My Husband Told Me to “Handle It Yourself” While I Was in Labor So He Could Stay at His Mother’s Birthday—Then I Made One Phone Call
If Liam someday has a child, I hope I will remember that.
I hope I do not become Bernice.
Do not demand priority to prove love.
Do not make a son or daughter choose between spouse and parent to soothe my insecurity.
If they call and say:
The baby is coming.
I know exactly what I will say.
Go.
