Raising a Family with a Chef – The Infant Phase

So you made it through pregnancy.  All your fears of your chef/husband not being able to make it to the hospital for the baby’s delivery were unnecessary as he was there in plenty of time. 🙂

But now you have this sweet little baby and your chef/husband is back to work, working a billion hours a week (OK, not that many, but it sure seems like it).  You’re exhausted, overwhelmed, lonely and some days really, really, really, wish you had another adult to talk to.  Raising a family with a chef isn’t easy.

The Chef Wives are Talking (part 5) . . .

Today is the final post in the series, “The Chef Wives are Talking . . .”  I hope you have loved reading through all these articles as much as I have.  It’s so nice to know someone else can relate to my crazy life!

The Chef Wives are Talking (part 4) . . .

For the last two posts in this series, I’m going to share with you blogs that are entirely dedicated to being married to or dating a chef.  A LOT of work goes into writing a blog, especially one in a specific niche like this.  Some of the blogs have just a few posts and others have many.  I am thankful these ladies were willing to be vulnerable and share their lives with us.  It’s not easy.

(Don’t forget to comment on a post if you like it.  As a blogger, it’s nice to know you’re writing to someone instead of just writing to the air.)

Raising a Family with a Chef

I’ll be honest.  This is by far the hardest topic I’ve written about on this blog yet.  I always knew there would be a time to talk about it, but honestly, when you’re in the middle of a struggle or trial, writing about it and sharing about it with the world is the last thing you want to do.

Yet, here I am.  About to spill my guts about what it’s like to parent alongside a chef.  It’s not easy.

Parenting is a trillion times harder than I EVER thought it would be.

It’s very rewarding and I love being a Mom.  But WOW!  It’s not easy!
