To all of you! @swirling—yeah, these women have 6 kids apiece—and not a one of them has killed another, to my knowledge—so I know exactly how you felt! Oh, exactly! To all of you!

Funny, I have a neighbor who is ten years older than me and has five (FIVE) kids, from eight to college age. And she amazes me . . . she's always so collected and calm, and her kids are wonderful. But when I got to know her, she told me she was always gazing wistfully over the fence thinking about what it must be like to be me, with no kids (at the time), devoting myself to writing. So funny how the grass can be so green on the other side, until you get together and look closer and see that all of it has some brown patches. ;-) So true!

This is one of the things my husband doesn't understand. Sometimes he doesn't like me to tell "our business", usually about something that we're struggling with. I think for men it shows weakness, but for women it's a way to bond. I completely agree. This is one of the things my husband doesn’t understand.

Nothing like a little reality to cement a friendship. And you sound like a rare one... Your little one is lucky to have such a thoughtful mommy! I agree!
