That works. Just make sure you don't show up at the hospital without car keys. How will the kid drive home otherwise?

Absolutely.

When ex and I were raising these two, my parents and in-laws were never in our faces about how to raise kids. I'm thankful for that too. Based on that experience, long ago I decided to be 'advice-free.'

I decided I'd do my 'advice' by telling the stories about funny and weird things that happened when we were growing our kids...they can take that data and can do with it whatever they want...within reason
