As a SAHM, I *felt* this statement like a slap on the face:
"Sorry, but you're responsible for the kids during the day so suck it up and write at night"
I'm a mostly-SAH-Dad, and I suck it up and I write at night.
SP,
I think the biggest issue was the phrase "suck it up" - perfectly normal and acceptable for a conversation between one (former military) DAM to another (former military) DAM, but probably not when interpreted as a potential phrase for use with ones W.
