I made an unpopular parenting decision that saved my sanity and my marriage. While many advocate for strict 50/50 parenting, I recognized my husband's limitations and chose to shoulder more responsibility rather than create additional stress.
• Back-to-school adjustments forced me to take a podcast break as we established new routines
• Live streams now happening on weekends, available on YouTube and LinkedIn
• With three babies under two, restaurant outings became so stressful we avoided them for seven years
• Husbands and wives often remember their children's early years completely differently
• Women's minds work like interconnected webs while men often think more linearly
• Understanding your partner's limitations is more important than forcing equal division of tasks
• Doing what works for your specific family is more valuable than following others' expectations

Speaker 1 (00:00):
This is still Rose's podcast.
This podcast was created forwomen, by women, to elevate
women's voices.
Happy September everybody.
I had to take a little bit of aforced break last week from
recording and doing anythingextra, because it was my kids'
first week at school and I don'tknow why.
I didn't think it was going tobe a big deal.
I guess because they were incamp, I don't know.
(00:20):
But in any case I felt kind of,I felt prepared and I felt like
it wasn't really going to makea huge impact on like what I was
doing.
But getting back into theroutine of like having to be
like oh right, yes, you do haveto get up early in the morning.
No, you cannot stay up an extra30 minutes, like all those
little summertime things whereyou kind of just let everything
go Killing, those habits havebeen tough.
(00:41):
Kids don't readily, they don'tvery quickly understand like oh
wait, no, you cannot watch TVuntil 10 o'clock at night.
So there's that, you know,getting everyone back into the
swing for that.
So I had to take a little bitof a break because of that.
And then we had family healthissues.
There was almost like a lotgoing on, and you guys know my
motto give yourself grace.
When you can, you just have tokind of roll with it.
(01:01):
I tried really hard not to beatmyself up, although I must say
that's very difficult for me,because there was many moments
where I was like, all right, youknow, maybe I should just stay
up late and record, or maybe Ishould do this, or you know,
like you kind of go through thethings and I always felt, to be
perfectly honest with you, maybeguilt when I don't get to.
I don't think guilt is theright word here, guys, but I do
(01:27):
feel bad when I don't get to dosolo episodes.
I've started to roll out thelive guest streams, so they've
been happening on Saturdays andSundays for the most part.
I have some gap weekends wherethere's no episodes scheduled at
all, and then I had one weekendthere was three episodes you
pulled out at once.
So I'm kind of just making itwork and seeing where I net out.
Streams are all featured onYouTube and LinkedIn.
(01:48):
So if you follow eitherStillRosesWomen on YouTube or me
on LinkedIn, jenny Benitez onLinkedIn you'll get
notifications for the livestreams and you'll be able to
watch them.
And the videos are also livingthere too, so you can actually
just rewatch if you want to.
So there's that, that'savailable to you, and I am
excited about the live streams.
It's kind of cool.
I'm still nervous about it, butyou know it is what it is.
So thought starter Now.
(02:09):
My kids are older now andsomething really interesting
that I'd like to ask all thewives out there when my husband
and I reflect on when the kidswere little, we both seem to be
remembering it differently and Ican almost sense some of you
laughing along with me andchuckling on that one.
Now I can't say for certaintythat I'm the one who's 100%
(02:31):
correct, but like wink, wink,nudge, nudge, I kind of feel
like I'm the one who's correcthere.
So and I'm going to tell you,you know what?
Let me start with the thoughtstarter really.
So you guys know how I feelabout Pinterest.
That's where I'm getting all mythought starters on Pinterest,
and one of the posts that I justsaw recently made me think
about this, which is also whatprompted me to say my husband
(02:54):
and I are remembering the kidswhen they were babies
differently.
So in this little post here theoriginal poster was trying to, I
guess, make it funny that youknow her husband had said it
would be okay if they all wentout to eat together, her and her
husband and their three smallkids.
And then in the video they showthe mother two of the kids are
(03:14):
on her lap and one is standingnext to her and she's basically
like kind of spoon feeding theone and you know, the kids are
grabbing for everything.
