Man: Well, uh, for some reason I always thought raising kids would be a lot easier than it is. Woman: Yeah, I know. Tell me about it. What's, what's the problem? Man: Well, for about six months, he's been really down, and sometimes, I can't get him out of bed in the morning to go to school. He just seems so depressed. I just can't figure it out.
