Many years ago, when my daughter was 2 YO, and my son was merely a few months old, my wife had a six week training session to attend. She flew back for the weekend halfway through, probably to make sure the kids were still alive.

I think she was disappointed that the kids were fine, the abode was clean, the dishes were washed, etc.

She was really worried how my daughter would react when she went back for the final 3 weeks. As we watched the plane taxi on to the runway, she asked me, "is that mama's plane?" I replied that it was, and she responded with,

"WELL THERE SHE GOES!!!" My FIL was with us, and we both busted out laughing. I didn't say much about it when my wife called, just told her I promised her a trip to McDonalds.

I can't imagine the daily struggles of a single parent, it takes a mom and a dad to raise a kid. As I see it though, it seems that men marry their wives for who they are, and women get married to change her man for the better, whether they need it or not.

Old saying:

Women marry men for who they can be...

Men marry women for who they are...

Women always try to change men “To Be Better” *cough*...

Men just love their women for who they fell in love with, and rarely see any need to change them.

Why do women find this at all not understandable?
