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.

Well, Anne has kids too, so it should feel like home! Totally normal for someone with kids.

Provided I wasn’t over for a dinner party, this wouldn’t bother me at all! In fact, I’d find it refreshingly honest.
How do you get needles out of a cushion anyway? I bet some get mostly pushed in and you don’t find them till the cushion is squished down…

I dimly remember an infomercial for some kind of magnetic device that is supposed to pick up pins and needles easily.
Can’t remember the name; I really don’t pay attention to infomercials.

Lynn’s Notes:
There was a time I’d go into a house like this — where the people took scattered toys, dog hair, and mangled furniture for granted. I’d step over Tinker Toys and half eaten sandwiches wondering how in the world they could live like that! I’d see crusts on tabletops and a sink full of dishes, and I’d think to myself, “How can she stand to live in a house that isn’t clean, tidy, and well organized?!!” … Then I had kids.

Anne’s house is probably the same only worse!

A very wise mother once commented, “You don’t really appreciate, understand or even like kids until you have one of your own”.

I child-proofed my house — but they still get in!

and she told me to sit anywhere.
So I looked around
and I noticed there wasn’t a chair.” – Norwegian Wood

As the old saying goes, “No house with children, pets, or bachelors stays clean for long!”
