That’s exactly what I’ve been doing. I’m better than any baby monitor.

[And she can’t deny treatment to anyone. That would be wholly unethical — and against every fibre of her being.]

I would need to talk to Oswin.

[ghostcondensate]

You do realize the purpose of a baby monitor is so mom can get some actual reset, right? So, no. Not exactly. Also, do you somehow think me suddenly incapable of taking care of a child?

So talk to her.

[badgirlshenanigans]

I get rest! Sasha is good about going down for his naps.

And you know I wasn’t saying that. You’re a wonderful dad, but we disagree about my being away from him.

I will.

[ghostcondensate]

Napping when he naps on a cot in his nursery is not the same thing.

[badgirlshenanigans]

It’s still rest, and that way I’m close if he needs me.

[ghostcondensate]

It's literally not necessary.

[badgirlshenanigans]

How can you possibly be sure of that? He’s happy with how things are. He’s easy-going and now you what, want me to change his entire routine?

[ghostcondensate]

Not his entire routine. But you realize at some point, we're going to HAVE to, right?

[badgirlshenanigans]

Why do we have to, when he’s happy?

[ghostcondensate]

I don't know if you remember this, but some kids don't want to sleep in the same room as their parents once they hit school age.

[badgirlshenanigans]

He’s two months old! His schooling is years away.

Why are you so obsessed about my being separated from my son?

[ghostcondensate]

Why are you so obsessed with being by his side 24/7 with no breaks for sanity?

[badgirlshenanigans]

Because I’m his mother? And he’s not driving me insane. He makes me happy.

[ghostcondensate]

Good. He should. But you also have to do other things.

[badgirlshenanigans]

What do I have to do that’s even remotely as important as him?

[ghostcondensate]

Really?

[badgirlshenanigans]

What is that supposed to mean?

[ghostcondensate]

It means you're being obtuse. How about taking care of your own needs as well?

[badgirlshenanigans]

I am! I sleep, when he does, and just because I eat at weird times isn’t all that abnormal.

[ghostcondensate]

And how long do you think you can keep that up?

[badgirlshenanigans]

As long as he needs me to.

[That would be as long as he lives at home, right?]

You make it sound like a chore.

[ghostcondensate]

So, when Sasha is eighteen, you're going to sleep in his room and what. Follow him around to all his classes?

[badgirlshenanigans]

He’s a baby! Quit talking about when he’ll leave!

[ghostcondensate]

...leave and go where?

[badgirlshenanigans]

School? A life?

How often do I see my parents? They don’t even know they’re grandparents!
