So far today, I have only a little nausea and only a little headache. I know that given the last few weeks, it could go downhill fast, but I am going to keep my fingers crossed.
Question: Which is harder do you think; Parenting or Marriage. I was reading a debate on this and I find it interesting to read other opinions.
For me, the answer was simple parenting. It is just so important to do it right. If I get it wrong, I screw up the most important people in my life. With my marriage, it is so much of a give and take, we are partners thing. We struggle, but we work it out together. With parenting, it isn’t a partnership really. It is my job to do it right and not to screw up my kids. Even if I screw up my marriage, it is still my parenting that I am most concerned about and how it will effect my children for the rest of their life.

Parenting, definitely, although that may be because my marriage is exceptionally easy. It really easy to have an exceptionally easy marriage if you never see your spouse………whereas the children are always there…….maybe I should rewrite this!
Cheers
In my opinion, parenting is much harder than Marriage. For some of the same reasons you state – if I mess up this parenting thing – I mess up another life…(in my case two).
hi Twisted Cinderella,
according to me both parenting and marriage are equally important…both are dependent on eachother…if u mess up your marriage it will surely affect your parenting….and vice versa…. so a balance of both is required…
Hmmmm… I’d have to say marriage myself. Maybe because my hubby can make me so mad sometimes, to the point where I wonder why I bother… But I never feel that way about the kids. Ever.
