As I write this, my hubby darling must have already reached his destination with his boys. Yes he is on a boys trip. Having announced this can we have all those raised eyebrows from my Girls trip get back to rest please, and in case the other one is up too please be informed that we have loads of travel planned together for the year ahead. So yes that shouldn’t be a concern for you. Neither the well being of my kid whom I left for just four nights with none other than her father who is as competent in taking care of her as me, because we are bringing up our kid together, I am definitely not the only one who takes care of her and her routine. Except for breast feeding ofcourse, fathers are totally capable of taking care of the kids as much as their mothers. And I am glad to have one. How much I missed my babies also should not be a concern to anyone except them.
I am appalled by the way the society treat a girls trip. If the girl is not married yet, then she is unruly, aawara and uncultured. If the girl is married then probably her marriage is not going good and god forbid if the girl is a mother then she is an emotionless mother who has absolutely no attachment with her family. Gosh please guys give me a break. And lets take these situations to a boys trip. Unmarried ones are having the times of their lives, married ones are catching up with their friends and those who are dads are taking a much needed break. It’s all so simple and as well as approved by everyone. And you always wondered why only the husbands get those boys trip invitations from their friends, ofcourse all married and doting dads. While I want to reinstate that I am absolutely ok with the idea of boys chilling with their friends, what troubles me is their unawareness that their wife might need a break too and it should be as Ok or Easy as it is for them to take that break. To the lucky wives, whose husbands are genuine enough to think on the same lines, fall short of companions, as the wife’s friends might not be blessed enough to have that support in their husbands. Mind you those unsupportive husbands are the ones who go ahead and make their travel plans without thinking about their wives and then complaint about how the wife is always cribbing about his Me time. And if you happen to ask where is her Me time, you would be looked at as some rebel who is there to spoil their marriage. Please spare us that negativity. The whole purpose of starting to write this piece was to tell all you complaining husbands that first be a little thoughtful to your better half and let her go and enjoy some time off with all the assurances that everything will be taken care off in her absence and see how she comes to understand your guys nights better. To all the ladies who are irritated that why their husbands need to have a guy time at all should go take a break as well and see how rejuvenated it leaves you. Ofcourse the family time and travels should not be compromised at all but a lil Me-time every now and then will keep both husband and wife happy.
