Much as I'd like to get beyond this topic, I would like to share an event from my children's childhood. Granted this occurred in the 1990's before we all had cellphones and were never out of reach. I went out for a Sunday afternoon at the theatre and left the 3 children in my husband's care. That meant that they were all ignored while he laid on the bed and watched football. There was an accident and my daughter fell and broke her arm. She could not move the arm at all after the fall and was in a lot of pain. What did my husband do?.......He made all the children take naps until I got home. When I got home my daughter told me that her arm hurt and I took her to the emergency room.
I would have preferred to have a husband like Mark who would take care of a crisis himself, rather than a man who would simply wait for me to take care of it. No point in discussing it though. To this day, my husband would argue that he did the right thing by making all the children take naps.