If you have small children,like you know, you don't even
have to see the post, you knowexactly what I'm talking about.
And then they kind of pan.
The camera pans from the mother, who's like taking care of all
the kids at once, to the husbandwho's just eating his food,
basically by himself, because,you know, no one's bothering him
.
But that's the original post.
(03:34):
In the post that I saw, thisguy kind of comes in over
overlays, over the video whichyou've seen on, you know,
socials before, and he startsspeaking to this and he says
like a lot of women feel like or, yeah, a lot of women end up in
situations where it's likebeing a single parent in the
house and they're basicallyresponsible for everything, they
(03:54):
do everything, the kids alwaysgo to them for everything and
the dad's just there and he'sjust present.
Now I saw this video and, to beperfectly honest, it makes me
sad.
It really does that image one.
It was like giving me PTSD vibesfrom when my kids were little
(04:15):
and we tried to go out to eat.
We only went out to eat.
My kids are born my son in 2016, my twins in 2017.
So I had three infantsessentially at the same time.
Mind-numbing is the word that Ican use Like really, I don't
know how else to describe this.
We tried once to go out to eatwhen they were really little and
(04:36):
I didn't sit the whole time.
I just walked around liketrying to keep the kids in order
, making sure that my husband,kitty, and like everyone else at
the table had some kind ofpeace, and, of course, me as the
mom felt like all the eyes wereon me, all the pressure was on
me Control your kids, get yourkids under control, and that
stress ball of a situationimmediately like severed any
(04:57):
kind of going out for aboutseven years and I'm not
exaggerating Like I legitimatelyhad to give it up completely
because it just wasn't enjoyablefor me.
Now I know some couples thatmade it a point to continue to
go out because that wassomething that was important to
them and they want to make surethat their kids just got it and
eventually just behaved atrestaurants and understood Like
(05:20):
when you're at a restaurant youact a certain way.
I've never been out to eat withthem, these folks, but from
what I understand they're makingit work.
I just didn't want to deal withit and there was no part of me
that there's still to likeApplebee's or like places that
listeners for across the globe.
(05:48):
Applebee's is kind of like avery casual, low key restaurant
that has just like little snackI can get little snacks for the
kids and it's not like a fancy,formal kind of environment.
So if the kids misbehave or ifanything goes awry, I can just
get up and get out of there andit's not a big deal.
If they spill something I'm notgoing to have a heart attack.
It's not, you know, the end ofthe world.
(06:08):
So I had started practicingwith them when they were about
four or five years old and everyonce in a while I would take
them out just to practice and Iwould tell them this is practice
, guys, we're practicing.
I'm saying a lot here as to likewhat my journey was with this
situation, but I also want to.
My husband and I rememberthings differently Now.
The point of the post that Isaw was to basically shine a
(06:28):
light on the fact that there'sso many women out here with
children that feel like they'rebeing they're a single parent
because the husband is notengaged, the husband is not
involved with the kids in thesame way that the mother is.
I want to say probably aboutnine times out of 10, that's
accurate, and I don't usuallylike make blanket statements
like that.
I try not to, because I do wantthis to be a fair playing field
(06:51):
here on this podcast.
But to be perfectly honest withyou, I haven't actually seen it
any other way, I just haven't.
I haven't observed that, notconsistently Now.
My husband has always beendisciplinarian.
He only steps in at thediscipline stage for a very long
time.
That's where he was stepping in.
Any other thing that washappening, it was mom.
(07:13):
Now, some of you might be likehearing this and being like God,
jenny, like you should havesaid something.
You should have done something.
This is my position here onthis.
This is an unpopular opinion.
I understand that a lot ofpeople in my family and everyone
said you should make him helpyou, tell him you need help,
force him to do it.
Say something.
You need to open your, you needto complain, you need to say
(07:34):
something.
That is not what I did, for manyreasons and I'm going to
explain it a little bit here.
So, number one well, number one, I'm pigheaded and I very much
was like I can do this myself, Idon't need your ass Like excuse
my language, guys, but that'skind of the pigheadedness was
like really rearing its uglyhead after I had kids and I was
like I don't need anybody, I cando it myself.
