Whoah! You are one disturbed individual aren't you? Let's see... res <"Last night the baby had a bad fever and woke at 3am not able to sleep. So I took her to the cool bath and let mom rest." [I question the reason for the second sentence, and I wonder how many 'moms' would rather sleep when a small child has a fever severe enough to require a bath... but that's just crazy ole' me...] There is a difference between rest and sleep. But until you have children and have been through the half-awake sleep of your partner taking care of a crying babies needs. You may not be able to comprehend. In other words, you haven't a clue! The rest of your post is simply a disturbed mind broadcasting out her deep fears. (probably from a childhood trauma). Seriously, seek help Lorrie. I can't help you here. I'm not a professional therapist. Michael

Lorrie, I see nothing wrong with a father taking a bath with his daughter. I took baths with my daughter right up until she was eighteen years old. It was perfectly innocent, she washed my back and I washed her's. The doting father, Jim

Lorrie, the next time you have a fever give me a call, I'll jump in the tub with you. Do you like bubbles?

I wonder how many 'moms' would rather sleep when a small child has a fever severe enough to require a bath... Any mother who knows that her husband is as capable as she is of giving the child the care it needs, and realizes that in order to meet the continuing needs of that child, she has to take care of herself, which means getting some sleep. All sensible parents take shifts when caring for a sick child. It's the only way to do it, for practical reasons which non-parents may have a hard time understanding. I realize that this may be difficult for you to accept, but families exist where the father provides the majority of the childcare, and does a better job of it than the mother. The nurturing instinct is by no means exclusive to the female gender.

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.

Lorrie Congratulations Altho I think you missed the mark here I do believe that you smelled the rat that nobody else caught..... I don't think MC's problem is quite as serious as you do...... He just a bullster. We are all to believe what a caring sensitive man of the nineties he is...as he sat naked while bathing his child...Yeah right! I used to have a girl friend with an infant. Funny every time I saw her bathing her infant she was kneeling fully clothed outside the tub. And I doubt that bathing an infant with an infection in cool water is very wise I think MC was just trying to keep up with the Feelings theme......Even if he had to get out the boots and the shovel....Maybe he's writing a novel.... Taxes still makin me crazy...according to me broker in 99 I sold 11000 shares of cng but only bought 8500..#@%&><..phooey! Goin to work tomorrow...Need some relief.
