But paper for examining rooms. Good idea about making and bringing my own!</p>tag:blog.limedaley.com,2018:/isso/52/1822004-10-22T18:49:28ZSursumCorda<p>I just had a great idea! Those gowns used to be made of cloth. They still were a pain, but not as bad as the paper ones. You're a clever and inventive seamstress; why don't you design and make a comfortable, cloth gown that would both facilitate the examination and preserve modesty? Then you could bring it with you whenever you go to the doctor. You could even design it to facilitate nursing. I see a potential home business here....</p>tag:blog.limedaley.com,2018:/isso/52/1812004-10-22T15:00:06ZSursumCorda<p>Don't let the world discourage you from taking your children with you as much as possible! Nothing is better for their &quot;socialization&quot; than interacting with the world in your presence, and observing how you interact with others. It will get easier when you have older children who have learned the discipline of sitting quietly, and who can entertain a baby, so you don't have to depend on kindly nurses.</p> <p>As for boycotting female doctors who you think should be home with their children...I wouldn't. You know I'm a great believer in liberty. If I don't want childrearing choices forced on me, I'd better not be trying to impose my choices on someone else. It's somewhat like freedom of religion: gentle persuasion is good, coercion is bad, and liberty of conscience is essential.</p>
