Keeping the wife happy while hunting

[BAKPAKR]

Married the wrong Woman then.

I can be difficult to live with…

Most people worry about while your gone but it’s when your home that’s more important. When your home, be home. Be present and be helpful.

My wife is really good about letting me go do things. I have had people ask me how I am so “lucky?” I don’t go to the bar. I don’t play Xbox. I cook supper many nights. I do a lot of dishes. I take care of the yard. I take care of the vehicles. Either Saturday or Sunday, I make her breakfast. I even go grocery shopping with my wife a fair amount. I do things for and with her. That’s how I am so “lucky.”

Cartier delivers to the door. If in the $hit, have a red a box delivered while you're in the field. It works most of the time!

Don't go home.

Then next year you can get her a mop bucket, dustpan, or extension cord……

Don't forget an apron and oven mitts.

I just make a solid effort year round to be a good husband, and Father then when I do go hunting or trapping nobody thinks anything of it and wishes me the best.

Good stack of firewood and a good slow cooker meal go a long way.

I try not to bitch about anything if I come home and the house is a wreck.

Letting her go shop for whatever decorations, Halloween or Christmas.

Can tell there are a lot of single or divorced folks in here

This right here is the answer. It can be tough as a young family just getting started when one partner is gone. The kids are a lot to juggle on your own as well as the many other things that need to be done. It should be a priority that when you are home you're engaged, helpful, loving, attentive, etc. If you're a good, present husband 50 weeks out of the year, being gone the other 2 weeks isn't too big of a deal.

i let her boyfriend take care of that for a couple months

Good thinking! I was focusing on the short term, 3 year plan. The apron and oven mitts are for the long term, 5 year plan!
