Once with twins suffering from Twin to Twin Transfusion Syndrome, to the lesser problems of severe morning sickness. He sounds merciless.<!--more--><\/p>\n<p>Bruce\u2019s asides to Anderson\u2019s words are in italics.<\/p>\n<blockquote><p>Raising children and keeping house is a lot of work, and a lot of ladies are getting burned out because they are doing too much <em>[yeah, because they have nine children]<\/em>. They are struggling with the demands of running a household <em>[because their husbands don\u2019t do their part?]<\/em> when they could be delegating a lot of it, and I don\u2019t mean they should be delegating it to their husbands. If my wife asks me to do something like take out the trash <em>[how dare she!]<\/em>, I tell<em> [ask?]<\/em> her to have one of the kids do it. I didn\u2019t sire <em>[what a stud]<\/em> nine children, so I could take out the trash or pick up after the family dog. I did my time shoveling dung and mowing the lawn. It\u2019s not that I\u2019m lazy. I just want to do other more important work<em> [that\u2019s not women\u2019s work]<\/em>. Not only that, but children need to get used to working.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<hr>\n<p><em>Stay in touch!
