holy, nor come into the sanctuary, until the days of her purifying are completed. But if she bears a female child, then she shall be unclean two weeks, as in her menstruation. And she shall continue in the blood of her purifying for sixty-six days.
