appreciation and respect - amen! Elly and I tracked through the same years of our life cycle- my husband was raised in the 40s-50s with the idea that whatever the man said or wanted was the final word and the women in his life (Mom & Sis) made it happen - after 45 years I still haven’t turned the corner on that expectation - he’s a good man and father and yes, he was a hog farmer, so he literally brought home the bacon - even tho I have a masters and worked as a professional educator for 40 years, we still have these same frustrating conversations. The missing element in FBFW is the mother-in-law who is clucking her tongue at Elly’s rebellion.
