When Your Partner Suggests a Nanny Instead of Helping

Last night, my husband told me, "Just call a nanny whenever you want help." Hearing those words stung more than I expected. I know he works hard, but sometimes I wish he’d see that parenting is a partnership, not a job to outsource. There are moments when I crave his support—not just another set of hands, but his presence and connection with our kids. It’s not about needing a break; it’s about wanting to share these messy, beautiful moments together. Has anyone else felt this way? How do you handle it when your partner seems to step back instead of stepping in? Share your thoughts below—I’d love to hear your experiences and advice. #ParentingTogether #FamilySupport #MarriageJourney #Parenting
