Chris: I wasn't talking about eliminating your children. I was talking about doing a better job of balancing the amount of attention you give to them with that which you give your mate.
I remember in my 1st marriage that a couple of times I would delegate my parenting duties by popping in a copy of "Dumbo" and leaving my son in front of the tv with a big sippy cup of milk and a pile of pretzels. About the time Dumbo and his mom were together again, I would be finishing up "being irrational" with my mate and we could attend to his needs again.
I like the sound of that: Come on baby, let's get irrational together!
