I'm not going to be..., you are grown-ups.<br/><br/>Andy :Retiring for motherhood? <b>I knew something had to give.</b><br/><br/>Nancy: No, everyone needs to be responsible for themselves is all.<br/><br/>Andy: What do you think we've been doing for the past 3 years.<br/><br/>Can you give me other examples of how to use "something has to give"?<br/><br/>Thank you
