We gave this past Saturday to Tim to play xbox all day (Civilization Revolution). I figured he deserved it; he never gets time to just do something for him. I did take advantage of Tim being home however and grabbed a short nap with Eleanor, during which Tim learned what moms everywhere know: you can never really have "time to yourself" when you have children.
Gillian kept pestering Tim for an apple to which Tim would reply, "Just a minute." (Gamers out there understand there is never really a good moment to stop.) Then James started in with "Could you get me some bread and butter please?" Tim just kept putting off their requests.
Concerned at being ignored, James came up to Tim and said in an earnest voice, "Timmy, you have to take care of us." He apparently decided the problem was that Tim just didn't understand the job requirements of the primary caregiver.

OK that is great! Men don't understand that being at home is not a day off or eaiser than work or school or whatever usually fills up their time. Thank heavens my husband isn't the only one. You are awesome Buffy.
That is great! I love it when kids say funny things like that!
ha ha, that is really quite cute.
This is so true! I had a similar experience yesterday, although I tried to go upstairs to take a nap and Kate kept coming up and talking to me about my facial features etc, and lying all over me...you know how it goes.
