For Better or For Worse by Lynn Johnston for March 10, 2009

Guilt trip, guilt trip, guilt trip!

like the tub soak last week, let mom relax a bit

The kids know who really takes care of them.

John’s troubles are just starting.

Yeah, this should be good.

I third Northwoodser!

now mom can get that relaxing tub soak but i’ll bet all she does is fret about her little ones

I’m looking forward to when we get to see her parents, now younger and more vital.

Double “MAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHH!” and also, “WAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHH!”

GEE1A says: I want my mommy! or if you’re from the U.K. mummy!

Mummy? Are you coming from anicent Eygpt? With old white shredding cloths wrapping around the shrinking dead body.

this is so true at my house..mommy this mommy that..= ) kinda makes daddy feel left out when the kids just want mommy.

I actually feel sorry for John. The kids’ll be crying for mom all week and he won’t do anything the way she does and they’ll be sure to tell him so.

John and Michael really hid their disappointment when Elly said she stocked the freezer with her super healthy homemade cooking. Now Daddy will have to throw out good food if the traditional ‘mom’s away vacation eating plan’ (pizza, fried chicken, fast food) can begin =D

take the kids to the folks… cabbie!

I those days it was expected that mom would work hard to leave a weeks worth of meals because she thought her husband and kids would starve if it was left up to dad to cook. Now…not so much. I actually cringed when she said that.

I’ll bet her guilt will get to her and she comes home early.

My mom always left a ton of meals - if she didn’t want us eating Kraft Dinner and pizza all week, she had to!

I never saw the original run, but I foresee Elly returning home to cleanup Armageddon.
