Are All Boys Born With Chaos in Their DNA?

Thirteen years of marriage, three wild boys, and a house that feels more like a circus than a home—sometimes I wonder if I'm the only one who feels like she's drowning in testosterone. My husband just shrugs and says, "Boys will be boys," as if that explains why our five-year-old thinks the couch is a trampoline and the kitchen table is a launchpad. Every day, I'm the bad cop, the one always saying "No!" while they run, scream, and wrestle like little tornadoes. Is it just me, or do dads get to be the fun ones while moms are left holding the rulebook? I love my family, but some days, I just want someone to say, "Hey, I see you. You're not alone." Anyone else feel like they're living in a never-ending action movie? 😅 #ParentingStruggles #MarriageRealTalk #BoyMomLife #EmotionalOverload #RomanticRelationships

Are All Boys Born With Chaos in Their DNA?

Struggling to hold my family together​

I'm 25, married for two years, with a 6-year-old daughter who’s my world. I work in a dangerous job, earning well to support my wife’s dreams. Recently, my best friend died at work due to a coworker’s mistake. I had to break the news to his girlfriend and have been helping her. To cope, I’ve been going to the gym excessively, avoiding home. Last night, my wife confronted me about my absences. When our daughter interrupted, revealing she’d had an accident, my wife calmly but firmly said I need to “get it together.” She took our daughter, leaving me devastated. I’m struggling to process my grief while fearing I’m losing my family. I don’t know how to handle this. #Grief #FamilyStruggles #SupportNeeded #EmotionalOverload #Loss
