A week after my son was born, we went to his first baby check. It was a group thing, to be supportive and non-judgemental.

The other moms were amazed I had already left the house without junior, leaving him with his dad. Heck yeah, I did! I just lost a million pounds by giving birth and was going to revel in a walk that didn't waddle.

It never occurred to me that I was supposed to act like a single parent in a two-parent home.
