Ok.....Im a total hypocrite. I have broken down and held mine prior to the week off as well. I suck ....I know.....I tell others not too but I have. At least I am fessing up.
I can also say that we were so worried about the new baby being so small...we did offer her a meal 3 days after moving in with us. She took it so no harm no foul.
One thing that I do NOT skimp on is waiting 48 hours after they eat. I am a total stickler on that one.
