I'm confident enough in my knowledge and abilities, when I catch the inevitable grief, I can laugh.

I agree to a point. A couple of years ago when my then 6-yr old was in and out and in and out of the hospital about 7 times in 6 weeks or seomthing, the reffing was a good distraction some days, but some days it was too much. Still, when I could be in that laughing it off mood, it was a great help. A little pleasure and a nice little endorphin rush to get me through the next few hours of crisis. And when he was actually in the hospital, I didn't need to find a babysitter!
