What I learned today....

This is going to be hard to put into words but here it goes:

I have been watching this show on the internet called "Teen Mom." Obviously, it follows 4 teen girls who find out they are pregnant through the pregnancy, birth, adoption (with one girl), relationships with the baby's daddy and raising the kid. In one of the horrible relationships, a physcologist asked the mom (the teen girl) why she had such a hard time dealing with the fact that the dad seems not to care about their son and how he can come and go and not miss their child and so on. You know, the typical male attitude, Not involved much. She said she felt like he didn't love their son. But then it was explained to her that men aren't lovey and murturing like mom's are. They love their children but don't show it the same way mom's do--"extreme loveness" is the word he used. THey aren't all gushy. lovey dovey. It may seem like duh, we already knew that but for some reason it felt really good to hear that. I can remember having those conversations with Brad when we were younger, maybe a little less mature. About why do you want to go fishing instead of be with us this evening, stuff like that. But it wan't b/c he doesn't love them or me. It's just the way they are. Anyway, so that's my thought for the day.
