But I don't.

I've heard people say that when you took care of a baby you got fond of it--but you don't--I don't, anyway.

And it's a nuisance--it interferes with everything.

It just ties me down--and now of all times when I'm trying to get the Junior Reds started.

And I couldn't go to Alice Clow's party last night and I was just dying to.
Of course father isn't really unreasonable and I can always get an hour or two off in the evening when it's necessary; but I knew he wouldn't stand for my being out half the night and leaving Susan or mother to see to the baby.
