Yeah, besides he forgot to mention you're not coming home if you ever have leisure time. Sheesh, when does he expect you to have dates. He must think he's talking about some boring prude that would prefer to be with family. No sir, none of that ever effected you. If it did you would be repeating or accelerating the cycle. Oh, wait a minute.

Michelle, Jay, Mrknowitall, and jbe: my paragraph beginning "let's be Michelle's children", was 1) totally hypothetical, since Michelle doesn't have any children, and 2) totally fiction, since I made it all up. It was a "senario" out of my head, based on what I could glean from Michelle's comments on motherhood, children, etc. Therefore, lighten up everyone. I don't owe anyone an apology, and I don't retract my post. You say my senario was "shocking", Michelle??? Bringing kids to daycare is "shocking"? Like I've told you before, Michelle, in a post which you declined to comment on, one of my nicest aunts single-handedly raised a son, and I really like both of them. Now all you guys have gone off the deep end, and jbe even says "shame". Jbe, get a grip. I didn't insult Michelle. Michelle herself, yes you Michelle, have stated that out of several combinations of raising a child without a man in the house, your preference would be some kind of arms-length relationship with the father. Now how did I insult anyone?

Speaking of hysterics kicking in, I guess I got sent to the back of the class on that one, re "Let's be Michelle's children". That paragraph was intended to be provocative, but more than that it was supposed to point the mind towards alternatives to the hypothetical senario. Now I have to ask, if my made-up senario was so terrible and insulting, then how does that "family values crappola" fit in here? I firmly believe that children, particularly when young, want and need attention and time from their parents. Nowdays that isn't always what happens, such as with your parents. That's neat that your mother was Dr. Shumway's head nurse, , and that's great that you don't resent it, but tell me: Given your druthers, would you rather have been near your mother more, when you were young? I'm not saying you should feel resentful now, but I'd bet you many times wish your mother would have been home with you instead of being on the road. I'm not asking you to admit or deny anything with respect to your real childhood: It's none of my business. But I believe, and will continue to believe, that small children are best served with parents who are there as much as possible for them.
