Poor Dad

[Madre]

As a mother of five, I'd like to think my "labors" do not go unappreciated. However, one evening as I was preparing dinner, my 13-year-old son told me about a movie he'd seen in health class of a woman giving birth, and how painful and scary the whole thing looked. Just as I was thinking maybe now he'll have a little more empathy for me, he said, "I feel sorry for Dad having to watch that five times."

Okay. I SO totally get that attitude! Life with five men has been an eye opener. I let go of such expectations a LONG ago. Thanks for the laugh! :lol: [rofl]

lol, that's funny. But I did feel bad for Adam when Tammy had her baby a few days ago. The poor guy was so worried, and crying. It must be hard to watch and not be able to do much.

Very funny! I actually think I replied to this one on the other board... oh well.

that's too funny. but I'm with Leslie, life with ALL testosterone bearing beasts is a REAL eyeopener. (not that my boys and beasts, but at the dinner table, you wouldn't argue it, LOL)
