    One and done because my partner will never carry the same mental and physical load when it comes to taking care of this child

    She just turned 4…

    @chamtt Ha! I had the opposite. The day she turned 4 and we were on the way to her favorite restaurant she had an absolute meltdown because I took her out of her car seat instead of her dad. Like lying down on the sidewalk screaming while people passed us with a wide berth. Now that she’s 4.5...
