I had no idea to look at that particular week from this angle. Thank you ! Made complete sense.

Most women in our culture have to deal with the maximum amount of responsibility we can cope with nearly all of the time. So when PMS hits, it's not that we're suddenly annoyed at things that normally don't bother us---those things normally piss us off, but we have just enough energy to be diplomatic, or cope with fixing it ourselves. PMS hits, and it's the straw that breaks the camel's back. I chart my period and days I seem to have pms and it's Shocking how I don't seem to have pms in the months where I don't have responsibilities. The worst pms of my life? The month where I forgot to keep it in mind, and worked to the edges of my energy in the preceding 2 weeks. Doh!

Is it PMS that had you do this video in the car? 😆 Getting a little too much honesty today? I have hormonal imbalances that are severe and all I get called is crazy all the time. Being female SUCKS. Thanks for being a human being. Seriously, since when is being sedated a sign of mental health anyway?

How Josh described how he interacted with sex made me tear up and feel extremely seen. I have never been able to put into words my struggles when it comes to sex but that really hit the nail on the head for me.

Thank y’all for being vulnerable and discussing this. Top notch!

I heard "people who are menstruating" and immediately lost interest.

This is great!

The worst part is that, this is common knowledge. Certain social groups just choose not to pass it on or acknowledge it.

This is an excellent question, definitely made me think. 🤯

Stereotype

Narcissistic, him?

This was the first video I saw on TT. It was the first time I heard this message and it hit on every cord. Thanks Josh. I have learned so much and will always be learning. In this journey together

Agreed, It’s got nothing to do with valuing their utility over identity. It’s 💯 replying in the context of how YOU are loved. Other than our moms and dogs, men are only loved for their utility.

Meh. My kindergartner gave me a card that loves me because I “Mac the bst dinr”. To be fair, I work really hard to feed my family and I cook as an act of love not a hobby. She doesn’t like every food and I try to offer something she will like and all the other 5 kids will too. Yes, she values me for the things I do for her, and yea I DO things for her out of acts of love. She showed me that love is landing in her heart, and all is right in the world. Doesn’t mean she is transactional, it means I’m not burning my effort on a miss.

Then go to Ukraine and fight there. And the man will have a beer at the bar

Maintain the status quo. I prefer not to live in a society where “ to each according to their needs, and from each according to their ability” is the social contract. That seems to be to matriarchy men are called to be the head and not the tail.

Women need to QUIT competing with men. WE are not the same!!!

You guys are nauseating.

This hits home, I had 42 hours of labour and heavy breastinfections and 6 weaks was not nearly enough to start working again. But I did start and it was not the best time of my life. It should have been a special time, being a mom of a beautifull healthy little boy. I should have enjoyd it more, but nobody asked me if I was oké. And I was not able to speak up for myself in that situation

I told my ex for years that if I could read minds I would be in Vegas and not talking with her

Women are still very trapped!!

👌spot on!

Love your content. Keep it coming!

Please please Keep up with the excellent content! Guys need to know this stuff and they need to start doing this stuff! It's really not rocket science! It's basic common knowledge that all males need to know and they need to take up their responsibilities as a husband and a father and stop leaving everything to their wives. We aren't supposed to feel like slaves in our own homes. It's not right! There are way too many man toddlers in this world! It's extremely selfish and it's unacceptable! Fellas! Wake up and smell the coffee! Or one day your wife will walk away and never look back and you'll be sitting there on your sorry ass wondering what the hell just happened! " She just up and left me for no reason "! BLA BLA BLA BLA! WAKE THE F UP!!

You wife is so lucky . I do everything in my marriage. The husband does nothing but work out of town, come home, eat and go to sleep. Sometimes he goes bass fishing after work til after midnight. I can see on the tracking app we use that he is actually at the lake. But that's it. I cook. I clean. I do all the chores. I take care of the kids. He very occasionally half heartedly runs around with the vacuum or runs a damp cloth over the furniture. But that's it. This has been my life for almost 22 years. I'm exhausted, burnt out and fed up. There's no way out either. No available family or friends to go stay with, and no money to go anywhere. So divorce is not an option.

