It’s not all bad and there are so many warm sweet parts.
was home with us all summer. A young adult, still boyish enough to be underfoot, but in an oddly “kind of a dependent, kind of a roommate” way. It was a tightrope walk for all of us, a lesson in patience.
My husband’s children, much younger than mine, bring another set of technical challenges to the table. I want to ensure they have all the time alone with their dad that they need, and do everything I can to facilitate that. The downside of that balancing act is that it means I deprive myself of developing a deeper relationship with them, and keep a feeling of… casualness in the air that I worry about.
This first year has had some moments of tension. I have been on the edge of running shrieking into the street, incensed by my husband’s insistence on military style, inhospitable sheet corner tucking. I’ve overheard some less-than-flattering mumbles about the aftermath of my plant trimming frenzies, and our combined failure to create a semi-regular laundry schedule irks us both.
It’s not all bad — far from it. Every morning, he brings me coffee in bed. I have guided him into the coziness of an over-decorated house around the holidays . We’ve learned we love HelloFresh during his busy season of work, and he’s helped me learn to ride a bike around the city with a level of terror much lower than I was experiencing before. We hold hands all the time , and are working on making what was his house, our house.
This first year has been arduous, but worth every blunder. The warm, sweet parts echo that ethereal time when we started dating… only somehow better because we’re married now, and — if we can get it together — can live in that bubble as much as we want.
