Dad Uploads Impassioned Facebook Post Defending Co-Sleeping And It Is Going Viral

When we become parents, it certainly does change our lives. Some people consider those changes to be for the best but all good parents do what is necessary to provide for their family in a happy and healthy way. Of course, we all recognize that parenting is going to be full of ups and downs but sometimes, it just requires the proper adjustments to keep things going.

As new parents, one man decided that he would post something on Facebook to provide his wife with some reassurance. It was not only something that provided that reassurance for his wife, it also sent a message to men around the world and that is to put motherhood first. When things work out properly between husband and wife and the children, it can be a very beautiful relationship. Being able to step aside to let a mother be a mother from time to time is important.

This message came from a man named David Brinkley to Alora, his wife. He had overheard her having a phone conversation with a friend in which they were discussing cosleeping. That is when he decided to not only step in, but he decided to step up to the plate as well. Alora’s friend had a difficult time believing that he was perfectly fine with her cosleeping with both of their children. As it turns out, she was convinced that her husband would not let her do it.

He did more than simply answer the question, he went to Facebook to answer it to the world. At the same time, he also wrote a tribute to his wife that has touched the hearts of mothers everywhere.

“I just decided to come out as a man and set a few things straight. I do NOT hate any part of what makes my wife the mother that she is. I would NEVER degrade or disregard anything that she feels like doing for my children. Do I have to squeeze into a small corner of the bed sometimes? Yeah? But my God, how beautiful does she look holding my children? Making them feel loved and safe?”

This post has been shared hundreds of thousands of times and it is still going viral. It’s easy to see that David really cares about his wife and admires her abilities as a mother. He thinks all men should respect their wives.

“I just want to say that I am proud of the decisions my wife makes as a mom and I support every single one of them. I would never want to rob her of this time she has or these seasons that are in reality too short to not enjoy. Please respect your wives as mothers.”

This also applies to many fathers.

“The thing is that our wives only experience these little seasons in motherhood for a short time. They carry our babies, they birth them, they nurture them and maybe while they are little, they let them crawl into our beds and snuggle but eventually our babies get bigger, they grow up, they get “too cool” for snuggles, so why would we as men want to steal a single second of this time from them?”

His post really hit home for many people who love spending that precious time with their children. Kids are only small for a very short amount of time and when they grow up, the opportunity is over.

As parents, we all have to make sacrifices and that includes both the mothers and fathers in the relationship. Sometimes we just need to give up some bed space and allow the mother to take her role in that way. Being appreciative as a husband goes a long way in helping to make a happy and healthy family relationship.

Be sure to share this with your friends.
