[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous] I would be livid, because this was not discussed. 13 is the legal age for babysitting, but with a cast? And without the mother's consent? If my husband did this, he would be in trouble.[/quote] I really don't understand why some people think the cast is such a big deal. Is this (poor, sick) kid darting out in traffic? I also don't think a wife who says her husband would be in trouble (will he be grounded?) for this is thinking of her husband as an equal partner in the parenting. How can we expect fathers to step up and do their share when they are micromanaged in this way? [/quote] Oh, I assure you this is very much the norm. If you want to know why women are the "default" parent look no further than this. Women (most, not all) go ballistic when men make a decision they disagree with. [/quote]
