In Remembrance Of Halleys Past "People without kids won't get this, I'm afraid, but believe me, the responsibility of a child is all-encompassing." Halley was talking the other day about having some time to herself without the kids and mentioned, referring to her son, how "there is no greater luxury than waking up knowing he is fine, but with his other parent". One of the things that I miss now is that "luxury" of some time off, some relief from the all-encompassing responsibility. I don't get much opportunity for that anymore. It's not that I worry about how well all my moms will take care of the girls, it's just that all-encompassing feeling that I think only parents truly know, and the lack of an other parent to share the responsibility with. With all the other chores and responsibilities we shared, that I have had to take on myself and delegate to my moms, the thing that wears me down the most right now is not having someone to hand that responsibility to every now and then. 7:34:05 PM
