I realised something yesterday

[Badwifey]

My husband is outdoorsy. I am not.

I hate walking unless there is a reason for the walk. I don't like forests, beautiful but samey.

Anyway my husband was taking dd to the forest for a walk and I felt hugely guilty because I didn't want to go. I told him it makes me feel like shit that I don't want to go.
I went yesterday. It was ok. I was bored. Dd loved it. Husband enjoyed it.

To my realisation.... we were talk ijngvas we walked and I told him how I felt guilty when they head off without me to the first , park etc but then I said... you never do crafts, baking play with her at home and you never feel guilty when you don't...
So I'm going to feel a little less guilty next time they head off for a walk without me because I think I do enough with her for her to remember I played a part in her life.

Your dd is lucky to have parents with different interests. DH and I (and DS) are outdoorsy. I can be crafty if I must. Dd would love mire craftiness. We’ve discovered rock painting /hiding etc as common ground.

Thanks Bike.

I guess I just worry she'll remember the outdorsey stuff more that what I do.

I don't remember my mother doing much with us as children. I just remember the things my dad did. At least if I involve myself every now and again it'll help!!

Take pictures of her and you proudly holding the cakes/crafts, frame them and display them prominently.
