Telling moms

My friend R made a very good point yesterday. I was talking about how I hoped moms (pregnant soon-to-be moms, brand new moms, moms with many mouths to feed, etc.) would enjoy the book and really see the utility of it. "Of course they will," R said. "Not only are moms worrying about keeping themselves moving, but they're the mayors of the home who oversee and worry about the regularity status of everyone else under their roofs. How many dads can tell you the poo status of each of their children? How many can say the number of times Junior has 'made' today or this week? Did Junior struggle? How many days has it been since his last b.m.? That's something moms are always thinkin' about. Obsessing about, might be more accurate. Personally I can't wait for the day that it's not on my mind, but for now -- with my kids -- it is." R's right, of course.
