I say you-kids-mom bc when a husband prioritizes his marriage and wife, the kids actually benefit more than if he’s kids-you-mom ❤️

Who put mom as first priority?!? wtf… mom should never go above wife and kids! 🤦🏻

Me then my daughter and then his mum. Because I'm the primary parent for my daughter so if he takes care of me I'm able to take better care of her. His mum is last just by default because he's no contact w her anyway

We prioritize our marriage above all. Most of my kids are adults. My MIL is medically fragile and has a lot of medical things going on. We prioritize her health which looks different on different days.

He should always prioritize himself first, then wife, kids and mom. Thats my opinion ❤️ I do not think you should put anyone above self.

I said kids first but I think the ways in which we prioritize an adult relationship vs the ways in which you prioritize your children are very different and there’s no need to compare. Children are literally dependent on you to stay alive for a significant amount of time when they’re young. Because of that I would consider that the first priority.

You - kids - mom…
Before the kids, there was you. After the kids leave, there will still be you. Spouses should prioritize one another so they are a rock solid united front to care for their children together to their maximum capacity. Mom comes last bc they raise them for their spouse not for themselves.

All of them. It depends on the situation and it’s about balance.

I literally detest this question and I don’t know why it gets asked so much on here. Unless you are all stuck in a burning building and he can only save one, there is absolutely no reason to put yourself in some sort of rank. My husband is good husband, a good Dad and a good son. His relationships with everyone is different. I would never dream of asking my husband who’s more important, me or his Mum, it’s not a competition.

He is my priority and I am his. Our kids are our priority and everyone else comes after that. I believe happy parents = happy babies so we always prioritise our relationship ensuring it is healthy to ensure our kids grow up in a healthy stable environment understanding what good communication is within a relationship ❤️

Our kids should be number one, no questions asked, there is however still acknowledgment that the kids wouldn’t exist without me being okay enough to convince, birth & raise them.
It’s up to him where he places his mother, so long as our child is at the forefront of his brain. (And again, technically me and the child are a package deal, soooo even when he wants mom to be above me, if he’s prioritizing his child(ren) he’d be at least considering me within prioritizing them.)

We are each other’s top priority. When we keep each other fulfilled, we’re better parents.

Where’s the answer that doesn’t have his mom in the equation? We are each others first priority and our kids are our first priority together. Our parents aren’t a priority at all.
Let me edit this and say obviously if our parents need assistance they have it, but his mom, my mom, my brother, sister, family is family and they have no hierarchy either between them, but they ALL come second to our family.
Each other -> kids -> the rest of the world.
