Moms aren't allowed to get sick.

[Congratulations]

I hate to tell you this, but mom's NEVER get to be sick(and act sick)
ever, ever. For the rest of your life.

I am suddenly thankful for my inability to give birth.

Just because you can't birth them doesn't mean you can't take care of them. There's an assumption here that only moms are fit for this task. I was the primary baby wrangler in our house for four years.

Weeks isn't BSing about school germs. They are little plague dogs. That's one of the reasons we went to a lot of trouble to avoid day care, and they have been primarily homeschooled. Consequently, my kids have only had antibiotics about four times in their lives, so when they get them, they work.

You mean you AREN'T planning on making a womb in your thigh and having a little Dionysos?

Ain't that the truth! Get used to it...

-A delighted, happy toddler is usually trailed by an exhausted or nearly so parent, usually a mom. I mentioned this my mother and she replied "-So you finally figured that out, eh?"
