The problem I have with today's strip

[dreadedcandiru2]

All that whimpering little asswipe is doing is whining that for some reason, people say he's a bully picking on someone defenseless.

Brothers fight viciously.

[chocolate_frapp]

yup. I've seen them show no mercy.

[dreadedcandiru2]

And you can freaking forget sympathy. To an older brother, sympathy is a word between s*** and syphilis.

[chocolate_frapp]

and little brothers fight really dirty.

Right off the message is that Elizabeth is out of shape for carrying children around. I know my wife lamented when our kids hit the point where she no longer had the strength to lift and carry the kids around. I did it for as long as I could and then when son got to 100 pounds I pulled my back trying to carry him and I knew those days were done.

I wonder if she ever was in shape for carrying small children around. If so, that's something she's got in common with her mother. That is of course me wondering if a woman is in shape to be around kids.

Carrying around kids. That’s what grandparents are for.

[dreadedcandiru2]

It's hard to see what a mother is for in her world.

[howtheduck]

To ignore parenting for as long as possible and then take it when you realize your daughter-in-law is incompetent.

[dreadedcandiru2]

And secretly take joy because at last, you're needed and cannot be replaced.

Well, there is always Fiona Brass.
