Peter Hartlaub at the Poop has a great post on the shakedown of competency when the going gets tough for parents. While I bet most couples would say they share the parental responsibilities equally one way or another, there's always that crisis moment--like two flu-struck kids projectile vomiting all over the place--when it becomes clear that one parent could have a very successful solo career while the other one might want to have car racing as a fallback option.
Thus the question: Are you the Andrew Ridgely parent? Or is your partner? Many of the commenters felt that each half of their union had George Michael moments (and by that I am not implying that anyone was arrested for sex in a public restroom, ahem.) A few single parents weighed in and claimed that they were probably Prince, doing every single thing on the album. As an amicably-divorcing mom, I'd say both my kid's dad and I probably saw ourselves as the George Michael, but more likely we were each just one half Milli Vanilli or something.
What about you? Feel free to come up with a band that best characterizes your parenting unit, or lack thereof. Oh c'mon, it's fun...
