Okay, so I know I've touched on this subject before but I just get the biggest kick out of it. As I have mentioned, one of the books Cortney has gives the father a "Daddy tip" every week. For the past three or so weeks I have been completely dumbfounded by these tips. A few weeks back it said that if you were going to be out of town be sure and call your wife at least once a day to make sure she is doing alright. WHAT?!?!?! So if she were not pregnant I would go out of town and just talk to her when I got back? This isn't the 1800's. It is pretty easy to communicate from long distances. I don't need to send a telegram. So this raises the question: Are there husbands out there that would go out of town and not call their wives everyday? Come on...seriously? I started dating Cortney about 9 years ago and I don't think there has been a single day that we have not talked to each other at least once. And that includes two years of long distance dating and about 5 months of long distance while we were married.
So the very next week the daddy tip says if you are out of town (why are you always out of town?) and you can't talk to her make sure a family member or friend stops by to check on her. So I guess in this scenario you have absolutely no possible way to get in touch with your wife. Hmmmm. So how is that you were able to contact your buddy to tell him/her to check on her? And now you totally got off the hook from last weeks tip.
Who in the world are these tips geared toward? Who is the target audience here? Are these couples even married??? Sometimes I think not. The Daddy tips should be prefaced...if you know who the daddy is, let him know this....

Maybe these books are assuming you are cheating on your preggo wife. Why else would you have no way of getting in touch with her, but have time to contact your friend? you raise a good question there, Jason.
