[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I’m getting a laugh out of this “firsts” hissy fit.

My daughter took her first steps in my office where she was playing on the floor when I was working late on something. She then refused to do it again for weeks and weeks, home or childcare. Getting to see the firsts are a roll of the dice.

And again something I don’t see male parents told they should quit their jobs to witness…[/quote]

Who told you to quit your job?[/quote]

The “not missing out on milestones is priceless” poster comes to mind.

I imagine she’d put a price on it real quick if her husband told her he was quitting his job to not miss out on firsts.[/quote]

She quit her job because she didn’t want to miss out on milestones.  She didn’t tell you to quit your job.

Something can be priceless to one person and not matter as much to another person.  [/quote]

But it’s not “priceless” to her.

The price is her husbands salary.

If he wants those “priceless” memories they’ll be taking place in a homeless shelter.

The price is another person’s labor sufficient to cover you and all other dependents. Let’s not pretend it’s free.
