What would you rate yourself from a scale of 1-10 (where 10 is the highest rate)? To start, since my husband complained and told me that im devoting most of my time for our baby and almost no time for him anymore..id rate myself a 7.

Right now I am probably a 2. My hubby and I have been married so long now, neither of us cares about much any more. He is probably a 3 on the 1 to ten scale. Because he works and pays the bills. But other than that our lives are filled with the same old thing every day. Neither of us spend time with the other. I think we stay togethre because its familiar to us.

I think as wives, parents, whatever, there is always room to improve. So I'd never say 10. But I do believe I do the very best that I can, so I'd say maybe 8?!?

NObody's perfect but I'm striving to be one. I would rate myself a 7 too because I believe that I still have a lot of room for improvement. I'm also guilty of not having enough time for my family now that I'm going away because of a job offering abroad. But I"m doing this for both my husband and my son.

I'd give myself a 5. I admit, I'm a lousy wife. I can't even cook. And I'm also guilty of giving too much of myself to my kids. I'm a full-time mom and that's what I concentrate on, to take care of my kids, to give them what they need, to watch over them. I don't see anything wrong with it, though, because the kids are not mine alone. It's like I'm nurturing our"joint project" so I think that should be appreciated. Besides, who else will the kids' depend on? The nanny? I don't think that would be right. Would your husband want your kids to grow up clinging more to the nanny than to his parents?

I think its unfair for us to judge ourselves. I do believe that nobody is perfect and in whatever roles we play (being a mother, wife, daughter or friend), we would would just aim fot the best. Give credits to yourself. :)

No, I am NOT a perfect wife. There's is no such thing as a perfect wife/husband. We all have our faults/failings. But all we all have to try our best to be the best spouse that we can be. I really do not want to rate myself as a wife. I think my husband should be the one to rate me :D.

I think there's no such thing as the perfect wife. There will always be things that will not be perfect for others. But I will rate myself as 7 also. Because there's still a lot of things that i will be accomplishing as a wife

i am not a mom yet but i would say im not a perfect wife because there is nothing as a perfect thing or creation here on earth......there may be things that my husband doenst want in me but he has to accept me as his wife because he loves me and i would be happy if he will give corrections....i love to have a husband like that.disciplinarian as well....not only for me but for the kids too.
