Are We Adults or Children?

In life, are we little girls dressed up like women, or are we women dressed up like little girls? I feel like I’ve been a woman most of my life (I’m not talking number of years) and I only dressed up like a little girl for a few years. I’ve always wanted to be someone’s wife and to be a Mommy, I liked responsibility.

I thought about this because I know that my husband (along with most men I’ve met) have been little boys dressed up like men. I see the expressions of a little boy, he gets excited at the prospect of warm cookies and chocolate milk, he still likes to kill bugs. And yet his response to his family is so manly........
It took me way too many years to ask my husband how difficult it was to be responsible for me and the kids (I was a SAHM) financially, was there ever a time when he wanted to run away. He tells me no, he tells me that he just kept moving forward that not working was never an option for him.
I don’t know if I could have been as strong.
He did a fine job of taking care of us, we always had what we needed and as time passed we had more than we “needed.”
