lorrie, when I responded to you earlier and when I suggested to JLA that you were expressing real concern, I was simply answering messages in my inbox. Had I read the thread in its entirety, my answers would have been different.

lorrie, you have not had children and you do not seem to have had a loving father so it may be beyond you to imagine a family in which both parents do the parenting. As I posted earlier, it was my father who walked the floor with me at night when I had colic. He was self-employed and had a bit more latitude than my mother, who also worked. He'd take over the walking when my mother was tired.

My father and mother shared parenting--a concept that seems alien to you from this posting--and it has made an enormous difference in my life. The trust and sense of security and love that I developed in moments such as Michael described enabled me to survive a savage rape and a marriage that turned physically abusive without bitterness toward men in general.

The spin you are putting on Michael's posting is disgusting, but it says more about you than it does about him. He has already stated that the baby has medical care so your cracks about health are gratuitous. He was talking about the profound emotional response he felt caring for his sick child; you have tried to turn it into something ugly.

Moreover, he shared it on a thread whose header--have you bothered to read it lately?--invites just such sharing. You are a relative newcomer to this thread, even more so than I. However, before joining this thread, I took the time to read much of its history and I joined it initially to express support for a person who was deeply worried about his child. It would not be wasted time to read the history of this thread before posting as you have here.
