I've been at a Healthy Start conference in Orlando the past two days.  Had
dinner with one of the FL LC speakers.  She was having a similar rant as
Linda's.  She had a dad call and played telephone tag for a period.  When
they finally connected, he want info about the prenatal breastfeeding class.
None of the class times were suitable to his and his wives schedule.  They
are both very busy attorneys.  He wanted to know if she could do a Saturday
class just for them.  She explained that wasn't possible as she spent
weekends with her children.  He continued with question about needing to know
how his wife could pump and get back to work and how important their work was
and that they would be hiring a nanny for the baby.  She finally just came
out and said to him "it doesn't sound like you have time to be parents, you
should have thought about these things before making a baby."  Sometimes,
it's hard to hold back and not just let them have the plain truth.
