Do you think she kept her kid home on Monday to reconnect with her or because she missed her? Nope.
I don't understand these men. I would lose all physical attraction for my husband if he turned out to be such a dependopotamus (barring paralysis/TBI). What do they get out of it? Why are they willing to pull all the weight and pay someone else to take care of their kids?
