How a father leaves the house without the kids
1. Grab keys and wallet
2. Leaves

How a mother leaves the house without the kids
1. Make a list of what needs to happen during the time she is gone.
2. Fix dinner (or whatever meal), wash dishes, set the table
3. Change diapers
4. Ready children for bed
6. Leave note where going, time of return
7. Feel guilty as you drag yourself away with kids screaming as you leave
8. Receive three calls before you pull out of the driveway from the father with kids still screaming in the background
9. Return home to a disaster area with food, dishes, dirty diapers and Father watching TV

Fantastic post. It's funny because it's so TRUE! Esp. the guilt part. Why do we do that to ourselves?

Oh, Julia, never ask that question. Think it, yes, but don't say it out loud.
