I had never come across your blog before now. As for the football vs. kids… no lies or magic here, I think it comes down to moderation. When you can choose at any time to watch some football, it stays in favor, whereas your kids have needs from you no matter what time of day (or middle of the night) and no matter what is is that you are choosing to do at that time. It has nothing to do with love, and everything to do with choice. The opportunities where parents have the choice do do whatever they want at that time tend to be rare and therefore the relieved statements you tend to hear. You may say that you choose to watch football ALWAYS, but it is ALWAYS your choice. Can’t say that about parenting, because sometimes… love ‘em or not… you just gotta do something that you do not want to do. The spending time with them is awesome. It’s the spending sleepless effort to clean up a child that just wet the bed for the umpteenth time that most would rather avoid. ;)

hope that clears some of it up.

now seeing as my place of employment is mentioned in your previous blog, and it is getting late… I think I will save my comment to that for another day (or late night when my kiddies are tucked away in bed).

hehe… one of them just came in to join our bed. cute how she curls up like a cat on mommy’s pillow. at least she’s dry. ;)
