Healing

Mrs M wasn't feeling the best this morning. It's to be expected sometimes given she's 20 weeks pregnant and looking after 2 lively kids. So I did the responsible modern Dad thing. I got the kids up, gave them their milk, changed the nappies, gave them their cereal and toast, had them watching TV, took the dog out, gave the dog her breakfast, pills and eye drops, ate my breakfast, shaved, showered, skimmed the paper, made a drink for Mrs M in bed while listening sympathetically to her ails, cleaned the girls' breakfast and faces, washed the dishes, dressed in my suit, took JC to school and got a kiss and a "You're not my friend, Daddy. I love you," for my trouble. I got on the bus feeling slightly smug about handling all of this with such aplomb.

Until it dawned on me Mrs M does it every day.
