That’s true, and she didn’t say she put his needs ahead of young children’s needs, but that she put him first, loved him more. That’s as it should be. I always shudder when I see a woman loving her kids more, putting their whims ahead of her husband. eeeek

The unspoken background, one hopes, is that the husband is not a narcissistic nincompoop who maximizes his own “needs” while minimizing the children’s. The same is true if the article were a husband saying he’ll “always put his wife before his kids.”

Adults are supposed to have the wisdom to discern genuine “needs,” prioritize legitimate “wants,” and sacrifice self-centered “whims.” If they won’t make a serious effort at this process of maturity, then they’re just bigger, messier, and more expensive children.
