1) We need rest or some me time too - when we are at home looking after the kids, we exhaust our physical and mental. Trust me staying at home is more exhaustive and stressful than working in the office. The only moment that we have our me time is when we are at shower or toilet! So sometimes we deserved a longer shower. Women has more nurturing character but that does not mean that we do all the house work all the time. Men and women must work together as a team. A child can throw tantrum when upset, women too need some 'fresh air' to clear our mind! We are less likely to have child free time as much as men.
2) Volunteer to help - you don't help after being asked to especially with carrying things. Men always claim to be stronger than women, so proof it! Pushing the pram alone (even if it is a double pram!) doesn't make you look stronger when the opposite sex walking next to you is carrying the kiddo bag or the bag that has water bottles( for the kids and the adults!)
3) We are as hungry as you when it comes to food even though we may eat lesser. We also like to relax and enjoy our meal after a long day! Men and women must learn to take turn to attend to 'emergencies'. We need food to keep us going! Also always ask if we want more before finishing the food/ drinks. We sometimes take longer time to finish our food/ drinks because we are busy attending to 'emergencies'
4) Driving the wheel is tiring but it is not as stressful as sitting next to a crying child, so try to find the fastest route to your destination. We don't expect you to speed, just be smart to use the fast route. Also remember, sitting on the driver's or co- driver's seat is the most comfortable seat, others seats are less likely be comfortable if there are more than 2 adults in the car. Also don't try to be too ambitious to try long road trip. Small trips first!
5) We are not expert in attending to unsettled child, we learn through experience. We are panic too when the child cries or throws tantrum but we don't ran away or pass on to another person or raise our voice. We learn to take control of the situation.
6) We women are the more emotional sex- we can be superwomen but we still get emotional easily. Once we get upset, if it doesn't hurt, just let things be done our way, don't try to out smart yourself.
7) We love compliments and/or pleasant surprises, small compliment and/or pleasant surprises can make our day. Prolonged absent of compliment and/or pleasant surprises can make us upset!
8) When we need to be early for an appointment the next day, we get enough sleep and get ready early(eg wake up early). We don't plan to be late, we plan to be early. We don't blame the history, we plan the future.
9) When we are upset, we want men to support us not trying to analyse whether it is reasonable for us to be upset. We don't keep our emotions well, when we are upset, we are upset, that's it!
10) Our dislike of messiness doesn't make us like cleaning. Keep the place clean and tidy together all the time at all time.