I’m new to y’all’s channel, but I’m totally invested in these much needed conversations. I came from the same conservative Christian background and can see all the same pot holes that were the demise of my marriage play out in your stories. I’m just now, many years later learning not to hate myself, or take all the blame for my marriage failing. Thank you for sharing y’all’s marital healing journey. ❤

Wow ! Very very cool and interesting! Ive had 4 miscarriages. So, is this the case with miscarriages as well? If so , thats awesome!

Here's a thought... Don't be a single mom and you don't have to come up with this copium bullshit. If you're a single mom, you've shown that in one way or another, you're unfit for the job, excluding widows of course.

and this people is why corporate pushed feminism that wants woman to work and not the litteraly most importaint job in society we have. i dont wanne force people but lets regonize motherhood is the most essential, honourable and admirable job. fatherhood is importaint too and humanity is still programmed with insticts.

It takes a village to raise a child. I speak three languages and weirdly, all three have a version of this saying. Maybe for a reason

I live in Europe, same thing is happening here and it's even harder when you have a speial needs kid.

As a single father I would like to say why most mom and dad are amazing Self sacrificing for their kids you can't say this for all mom or dad because my ex tried to get rid of my daughter because she didn't want to be a mom she just wanted me her words and I have heard lots of stories like mine from ether single dad

That is a question that should not even be asked. It just comes natural. It is the best job in the world. I've always wanted to be a housewife that meant that had children automatically the day I lost that job was the saddest day of my life. embrace womanhood comes naturally if you let it.

You don’t need a community. You need God! Jesus Christ! That is my advice. He is the One who gives me the wisdom and strength every day to be the amazing mom I am in Him.

Frozen teething rings and when they're old enough very bits of ice cream, now this is more the help women with birth as a first time mom, when giving birth push like you're taking a shit and you can avoid tearing, it helped me during birth i never tore, my friend didn't do that and had to get stitches she tore so bad

It's cliche but it really does take a whole tribe to raise a child, community is vital to kids development, communication and interaction are core to the human existence...

Currently a childfree cat lady and nothing in this current environment in America is making me think raising kids here is easy or attainable. Having a cat is hard enough for me. I can’t imagine having kids.

Gay

Honestly, childfree because I couldn't agree more. Raising children under individualism & late stage capitalism is an awful slough. I aspire toward a world where plants receive soil

I’ve seen men and women, both work to make/help their and others kids thrive. So i’d commend everyone who takes caring for other people as their heart mission. ❤️

It's funny. My late husband of 16 yrs was deeply religious (not the go to church kind of religious but the read the bible daily & try live wwjd as close as it's possible to do so). I've always been an atheist & yes, he always knew that. It's interesting because he had more in common with me than he did with the people who spent every Sunday in church but then go to brunch after & "tip" the waitstaff in bible verses instead of cash while I'm the one arguing for free lunch for all kids at school & working at the homeless shelter dishing up food for homeless people. As long as you respect your partner no matter what, different, even extremely different, isn't always a deal breaker.

That grass in the concrete analogy was smoking 🔥

Here's one....make sure you show them healthy relationships and cut out all that are not..... because you'll turn around and watch your daughter or son be in that same scenario later in life. Even though I left my children's drug addict father after 12 years too long now my 21 year old son is dating a girl who's lying to him about drugs just like his Dad did to me. I tolerated it too long just "to keep the family together". Biggest mistake EVER. LEAVE.

Well there are ways to make your kids feel like they can express their individualism without making a separate meal for each child and treating each one like they're a special little prince who commands the family with their emotions.

You are going to get it wrong more often than you get it right, you will always love your children but you won't always like them, your job is not to do it for them or even with them, your job is to be there when they fall or fail or when it all falls apart, pick them up, tell them they are ok and encourage them to try again

But humans weren't designed for independence. Yeah sure its amazing that so many can make it work on their own, but it shouldn't be normal. You can choose the culture you raise your kids in, just find a community that you see value in and start contributing to it.

This is so honest. Thank you for the honesty 😭

Wow. The competitive and ego-centric socialization of men is truly shocking and eye-opening to hear. Thanks for the insight and honesty! This realization shook me. There is no room for collaboration and giving with a partner with that attitude.

Hi :)) Thank you so much for this. Really, really appreciative

I think it's because men are socialised to dismiss what women say. It's called 'nagging', 'b*tching' et c. Men are taught that listening to women and doing what they ask is 'simping'.
