Quote: I think I am willing to let the nursing thing go and not fight it now. However, I will be making it clear that we will NOT be substituting another excuse when the nursing is over (barring of course some major health problem).
From one wimpy nerd to another, I gotta tell you I think this way of thinking is a big mistake. You are like the old west sheriff who is cowering in his office telling himself that he'll shine up his badge and make a stand someday, but just not now while the bad*ss Lactation Gang is still riding through town. If you don't fight this gang, there will just be a different one to fight later on and in the meantime things can only get worse.
Do you think that your wife would feel better or worse about you going to your conferences if she had managed to break through her LD breastfeeding hang-up and give you a lot of good loving before you take off? Why didn't you do whatever was necessary to make this happen?
