#408 Jodi Silverman: When the Kids Grow Up, But You’re Just Getting Started — Part Two

I guess, but I don't know, maybe dads handle it differently. They've missed their children, yet they seem to be handling it better. They don't have that loss of purpose that a mom has because now things are changing. In the future generations, you're seeing more dads. You're seeing more families because of the financial issues in the world with daycare.

More families sit down and say, okay, who makes more sense to stay home, the mom or the dad? Which parent should stay home? So there are more families. stay-at-home dads, work-from-home dads, and more fathers since the pandemic are working remotely from home, so are taking a much more active role in the day-to-day activity of their children.

So I'm curious to see as generations go on, my feeling for dads are that they miss their children, and yet they don't have that feeling of disconnectedness that moms have, and they don't have the same loss of purpose. They feel sad, but they're not into the level of a mom. That's just been my experience.

I think it's valid. I think it's valid. Yes, we're making some generalizations here and yet it is valid because society still raises boys were to not feel their emotions the way girls feel them and it's wrong it's wrong because i do believe what makes us strong what makes us resilient is our ability to feel and sit with our difficult emotions that's what makes everybody i don't care who you are

what gender you are, how old you are, our ability to feel and sit and understand our emotions is what will eventually create a much more resilient world.

So what I have found is that some women share that when the children are removed from the equation, they're left looking at each other, who are we? Who are we as a couple? Who are you? When did you get, because the children have been everything in their world. And there is a way, it doesn't, I think some people get scared that their marriage might fall apart when the kids leave.

It doesn't have to. What I do agree with what that guest said is I strongly believe that you need common interests together, enjoy to do things together, and you also need your own interests and your own friends too. My husband, Sam, and I have that. We love being together. We like just hanging out together. We go out together. We have couple friends. We go out as couples. And yet he has his golf.

It's very important to have both. I believe that to have a successful, strong relationship, partnership, there has to be both of that. Combined. I will share. Can I give one tip on this one? Of course.

If you are a couple that's feeling disconnected with each other or from each other, my friend and a fellow coach who is brilliant at this, she came up with a great tip and I love it. It's my favorite one. It's called a day swap. And you can do it with your adult children as well, Vince, to feel more connected. So one person in the relationship plans their ideal day.

What is their favorite thing to do? You are invited to come along on their perfect day. And then you swap and you do the other person. What that allows you to do is it reminds you of what this other person who you love so much, what lights them up. watching them enjoy and connects you back to what it is they really enjoy doing. And it's a shared experience.