So there was that I was dealingwith in my own internal turmoil
(07:56):
.
Beyond that, outside of mebeing pigheaded and stubborn,
outside of that, there was apart of me that recognized the
limitation.
Now some of you are sighing atthis point.
What are you talking about?
Like, he can help.
He has arms, he has legs, hecan absolutely help out with,
you know, bath time and he canhelp out with getting the kids
dressed, getting the kids downfor bed, getting them out the
(08:17):
door in the morning, he can helpwith feeding them.
He did do things in certainmoments, but it was
predominantly me.
Again, I'm going to circle backto the limitation factor.
I'm not putting men down becauseI think men are very smart.
My husband is one of myfavorite people in this entire
world.
I tell him all the time he'sone of the best people that I
(08:37):
know.
But he's limited.
He cannot do the web of thingsthat I do.
He just can't do it.
I've noticed this with men ingeneral.
They're very linear.
It's a point A, point A1, pointA2.
Now we're at point B, point B1,point B.
That's the trajectory.
The woman's mind is either to aspider web or a net, and there
(09:00):
are so many things balanced andinterlocked and intertwined that
we, for some reason and I thinkit might be that biological
function that happens after youhave a child your brain changes
and everything we can handle it.
We just can.
A lot of us can, and I took abeat during this scenario and
(09:20):
had this kind of epiphany momentof am I going to argue with my
husband and am I going to pokethe bear, basically, and make
this into a situation that'smiserable because we're going to
start fighting because of thekids, or am I going to take this
on and I'm going to ask him forhelp or get help as needed when
(09:43):
I have to, but for the mostpart it's going to be me.
That was the decision I made.
Also, I didn't plan to talkabout any of this today.
It's just kind of coming out.
So whoever is hearing this,that needs to hear it.
I'm trying to be as honest as Ican here.
I had just made the decision itwas going to be me.
I can handle it.
Now, my own personal historywould speak volumes, because the
amount of times my parentsheard me say I can handle it, I
(10:05):
got it.
I mean, they'd be millionairesat this point because I am a
pain in the butt.
But that's what I looked at.
You know, I took a step backand I was like I know my husband
.
I know who he is as a person.
I know what he can handle andwhat kind of stress he can
handle and what can't he handle.
He cannot handle sleepdeprivation not even a little
bit, not even close.
(10:26):
But I could.
There was things like thatwhere the multitasking can't do
it, can't do it to save his life.
I can do it to save my life andmany others.
I could do it.
You know, there's certainthings that I'm like.
I know I can do this.
I'm going to save my sanity andmy marriage and I'm going to
save us a lot of arguments if Ijust go ahead and do it Now.
Again, unpopular opinion.
(10:47):
I think that there's a lot ofpeople out there that are
listening to this podcast rightnow and go no, it has to be fair
.
You need to split it equally.
It needs to be 50-50.
Okay, that's fine if that worksfor you, but that was not going
to work for me at all and Ibasically told everybody around
me, like this is what it is andif I ask for help, I'll ask for
(11:10):
help.
And to this day, when I do askfor help now, which is actually
a lot more often now, I'mlearning, I'm growing as a
person.
Everybody when I ask for helpnow, he 100% just gets up and
does what I need to do becausehe knows I'm only going to ask
for help when I really reallyneed it and not actually
peppering him all the time.
Again, I was everywhereprobably just really irritated
with what I'm saying.
My whole point here is you needto know your partner, know what
(11:31):
they can handle and then actaccordingly.
I'm not saying don't ask forhelp.
I'm saying know who you married, know who is your life partner,
know who the other person is,understand what their strengths
and weaknesses are and then workaccordingly with that.
Don't try to force thesituation, because the more you
try to force the situation, themore harder it's going to get,
(11:53):
and that's what's going totrigger those fights and that's
what's really going to triggerthe problems.
So, if you recognize, you knowwhat he's never been great at
this, or he or she's never.
They've never been great at.
