Lament of the Stay At Home Parent

David returned to work today, after many days of family togetherness. The boys are missing him. "Mommy?" said Cameron. "I love you. A lot. Like this much." He stretched his hands apart. "And I love Daddy this much." He stretched his hands a few millimeters farther.

"You had a lot of fun with Daddy, huh?" I replied. "It's okay to love him just a little more than me!"

"Yeah," said Cameron. "Just a little more than you. But I like him WAY more than you."

Sigh . . . why does the stay-at-home parent never get to be the fun parent?
