My darling, supportive boyfriend said the funniest thing. I'm not sure if this is the right place to post it, but here goes...
We were talking about plans later in the week with friends who just had a baby, and I mentioned we might want to wait to commit because DS had been to a holiday party with 10 other babies, many who are ususally in daycare, and if he gets sick from swapping spit and playing that later in the week we shouldn't bring him to be with a newborn. My boyfriend then rolled his eyes and groaned, "oh great if DS gets sick then I get sick too." I used this opportunity to point out to him that if he took better care of himself he woudn't get sick. DS has had 4 colds since birth, I have caught none of them, and I'm with him way more than my boyfriend who has caught all of them from him.
Then my boyfriend says, "Well you don't get sick because you're making all those anti-bodies." I just cocked my head to the side and asked, "Do you mean from my breastmilk?", he says "Yeah, you have added immunities."
um-huh? Men can be so cute in rationalizing not getting enough sleep and not eating well, can't they?
