Parent expert and exhausted Strollerderby mom Redsy has some great advice for your marriage and life: have a threesome.
Stop, stop. Not like that. OK, fine like that, too, if you want. But she's talking about a threesome that happens in the kitchen. And living room. During playdates. Maybe even at night when you're gone.
Let me start over: the threesome she imagines in her latest Rugrat Reprive column is a G-rated one. Basically, another adult to up the grown-up to kid ratio. One who cooks, cleans, tells interesting stories. Someone -- anyone -- who can make the often isolated world of day-to-day family life a little easier, a little less hectic, a little less nuclear.
From Imperfect Parent:
Families today tend to be closed systems – with fewer extended family
members around and more fear of neighborhood child molesters.
I think having another parent / adult-type in the mix is the perfect method for bringing in some outside air.
Enter: Trevor. Her Rhode Island friend's extra set of grown-up hands.
Would you ever consider having a Trevor of your own?
