❤︎22 To support a wife suffering from morning sickness

"My wife hasn't been able to eat much lately..."

When I consulted him, the experienced dad nodded quietly.

"It's tough, isn't it?"
It makes you want to do something to help when you're watching it too."

"That's right."
But no matter what I do, she can't eat..."

Then the experienced dad said this:

"Let go of the idea that you 'have to make her eat' for a little while."

Huh?

"Morning sickness isn't something"
you can just push through if you try hard enough."

He paused for a moment and continued.

"So, what a dad can do is surprisingly simple."

・Look for things she might be able to eat together. ・Don't force her. ・Take on a bit more of the housework.

"And the most important thing is..."

"Is it asking her if she's okay?"

The experienced dad smiled.

"It's telling her 'don't push yourself'"
and just being there for her."

Just saying that to her.

Those words helped me relax my shoulders a little.

Finally, the experienced dad said:

Sometimes, conveying that 'you're not alone' is more powerful than actually doing something for her.
