Dr. Laura:
This afternoon, I started your book "The Proper Care and Feeding of Husbands," and oh, my goodness! Before I even got to the first chapter, I felt like I needed a break. It hit me just how selfish I have been in my marriage and how often I put my husband and his needs on the back burner.
In the book, the conversation you had with the woman who didn't cook "real" meals for dinner really hit me hard. Though I do cook often, I neglect my husband's lunch. I have always made it HIS problem to feed himself for that meal while at work. I'm honestly a little nervous to continue the book because I know there will be more blind spots I will be forced to face.
I will say that my husband will be pleasantly surprised to see he has a home-cooked meal, packaged and ready for him to take to work tomorrow, and I'm about to boil some eggs for his breakfast. I know it's a little soon to become a raving fan considering I haven't even finished the first chapter, but I really felt the need to reach out and thank you for holding wives like me accountable. I look forward to continuing to make changes to better fill my role as wife and mother.
