Stone Soup by Jan Eliot for October 19, 2012

Yup! – it (family life) supposedly builds character – whatever that means!!

I wonder if ‘Phil’ is starting to question his relationshiip with Joan?

In this case, the kids are brats and the mom is clueless about how to handle it. It’s not always like that.

Um, how is a crying baby a brat? She’s upset, and she doesn’t know from brat. And what’s Alix supposed to do? Seems she’s doing the best she can. I won’t get into Max or Holly, but I do know that even the best moms can’t always handle everything.

Memo to Jan… keep the F a little further away from the USSY next time… bad optical effect in a reduced size.

@RoadTrip3500: Looked like a different letter to me, too.

Not THIS single people, Phil.

It’s worth it for all of those “cute moments” that you get along the way… this is just the painful torture to balance it out. ;-)

Phils relationship is with Valerie – not Joan. Val & Phil are babysitting Joan’s kids.

It’s amazing what most guys will go through to be with a woman. It makes spending money on a “professional” seem cheap by comparison.

It only gets that bad when you have kids. If just the two of you, no problem.

It kind of makes being single look pretty good.
