I ran into one of the conference attendees at my hotel, pushing a stroller. Of course, I had to stop and admire his beautiful nine month old baby boy. My friend introduced me to his wife, explaining that I was the one he had told her about, that this time last year I had brought my new baby to the conference. She just glared at me, and immediately I understood the problem. <\/p>\n
\u201cYou\u2019re mad at your husband, aren\u2019t you,\u201d I said.
\n\u201cYes!\u201d
\n\u201cHe\u2019s been ignoring you all week, hasn\u2019t he?\u201d
\n\u201cYes!\u201d Her look of disdain was directed at both her husband, sheepishly looking at his feet, and me.<\/p>\n
I guess I was partly too blame for a week of unfulfilled expectations. My wife and daughter didn\u2019t come to the conference this year. She told me she would never come with me again, since I completely ignored her all week and she was bored out of her mind. <\/p>\n
I gave a sympathetic glance to my friend, knowing that there was nothing more I could do. This was a lesson most often learned the hard way.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
