Lynn's Comments: My kids never babysat for each other, but babysitters were a lifeline for us. We had some wonderful, trustworthy sitters to whom I owed my sanity—a few I’ve even stayed in touch with! A good babysitter really does become part of the family.

Lynn's Comments: With computers today, this just might work. The operative word is "might." Folks who don't have kids or whose kids are grown and gone have no idea (or have forgotten) how much time a baby takes!

Lynn's Comments: The scenarios that took place in grocery stores and pharmacies were fun to draw, but the artists who helped to ink and colour the backgrounds for me hated them—there were just too many little details.

Lynn's Comments: I was expected to do a comic strip that would expose the realities of family life. "Tell it like it is" from a woman's point of view. Sometimes the truth hurts.

Lynn's Comments: When I was about 15, my dad's mother came to live with us for a few weeks. Weeks turned into months. It was my room she was given and I had to sleep in the unfinished basement. No matter how nicely my folks fixed it up, I was still banished from my own bed—looking at studs and drywall, watching for spiders and listening for things that go bump in the night. During the day, I'd go into my room for clothes and school supplies, and grandma's teeth would grin at me from a jar on my bedside table. I loved my grandmother but I was glad when she left so I could go back to the security and familiarity of my own space. My room smelled like "Grandma" for ages!
