Acknowledgement

Acknowledgement

Acknowledgement goes a long way. We attempt to have some time together talking even if it’s only ten minutes a night over dinner or even folding the washing! For me, it’s important I still show interest in Ben’s job and his successes and this is equally important for him to share this with me. Likewise he shows great interest in our day, even if the responses are merely ‘fed, slept, changed nappy, walked, fed, and slept’. Showing acknowledgement and interest has been vital to helping us feel linked in to each other, and also allowing us to maintain a few of our old routines while having a bit of fun helping one another with life’s daily baby chores.
