In my situation, I told my wife I would support her but I would never lay my hands on a child and I have chosen to live by that decision. I know it won’t appeal to everyone but it suits me. Besides, I like to be seen as the good guy.
Most firstborn seem to have a harder time of it. I was the last born and I always get ribbed about getting away with things. Not quite so. I think it was because my parents were older when I came along and more tired.
I was going out this morning early but there’s a real gale going on outside so we’ve all decided to give it a miss today. Which gives me the opportunity to reply to your interesting post here this morning.
