I was hoping some of that had changed by now, Raq. That's more or less a variant of what I went through in the Navy as a single parent. Women weren't expected to take any time off for sick kids, but men who were single parents got all the sympathy and time off they wanted. As if single parenting is supposed to be easier for women than for men. Geez. My current boss stays home with his son more than his wife does and I think that is super cool.
You'll fight, and you'll shag, and you'll hate each other till it makes you quiver, but you'll never be friends.

Trust my rage
Oh, I know!
(oh, good. I live in fear of being misunderstood on the internet.)
Poor Ellie is so tired of this stupid laptop. I usually try not to use it too much during the day, esp. b.org, but today I cna't help getting up to check every few minutes.
Raq, I'm glad you are feeling better and I hope improves soon. It sucks so much when you are both sick at the same time.

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.
WHERE'S OUR ZMAYBABY?!?!?
We really should have the delivery on webcam....

As someone who pushed for 3 hours with baby number one, give that JZ gal a break, already, impatient people!

As someone who pushed for 3 hours with baby number one
::shudder:: In spite of being in labor for 24 hours with Owen, only an hour of that was pushing. I'm sure poor JZ is exhausted. I hope she managed to get a little sleep last night.

Days shrink and grow cold, sunlight through leaves is my song. Winter is long.
Raq, may the rest of the DeathFlu recede ASAP--yours before Mal's, poor boy.
Aimee, you are a darling, and you made me all teary, too.
Come on, Matilda, Daddy wants to waltz with you today! The rest of us want to greet you and welcome you to the world!
New babies are exciting--this is not punctuation abuse.
