For Better or For Worse by Lynn Johnston for March 18, 2009

He’s just a big ‘ole softie at heart - like most husbands are!

There are macho Canadians? Who knew? (“Oh, I’m a lumberjack and I’m OK…”)

Just kidding, all you little maple-leaf wavers up north.

As Jahosacat says, he’s a softie at heart; and, like most husbands, unable to restore order of children-generated chaos!

(My wife and I haven’t had children yet, but I’ll be upfront with admission anyway)

I can’t relate to this. When my husband’s not home, that bed is mine.

get a sleeping bag and sleep on the floor in the kids room and the soft breathing sounds will help you relax

carmy - sounds like it’s time for seperate beds now ;) j/k

bald - that’s a good idea … keep the kids company, and himself…

Spend a winter in Whitehorse and then tell us we’re not macho! :) Also, don’t forget we invented ice hockey. And the snowmobile. And basketball, for that matter!

VancouverRaven, Yeah you are right! We can be macho, and nice at the same time. Canada is an excellent country.

Howabout a variation of bald’s suggestion: John take a pillow and a sheet, fold the sheet in two (wrapping it around him) and sleep on floor in kids’ room.

(maybe my South-Asian out-of-box thinking, but…)

VancouverRaven, when, how, who invented basketball? It was invented by James Naismith at a YMCA in Massachusetts and perfected at the University of Kansas. Go, Jayhawks!

That’s really sweet John. Now will you admit to Elly that you got so soft hearted that you held her pillow all night? Nah I didn’t think so.

At least he didn’t get an inflatable doll.

My guy does the same thing when I’m not there.

Yep, you’re right James Naismith did invent basketball AND he was born in Almonte, Ontario which makes him Canadian. :o )

“VancouverRaven says:

Granted, but it 20 years to put a hole in the bottom of the basket and as for hockey, a sport where people knock each others teeth out, and oh yeah hit a puck in the mean time.

But you are macho…

(For the record, my Grandmother came from Nova Scotia.)

Hey y’all your comments are just perfectly fine! I enjoyed reading all of your comments. The strip of FBorFW is so hilariously funny! Supposedly if John sleeps in the kids’ room, don’t snore otherwise, the kids will wake up in the middle of night. :-/

That’s been me this week without my husband. Glad to know the other side sees things the same way. ;)

Macho man :P

yeah pschearer… even the women are macho…. lOL
