Summary
Moms Coddle Husbands (Not Kids)
Moms get accused of coddling their children. But the truth is they coddle husbands because we can't control our own emotions. So Moms have to manage their child's behavior, pick up toys, and create a perfect environment so their husband doesn't get upset. This creates resentment and exhaustion. Kirk gives Dads 3 specific action steps to take this week to change this dynamic. Forward this to your husband.
