We took Tim everywhere when he was a baby. When we did actually leave him
with a friend for a couple hours, to go to a church function, I think
probably 200 people that night asked us where the baby was.

It got to the point that my smart-ass husband started saying things like,
"Baby? Brenda! I thought you had the baby!!! Oh my gosh!". I've never
been so ready to kill someone, though I wasn't sure if I should go for him
or for the other people!

To this day, if I don't bring Tim someplace, people ask where he is. And I
do hire babysitters regularly when my husband is away, or I lose my mind.
At six, he now thinks the undivided attention of a teenager is pretty cool.
