    So true. Constant vigilance... constant touch... constant prediction of the next need...

    I wish i had read this article 15 years ago when I was the only one amongst my friends to have a child...and felt the pressure.

    Thanks for posting that. I've just sent it to DH so he knows what we're getting ourselves in for It was a good insight for a (currently) childless woman into the lives of my friends with kids.

    GOLD! Thankfully my friends that don't have children yet wouldn't write a letter like that.

    Hilarious response!! Particularly love her closing line "...keep your snit to yourself!"

    I remember posting on facebook about spending an hour at the beach one arvo with dd - a childless friend posted "oh, wouldn't that be nice" - this same friend goes on holidays at least 3 times a year! The last 'holiday' we had was a weekend camping, and when you've still got to worry about sleeps, or safety, or food, or entertaining them, it isn't really a holiday! I don't think she gets that even doing something as relaxing as going to the beach, when you throw a toddler into the mix, its not relaxing!
