jmafofo Well while I agree with comments that we are rewarded daily by the looks on our kids' faces and their smiles and that mothers have it tougher, the honest truth is that it is hard work. That is why some 'fathers' decide to be non-resident parents (through...

jmafofo I am not so sure about mentioning it to the doctor. Well may be doctors are different, if you go for counselling they always start by asking whether you were illtreated as a kid, or whether your dog died or something like that. Things get blown out of...
