"In 1978, I had our first baby, and was released from the hospital (barely able to sit, stand or walk) on the second day. It was 8:00 pm. Newborn was screaming in his car seat; I was in tears. Husband said "what do you have planned for dinner?" I said: "Divorce."

"After tendon surgery, instructions were, rest the hand till it healed, don't get it wet, etc. Two days later, there I was, caring for my five year old, loading dishwasher, walking dog, cooking, etc. He just could not step up when needed. Also took my pain meds for his boyfriend."

@jenniferholton said:
