Wife demands husband limit free time with nehpews after daughters start feeling left behind: 'I never said they weren't good kids'

One-on-one time with my parents always felt so special as a kid. They didn't even have to plan anything super involved with me to make is feel important, either. I had my own little rituals with each parent; with my dad, we'd always go to IHOP since my mom wasn't too big on pancakes. And with my mom, we'd go window shopping at the mall. Sometimes she'd buy me something, but she taught me to enjoy perusing. These moments felt so important because it was just me and my parent with no distractions or competition.

But sometimes things aren't so straightforward. It's easy to assume that more kids equal more fun, but anyone who's seen a group of cousins together knows it can quickly turn into a full-blown competition rather than playtime. In this story, one mom found herself torn between empathy for her husband's nephews whose dad is often away for military service and her daughters, who just want to enjoy their dad's attention without feeling like they're in a soccer championship.
