I f I was having trouble with the ol lady ( Which hasn't ever come to that yet) this would be the last place i would go to for advice, I would keep that for a relative or a close friend.

Who's having a problem?

Well, we went to the doctor today. !st of all, thanks for all the comments. Some were constructive while others were just ............ My wife is only 17 weeks pregnant and is far from ever being lazy. As soon as she confirmed she was pregnant though, I noticed a change in her activity. Her activity level went way down. I didn't know if it was her trying to baby herself or what. The doctor said today that her placinta (sp) is in a lower position than it should be and can be painful. In most cases it fixes itself towards the end of the pregnancy but if not, then it could be dangerous. Anyway, the doctor said the most strenuous exercise she can do right now is a mild walk. That's all I needed to hear. I will now be taking over her chores until further notice. I better not even catch her folding a towel. Oh yea, the doctor also said we were having another professional fisherMAN in the family.      

Congratulations with the pending addition of your little fisherMAN! Hopefully your wife's doctor is right and the placental position rights itself. The best you can do for her right now, is be there for her and try to make her as comfortable as possible. I apologize if I offended you in any of my previous posts. I was simply offering my OPINION on the matter with the information that had been provided. No harm or offense intended.   Good luck with the rest of the pregnancy, and may it be a healthy and uneventful one!

In the midst of the hijack, I forgot to respond to this...  

Congrats on the baby boy!!!!  Excited for you.  I hope your wife's pain is short lived. (and glad to hear that you are going to pick up extra chores)    Hope that comment doesn't upset too many people.  ...lol  

Best,

All I can say is UGH.

I never expected this to be a place where enemies were formed and certainly not by folks whom I respect.  FROM BOTH SIDES

How about a group hug?  Forgive and accept?  Out of the question?

Let's just go fishin'.........I hate seeing friends go at it.  Especially fishing friends going at it over something like "marriage"  

It's a different thing to every married couple out there, take it for what it is to you and move on.

Fletch - your response did nothing to alleviate the situation.  I expect better from you.  >

Flechero,

PM sent

PM's are good right about now.  

Bassn_Blvd,

 I am excited for you and your wife. Boys are great fun. I have two of them and one more on the way. They love the outdoors as much as I do. Have fun being a dad.

Thanks for the gut check, Preach, it's warranted and needed.... I appreciate the response. You are absolutely right, none of this should have been public.

You'd make someone an awesome accountability partner.

Thanks,

Keith

And just for the record, there's a few things the mods are doing behind the scenes regarding this situation and the parties involved.  It may seem on the surface not much is happening, but trust that there is. No need to bring it out in public.  

Just wanted ya'll know everyone is being held accountable - no favorites.

Bassn Blvd congrats on your little fisherman.Best wishes and happiness for your family.

Take care of your wife and kid.

Thank you guys, and gals, for all the support.   I can't wait to buy him his 1st fishing rod.  Does Loomis and Shimano make one small and lite enough for an infant?
