Between the Lines Discussion

Hah!! Why not spouses? My mom's dead. My daughter thinks I'm a bitch. My son's clearly biased, but his answers might depend entirely on whether he's allowed to play video games that day. My spouse, on the other hand, loves me and can be entirely objective and honest at the same time - in other words, he won't inflate my ego, but he'll sustain it insofar as he can do so and maintain his own integrity. Oh, I know! I'll ask my father-in-law. Other than my dismal housekeeping skills, he thinks I'm pretty terrific.
