Someone posted about this earlier and I thought I would elaborate something that me and my partner think. We love our children like there's no tomorrow but our relationship comes first. Even though we are parents, one day our children will move away and have lives of their own. When that happens, all we will have is each other in the end. Our children's needs come first but all we have is each other. This is just our perspective

My DH and I agree on that NOW as well. He used to think differently, of course, he had been brainwashed by his pathetic mother and ex and all of them. But right now, we both feel the same. We do things for our child, but our marriage comes first. Our child is an only child in our home and he knows and always has known, how to entertain himself, he's independent (ie. not clinging to us all day), etc. We have our nights where we play music, have a few drinks, dance the night away (since we don't have a sitter) and our kiddo is fine just going into his room to play video games, watch a movie or goes outside to play with his friends. Heck, my son is autistic and we put his well-being first on many things, but that does not mean that we put our relationship last all the time either. I agree with you 100%. Parents who do not do this are actually abusing their kids. They are using their kids as emotional support and that is wrong, wrong, wrong.
