I have to agree with this and then also say that if the parent with these
traits isn't with you when you go to the dr., take them next time! lol. I
made a point to take my husband to my first son's checkups just so that the
pedi would remember both parents (me, short and fat, spouse, tall and
skinny - - well not as skinny as he used to be but you get the picture!).
Sometimes it helps to let them see both parents.
