I read a post by @girlwomanmama_ the other day, which reminded me of just how true the old ‘men are from mars…’ theory still is, and in particular, how it offers an explanation for how differently mums and dads seem to perceive the parenting experience.
(I have to say, with regards to the author of this particular article, I couldn’t have articulated the disparity better myself… click here to read.)
In short, what this all comes back to, is how the male affinity for matter-of-factness, can so often be a salve for all the rose-tinting and if-only’ing of the fairer sex.
Of course, there’s an element of generalising here, but overall, the ‘science’ is a tonic, especially if you’re a mum who’s ever been caught in the trap of wondering whether you ‘enjoyed it enough.’
