Since its debut in 1979, For Better or For Worse has touched comic strip readers as few cartoons ever do. Cartoonist Lynn Johnston’s eye for detail and her uncanny sense of what real parents and children struggle with daily are a big part of her success. The world has watched the Patterson family grow up in real time, and to many readers, the Pattersons feel like family!
Parents and children alike will relate to the obstacles that the Patterson family faces. Curfews, parent date nights, babysitting, pets and distractions are all hurdles that the Pattersons must overcome in order to enjoy each other as a family. They face the same obstacles that real life families do, which is what makes them so loveable.

Men aren’t human. Right.

Men are human. We just don’t view events or other things the same as women, who puzzle us equally.

Adult non-family human contact.

Nothing wrong with coffee with the girls. Instant shot of sanity.

Wasting time is a high calling. Some of my best memories are the thoroughly wasted moments - and I look forward to much more “wasted” time.

I know if I were stuck at home with two preschool kids all day I’d want an hour or so with my friends too.

BELIEVE ME I spent last summer taking care of a 5y/o, 3y/o and 15 month old while their mother was ill with a terminal disease. UUGGH what I would give for a few minutes away…..Women are social creatures and we need contact to help us through the demands of childhood babble and events. Now my poor daughter in law is better and I am not needed as much but she is going nuts —we need our ” girl time” it is not wasted time guys.

We love our men, but they see things differently and don’t talk to us.

Hug her more, doofus!

Oh Elly, you seem so desperate… I’m worried about you!

John, Michael, and Liz aren’t human? Time to send Elly packing to the loony bin before she accuses Farley of being a spy for the government…..

It is a very rare person who spends all of their time with small children and doesn’t mind it. You need a break - someone who can talk to you at YOUR level.
If John thinks it’s a waste of time, maybe he should try to stay with the kids for, say, a week, with NO outside visits. He might learn something.

cozygirl… I appreciate your sympathetic heart, but, dear, Elly is a cartoon character. ;)
