I think the issue of a father not being an experienced or skilled caregiver is something that every dad must face now and its something most daddy-blogs touch on at least once. Are there things that Denver Mom can do for Chunk that I can't? Sure. But, it goes the other way, too. A lot of people don't seem to get that. <B>Parents</B> are important, not just moms, not just dads. We should all be doing our part.<BR/><BR/>Mom-101... It's crazy what people will say to you. I don't even know what they're thinking. Is that supposed to be funny? It's not.<BR/><BR/>And, for the record, I would never call any of the mommy bloggers I read helpless or stupid. Reading what you all have to say is proof enough that you, as a group, are neither. I just thought "sexy" went without saying, though. :)<BR/><BR/>s@bd... GREAT! We need more moms and wives like you! Thanks for taking the time to drop in, read, and comment. It's appreciated!Denver Dadhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16658973022353051249noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-24080043.post-1152970822021706382006-07-15T07:40:00.000-06:002006-07-15T07:40:00.000-06:00Just for the record: my husband is an excellent c...Just for the record: my husband is an excellent caregiver AND I KNOW ITsc@vphttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07158982874278500904noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-24080043.post-1152923752449321862006-07-14T18:35:00.000-06:002006-07-14T18:35:00.000-06:00That comment would have upset me too.

Why that baby of yours wont' even recognize you when you get home." It was crushing. <BR/><BR/>By the way, we'd be mad if you called us helpless and stupid, but sexy and helpless and stupid, that would be okay.Mom101https://www.blogger.com/profile/15468524489744839899noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-24080043.post-1152920032823734962006-07-14T17:33:00.000-06:002006-07-14T17:33:00.000-06:00p.s.
