Re: Loving your DH more than your children: Interesting Arti
When I read the article, mostly I thought how selfish to write that sort of article. No doubt the kids will one day read that, or the kids friends. I can't imagine what a flock of 13 year old girls would think of that...
I don't have a kid yet so I can't say what I'd do in the water buffalo scenario. I do know that DH would choose to save me over my unborn child (I'm 15 weeks pregnant). And maybe it makes me a bad mother, but I'd choose to save myself as well. I really like my life, and I can have another kid. Or adopt or be happy being childless. But I don't know how that will change once the kid is actually born. Or maybe I'll even feel differently further along in my pregnancy.
However, I'm pretty sure DH would throw himself in front of the water buffalo to save me, and vice versa.
