Lesson: Parenting is a partnership.

Chrissy is married to some dude named John Legend, who is pretty good at making music. But according to Chrissy, he's also pretty good at coparenting. "He would wake up with me every single time I would wake up just so I wouldn't feel like I was alone in it during those first few months of having a baby," she said on stage at POPSUGAR Play/Ground. "He would just sit there and he would read me New York Times articles as I was pumping or breastfeeding. He was just always present, always there. He never made me feel bad about it. You could thank him for it, but he'd be like, 'Don't say thank you, it's just what I'm supposed to do.'"

Motherhood can be the loneliest job in the world, and although my husband can't carry a tune to save his life, he tags in without a second thought to change nappies, cook meals, wash bottles, and assure me I'm not a terrible mother for needing help. Shout out to all the partners who make us feel like we're not flying solo.
