Questions and beware the bunny March 4, 2007

Posted by spacemom in : In A Family Way , trackback

So, no offense to the males out there (hey! There are 2 that I know of who read this blog!). I asked about phone calls because my mother-in-law was upset that I only call my parents once a week or so. She has been told by her friends that daughters call 1 to 3 times a day. As she has no daughters, she can only believe this as truth.

Now I love my parents, otherwise, they would not be allowed to stay at my house on short notice. Or I would have kicked them out Friday…

But I can only call about once a week. That’s it. I email occasionally, but really, we call about once a week and that’s good.

I am trying to hang in here for my family visit. It has been frustrating and tomorrow I am home with my parents and the girls. Jay gets to sit still for 3 hours with an IV infusion. We are arguing over who will have it easier tomorrow.

So I leave you with The Bunny. Mom bought an Easter cake pan (although she swears it’s not really for easter) and we made the cake and frosted it with a nice ganache

Ah. In our house, those are called Hop Hops. And your Hop Hop has Lello eyes.

I call once every 3-4 weeks.

BK (before kids), I used to call about once a week or even once every 2 weeks. Now? Well shit, I’m so far in over my head that we probably talk every other day.

Awesome bunny cake, by the way. I think I need one of those pans.

This is a call to all male readers! Speak up! Don’t let us be overlooked! It’s bad enough to be called a mommy-blogger… now we don’t even get credit as readers!

Can I picket a blog? Maybe I should post a link on my blog and request people to comment here and claim that they are male?

(need. more. coffee. before. commenting.)

We talk on the phone only a couple of times a month, and she’s usually the one who calls me! We email maybe once a week in average, I’d say. I’m not much of a phone person, actually! I rarely call my friends either.

Great looking cake! Oh, and daughters should call their mothers at least twice a day-LOL.

Only once a week or so here too, any more gets too cumbersome with the time difference.

That cakes looks delicious - any chance of getting your ganache recipe? I’m not happy with mine.

Hah–once a week or every two weeks. You know, if they want to talk to you, they can always call, or at least, that’s my theory.

Of course from time to time I get a guilt trip, so I’m not always so calm about it–but really, they’re FAMILY, and you shouldn’t have to do maintenance calls for family.
