DTD stands for (among other things) drunk til dawn or drunk til dead. There was also some other definition that had something to do with hooking up with a fat chick. In any case, yes, you probably don't want to know.

you might as well say f..ing. But at least that has some positive connotation.

Perhaps we also get less support than we used to. More women work, extended families are more dispersed. Another friend of my hypothesized that minivans and carseats killed big families. You really can't fit more than 4-5 kids in there at once, given all the safety equipment. Back in the day, you could pile 8 kids in the back of the station wagon. I agree most mothers probably do feel inadequate. Guilt seems to come with the job description. And most parents probably do want what's best for their children, for their families. How you come to know what that is is at the heart of my question. Last edited by RedHeadGal; 02-12-2009 at 02:40 PM. Reason: I meant "dispersed" not "disbursed." Funny slip. |

Danimal has a cousin with 9 kids. They bought a used limo on eBay for really cheap to use as their family car.

You're not the selfish one here. You're the one looking out for junior and juniorette, realizing that they need more attention than you could manage with a newborn. I know that you could do it if you had to, but unless you thoroughly exhaust yourself some of either junior's (considerable) or newborn's needs would go unmet, and you would feel frustrated and inadequate. So Mike's asking that either 1) you physically and emotionally exhaust yourself or 2) you forego some of junior's needs and potential for the sake of a new baby or 3) you forego some bonding time with newborn for the sake of junior's development. So I'm not going to suggest who it is that's being selfish here, but it's not mom. |
