Dear Doctors: I had a bad reaction to the barbs of a prickly pear cactus.
DEAR HARRIETTE: My husband and I are in a standoff right now regarding children. We already have three kids, but he wants one more. I told him that I don’t have the physical or mental capacity to take care of another child. My body has already gone through so much from my first three births; I can’t imagine having another child, especially now that I’m almost in my 40s. Not only that, but a lot of the care of the children falls on me, even with me working full time. My husband does help, but he doesn’t shoulder the same responsibilities as me when it comes to our children. I am the one scheduling doctor appointments, keeping track of school events, arranging childcare, buying clothes when the kids outgrow them and making sure everyone’s needs are met. When one of the children is sick, I am usually the one taking time off work.