You know multitasking, okay.
Well, what makes you thinkthey're going to be great at it
now?
Now, with this extra pressureof a child screaming bloody
murder, like, really, reallythink about that.
And I'm not saying like youdon't deserve grace, you don't
(12:15):
deserve a break.
I'm not saying you don'tdeserve help, I didn't say any
of those things.
But you have to strike abalance for yourself and your
partner.
That's not going to make thesituation more stressful than it
already is.
I'm scared but interested tohear from everybody on this one,
because I know that this is abit of a hot button.
Not everyone's going to agreewith me and I've had to explain
my piece to many, many people.
(12:36):
This is just an unpopularopinion that I happen to lean
into because it works for me andyou guys know how I feel about
that.
You got to do what's best foryour family.
You cannot compare yourself toanybody else.
So, on that note, I'm going tolet all of you go, have to put
my kids to bed.
I really appreciate all of youbeing with me, being with me on
this journey for the podcast.
Thank you for the listenersacross the globe, in the UK, oh,
(13:00):

to the podcast and just reallybeing here with me in this space
and understanding this is thespace.
It's safe, this is a spacethat's not judgmental and this

(10:05):
got it.
I mean, they'd be millionairesat this point because I am a
pain in the butt.
But that's what I looked at.
You know, I took a step backand I was like I know my husband
.
I know who he is as a person.
I know what he can handle andwhat kind of stress he can
handle and what can't he handle.
He cannot handle sleepdeprivation not even a little
bit, not even close.
(10:26):
But I could.
There was things like thatwhere the multitasking can't do
it, can't do it to save his life.
I can do it to save my life andmany others.
I could do it.
You know, there's certainthings that I'm like.
I know I can do this.
I'm going to save my sanity andmy marriage and I'm going to
save us a lot of arguments if Ijust go ahead and do it Now.
Again, unpopular opinion.
(10:47):
I think that there's a lot ofpeople out there that are
listening to this podcast rightnow and go no, it has to be fair
.
You need to split it equally.
It needs to be 50-50.
Okay, that's fine if that worksfor you, but that was not going
to work for me at all and Ibasically told everybody around
me, like this is what it is andif I ask for help, I'll ask for
(11:10):
help.
And to this day, when I do askfor help now, which is actually
a lot more often now, I'mlearning, I'm growing as a
person.
Everybody when I ask for helpnow, he 100% just gets up and
does what I need to do becausehe knows I'm only going to ask
for help when I really reallyneed it and not actually
peppering him all the time.
Again, I was everywhereprobably just really irritated
with what I'm saying.
My whole point here is you needto know your partner, know what
(11:31):
they can handle and then actaccordingly.
I'm not saying don't ask forhelp.
I'm saying know who you married, know who is your life partner,
know who the other person is,understand what their strengths
and weaknesses are and then workaccordingly with that.
Don't try to force thesituation, because the more you
try to force the situation, themore harder it's going to get,
(11:53):
and that's what's going totrigger those fights and that's
what's really going to triggerthe problems.
So, if you recognize, you knowwhat he's never been great at
this, or he or she's never.
They've never been great at.
You know multitasking, okay.
Well, what makes you thinkthey're going to be great at it
now?
Now, with this extra pressureof a child screaming bloody
murder, like, really, reallythink about that.
And I'm not saying like youdon't deserve grace, you don't
(12:15):
deserve a break.
I'm not saying you don'tdeserve help, I didn't say any
of those things.
But you have to strike abalance for yourself and your
partner.
That's not going to make thesituation more stressful than it
already is.
I'm scared but interested tohear from everybody on this one,
because I know that this is abit of a hot button.
Not everyone's going to agreewith me and I've had to explain
my piece to many, many people.
(12:36):
This is just an unpopularopinion that I happen to lean
into because it works for me andyou guys know how I feel about
that.
You got to do what's best foryour family.
You cannot compare yourself toanybody else.
So, on that note, I'm going tolet all of you go, have to put
my kids to bed.
I really appreciate all of youbeing with me, being with me on
this journey for the podcast.
