I agree with this. To avoid making too broad a starement, I'll just say that my wife and I have decided that for us and our family, our relationship comes first -- or at leads needs to. Keeping it that way can be a major struggle sometimes, especially when one of the kids has needs that require more attention and can become all-consuming. But aside from the question of what happens after the kids are gone, we feel that for us putting spouse first models a view marriage that we want our kids to have.

I find that the women who put kids over spouse are usually the ones who also put boyfriend over friends (as in completely dropped the friends when she got a boyfriend).

How have we gotten five pages into this thread without any of our highly-observant GCers not commenting on the typo on the site? This was the first thing I saw once I clicked 33's link:
Wecome to TheMommyCard.com
It's hard to take it seriously when the first line has such a glaring error. I didn't even really look at the site after seeing that.

I was actually kind of more aghast at the pet mommy cards than anything else.

We're so used to typos and craptastic writing skills all over GC that we don't notice them anymore?

Craptastic isn't a word.
Noticed THAT one!

I don't know about that. Urban Dictionary's definition ( #4, particularly) seems pretty accurate.
I figure, a group that can fill pages of posts with musings on rejectment, braverism and procrasterbating would have said something about THE FIRST WORD! on that site being misspeelleed. Maybe I'm expecting too much. (But in my defense, y'all so rarely let me down.)

Uh, if "buttload" is a recent inductee into the Oxford Dictionary, craptastic should already be there. If it's not, it's going in the next time they do new words.

Oh, I agree completely.
Craptastic shouldn't have to deal with any rejectment from Oxford.
