Did I miss an announcement?

Dear me, we went to bed too early and I missed all the replies!

There was no major annoucenement, although I mentioned it in a few posts. There has been no birth of yet, but we're expecting a son in February, which is particularly nice when there were fears that it might not have been possible for us.

Mind you, maybe it was nature telling us "you're going to LONDON stupid!" ;-)

Good: I didn't miss anything! How is your lovely wife doing?

Well, she appears to have eaten a football (the one that Henry handled, in order to destroy the evidence) but somehow it seems not to hurt her much.

I think she is looking forward to her 6 (probably it will be 7 actually) months of maternity leave, starting on 12th January. Not because she can't cope though: she's still walking to the office most days, she's having a very smooth pregnancy.
Although we have a very bad-mannered son who kicks women (well, a woman at least) many times a day, with increasing force. Whatever happened to chivalry?

I think teaching him chivalry is probably your job. It doesn't appear to come pre-installed.

Isn't Chivalry a way to tame unruly males without spoiling their fightworthiness?

Possibly, but we are talking about fighting a 1,6m tall, pregnant woman, not the scariest of prospects. Surely fightworthiness could be better used -and surely that's not tamed enough.

I don't know. They fight mean.
