Celeste Erlach, 38, is a mother of two,
with a 4-year-old boy and a baby to constantly keep her eyes on. And
even though Celeste would probably like to stay in the kid-raising game
without a substitution, naturally, sometimes it drains her energy so
much, she needs help. Sometimes, however, the mom feels like her husband
isn’t willing to step up. After nearly losing it the last time, Celeste
has decided to write him an open letter.
“My husband and I talk about this topic fairly regularly,” Erlach, who also runs a parenting blog called And What A Mom, told Bored Panda. “The reason I wrote an open
letter is because I know lots of women facing similar issues. I discuss
this topic all the time with my friends. I wanted to put it out there
to start a larger discussion. I wanted women to feel encouraged to ask
for help. I wanted husbands to know we need more help.” And it worked;
moms all over the internet started relating to the emotional text.
Since her
story went viral, people have been wondering about Celeste’s husband’s
take on the situation. “He understands the bigger picture,” she added.
“He doesn’t love the attention directed towards him, but he knows my
concerns and we work on that daily.” Scroll down to check out the letter
that started it all and let us know your thoughts about it in the
comments.
