Experimental Wife replied to Rob Dyson's discussion Mother's Day"My father-in-law always says it is a parent's job to make himself obsolete. I think his saying applies for Mother's Day, too. A man's first responsibility on Mother's Day is his own mother. But, in addition to setting a good…"
Rob Dyson replied to Rob Dyson's discussion Kindred Blog"Yeah, plus - even though widespread popularity is not likely - I don't think the real manpower would probably appreciate my using their name."
Rob Dyson replied to Rob Dyson's discussion Mother's Day"Guys (and gal), thanks for your input on this. I tend to agree with giving my wife the biggest share of attention on Mother's Day. She is the primary relationship. She is the most important mother in my life. I live with…"
David F. replied to Rob Dyson's discussion Mother's Day"Your mother gets a card, your wife gets jewlery or whatever. You are in a two person team with your wife, not your mother.

Will replied to Rob Dyson's discussion Kindred Blog"Might want to change its name. I tried googling it and as you might imagine, manpower is a common search term. Even "manpower blog" didn't get me there, at least not on p. 1."
Will replied to Rob Dyson's discussion Mother's Day"I help my boys honor their mother on the Day -- which at their age means I do everything.
Later, they can make their cards or whatever, and I'll just take everybody to eat."
Rob Dyson replied to Rob Dyson's discussion Kindred Blog"Great! Thanks. I don't make any money off the blog, I just wanted a forum to discuss issues. It looks like this site may be a lot better for that due to the large number of members."
Will replied to Rob Dyson's discussion Kindred Blog"I visited today, based on your ref to the Benefit of Pain. Will be thinking about this."

Carl Monster replied to Rob Dyson's discussion Mother's Day"We do what we do other holidays...mornings are for us, the family. I draw the line there, and still have to enforce that, even with my mother, from time to time. My wife gets breakfast in bed. I chip in with the kids.
After lunch,…"
Allen replied to Rob Dyson's discussion Mother's Day"I think it was always done differently in my family because of the sheer numbers involved. My dad is one of five kids, both of his parents had massive numbers of siblings as well. All of my aunts and uncles have no less than three kids of their own.…"
